DescriptionThe article describes the characteristic features of British political discourse, its historical development and the formation and characteristics of the British sense of humor. We noted that political humor reflects the mood and attitude of trends in politics. Political discourse has been viewed as socially-oriented communication, which is in the nature of persuasive and compelling communication, dominated by the imperative type of speech, which, in turn, creates preconditions for the implementation of the comic. We have defined defamatory, socially critical, and harmonizing functions. Special attention is paid to the role of the addressee, as the factor, which determines the political communication's aim. We have observed that British politicians use humor carefully so as not to provoke their opponents and dissenters in mocking their use of humor or turning their statements against themselves. The article contains the analysis of illustrative material consisting of quotations of the British political and public figures. English humor can be studied from the point of view of transformational grammar, in which case the jokes are divided into prosaic and poetic ones. Prosaic jokes are based on social and cultural situations, human interactions. Poetical jokes are based on grammatical forms and their irregular usage

The role of corresponding meanings markers discernment has been emphasized in indirect communication as part of communication in general.

Markers implementing covert communication are such deviations from the original behavioral, emotional, bodily and behavioral norms of human like agitation, change of clothing style, facial expressions, manner of smoking, and contradictions between verbal and non-verbal actions. The ability to decode visual and non-verbal information, as well as features of paralinguistic aspect of communication is the key to its effectiveness. At the same time, paralinguistic funds may implement indirect communication in violation of generally accepted social norms or originality of a person's behavior. The norm of originality can become a conduit for indirect communication, carrying the potential for conflict, not only at its violation or deviation from it, but when you apply the intensity, excessiveness; when realized its ambivalent character

10.00.00 Philological sciences
DescriptionThe article deals with the specifics of verbal actualization of the concept “MUSLIM WORLD” in the modern English-speaking discourse. Based on the achievements of cognitive linguistics and cultural linguistics, it is possible to research the concept of “Muslim World” as a phenomenon of the English linguistic culture. The author notes the concept can be submitted directly via the meaning of “MUSLIM WORLD” or by its connotation. The means of a nominative, descriptive and expressive realization of the concept “MUSLIM WORLD” are described using the material of 100 pieces of contemporary Englishlanguage discourse, which actualize the concept “MUSLIM WORLD”. The author concludes the concept is treated as a multidimensional construct of thought, reflecting the knowledge of the surrounding reality, the process and the result of human activity, experience and knowledge about the world, containing the information about it. Cognitive-discursive analysis permits to set the content and the structure of the concept “MUSLIM WORLD” not only in the conditional but also in the discursive spaces in cooperation with nominative, descriptive and expressive realization. The author makes a conclusion the concept “MUSLIM WORLD” appears in the American print mass media from a negative sight - this is the result of a lack of public awareness about the cultural heritage of the Islamic world, its customs, and key problems

SUFFIXATION AS A PRODUCTIVE WAY OF TERM-FORMATION
10.00.00 Philological sciences
DescriptionThis work deals with the characteristics of suffixation as on of the most productive ways of termformation. Linguistic study and description of the term-forming system in the natural science terminology is relevant because suffixation as a cognitive-derivational mechanism of a language is not being studied closely enough, although it is necessary due to a rapid development of numerous terminological and subject areas. There is a pressing need felt in terminology studies to define and describe productive methods and primary ways of producing substantive terms in the natural science terminology, because it holds a special interest for humanity. The processes of suffixal term derivation of substantives in the natural science terminology are important cognitive processes in scientific worldview development and a national language in general. The processes of suffixal term derivation have a specific quality that allows reflecting the categorical affiliation of the term in its structure. Terms derived suffixally can be categorised into three terminological modules for suffixal derivation that are formed based on a common root, suffix or a derivational model. The study of the derivational mechanisms of termformation in the natural science terminology (chemistry, mineralogy, geology, Pharm, etc.) based on a noun allows to say that the suffixation is one of the most productive ways of forming derived terms. A suffix acts as a special cognitive-derivational code in the derivational relations system holding and actualizing specific information

AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL PROSE OF BORIS PASTERNAK: THE PROBLEM OF THE AUTHOR’S IDENTIFICATION
10.00.00 Philological sciences
DescriptionThe article deals with the problem of author identification in the early autobiographical prose of Boris Pasternak. In his early autobiography "Safe Conduct" the poet searches for artistic and personal self-identification. Unlike the traditional genre of autobiography, "Safe Conduct" is based not on memory of real facts but on sensual feelings from them. It means that autobiographical prose created by the poet reduces the real biographical facts, filling gaps with emotions and feelings. This feature coupled with fragmentariness of narrative fragmentation tends “challenge to biographism”. Indulging in memories, searching for artistic self-identification the poet defines his own identity. Search for himself Pasternak associates with biography of "other" people, who have played a great role in formation of his personality. “Safe Conduct” is tractate on someone else's creative genius. Meanwhile the author puts himself aside and takes a reset position towards “other” talents. These relationships have a repeated temper. Firstly, the author admires someone’s talent, coming closer to it, and then breaks up with it, and finds his own way. The final goal of self-identification is poetry; the author closes to it through philosophy and music, overcomes their attractiveness and leaves them. The fundamental feature of Pasternak’s poetry and biography is the necessity to identify and understand himself through "alien", "other" things
