Abstract: The article is devoted to the typological analysis of proprial vocabulary used in such multi-structural languages as the French and Buryat languages. The aim of the research is to define universal and specific features of national anthroponymicons and their functional content that reflects specific national features and properties of the language system. Linguocultural aspect of studying proprial vocabulary satisfies the needs of contrastive linguistics and the need to adequately understand and transmit information through cross-cultural communication, translation of socio-political and fiction literature as well as growing demands of teaching foreign languages when the language is taught in close connection with the culture of the country. The research methods include comparative analysis that studies languages disregarding the country of their origin in oder to define similarities and differences in their structures and expressive means used to describe the same phenomena as well as methods of etimological and component analysis that illustrate both general nomination patterns and national cultural specifics of the language. The results of the typological analysis prove the thesis that appelative grounds in the majority of nations have universal nomination patterns. At the same time, proprial vocabulary of each language has its own specific national and cultural semantics that is an important component of national cultural associations.

Abstract: This article is devoted to the problem of using such feature of the metal as 'value' in the Rusisan language picture of the world. The value is interpreted as an experimental sign that is created and exists inseparably with human. The Russian language picture of the world views metal as an element of axiological scale: platinum, gold, silver, bronze are seen as metals of high value and copper, stannum and lead are conceptualized as metals of low value. In everyday life and literature knowledge about these metals are often used as the cognitive basis for describing other objects. In the course of the research the author of the article uses a cognitive definition method that implies determination and description of cognitive features in language materials as well as comparison and linguistic observaton. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that being based on the experimental feature sof metals allows speakers to comprehend other spheres and learn new information. Based on the analysis of the language material carried out the author concludes that the metaphor with the source of 'metal value' is actively used for the demonstration of axiology of different objects which proves the important of this means of qualifying objects and underlines the importance of this kind of metaphor.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the peculiarities of speaker's functional roles in a literary text taking into account the functional and semantic contents of the text. The authors of the article view the demonstration and possible variation of a speaker's role in the artistic text, describe the dependence of explication peculiarities on the kind of an utterance's referential structure and associated type of speech. As an example, th eauthors analyze the chapter 'Taman' from Mikhail Lermontov's novel 'A Hero of Our Time' as a flat fiction masterpiece. The methodological basis of the research involves the main provisions of the theory of functional and semantic types of speech. The nature of the research has determined the use of the main method of the structural and semantic description which implies direct observation, analysis, comparison and classification of linguistic factors. The major role is played by the oppositive analysis that allows to compare description texts and narrative texts as well as so called 'reasoning' texts. The researchers describe the connection between speaker's roles and functional and semantic structure of an artistic text. Such approach allows to analyze the functions and roles of a speaker taking into account the general logical basis of the speech types like 'description', 'narration' or 'reasoning' and the nature of an actor that creates the utterance and semantics of predicates. This approach to the analysis of an artistic text demonstrates how the role of a speaker impacts his or her choice of linguistic means, tonality, expressive patterns and means and allows to define the most typical features of a writer idiostyle.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the origin of a perfect in Germantic languages. The analysis of the Gothic material and possible means of borrowings, functional and semantic features of the possesive verb and past participle structures as well as sociolinguistic analysis of ancient English demonstrate that the hypothesis of borrowing creates a number of contradictions in semantics and general grammaticalisation of a perfect at the early stage of its development in the ancient Germanic languages. The difference in grammaticalisation paces of different Germantic languages is explained by intra-linguistic features of their aspectual-temporal systems. The periphery nature of the construction is viewed as a consequence of their statal semantics that is not in line with the general aspectual-temporal system. As the grammaticalisation and acquirance of the status of an analytical construction with a perfect temporaral meaning happens, the frequency of a construction rises, too, which demonstrates its categorisation and integration into the aspectual-temporarl system of Germanic languages. The comparative historical method and philological analysis of examples, analysis of selected words from the corpus of texts, semantic analysis of the construction are used as research methods. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that Bondar provides a set of arguments that prove the failure of the 'latin' hypothesis that tries to explain the origin of a German perfect. The author gives a semantic differentiation between the types of statal perfects which development helps to explain the statal nature of the analysed construction as well as a number of other semantic puzzlers that present the semantic and syntactic analysis of the haben-participle II structure.

Abstract: The Russian language being inflectional and English being analytic, the translation of the of the as-pect meanings of the verbs raises difficulties and problems. That’s why the object of the research is the form Perfect of the English verb, functioning in the different kinds of fiction, the subject being the comparative analyses and the ways of translation of the aspect meanings of the Russian verbs into English. At a comparative research of the functional and semantic complexes of a verb the similarities and differences in the compared languages reveal. In Russian aspectual-temporal meanings of a ver-bal form correlate with semantic components of the verbal action, in English both parts of verbal semantics being implemented by the compound category Tense-Aspect. At the same time the inter-nal asymmetry of verbal forms and meanings for each of the compared languages appear. Moreover if there are imperfective and perfective aspect in Russian, the translation of these particular forms into English may have more different ways, in particular, it may be both continuous and non-continuous forms, both infinitive and modal constructions. The novelty of this research is caused by the appeal to the deep language semantic characteristic of a grammatical form. The search of equiv-alent means of transferring of the complex of meanings of the Perfect form in Russian while trans-lating, the analysis and the methods of development of adequate translation of the content of the verbal Perfect form, the comparison of the Russian tense and aspect complexes of a verb to Tense-Aspect category for the Perfect form are the points for consideration. The offered variants of translation of concrete lexical units and structures will help trainees to understand nuances while translating both languages. Having analyzed a number of syntactic structures, we have come to conclusion that comparing the semantics of aspect and the ways of ver-bal action in Russian with the semantics of the English Perfect the asymmetry is revealed, which is determined by interlingual structural-typological distinctions, in particular, by existence - absence of similar forms, their various semantic, analytical and synthetic tendencies. The asymmetry is shown especially brightly in translation process. It is a contextual environment of the categorial meaning that is a starting point for the trans-lation and helps to avoid both a positive, and negative interference of both languages.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the nomination of family relations in Saltykov-Shchedrin's novels. The term 'nomination' is widely used in linguistics that relates it to all kinds of naming of a certain object. The expressive and stylistic means that influences the interpretation of an image by a reader is its nomination presented as some kind of a chain of images in a text; very often literary experts speak of the 'system' of nominations. This research focuses on the system of nominations of family relations in Saltykov-Shchedrin's novels 'The Golovlyov Family' and 'The Peshekhonsky Area'. By using the continuous sampling method, the author of the article has discovered over 600 nominations of family relations. The results of the analysis of family relations nominations demonstrate that nominations used by the writer underline the hypocrisy of the heroes and prove the formality of their relations that lack a true feeling or contribution. The famly relations described by the writer only contribute to the deceipt and humiliaton and are used for observation of the etiquette as the sole purpose.

Abstract: The aim of the research is to analyze the mechanism of transposition of short adjectives into input-model words and expressions in the Russian language. Based on the example of word forms 'it is seen', 'it is heard', and 'it is known' explicated into predicative and impersonal-predicative functions of someone's audio, auditive or cognitive perception the author of the article describes syntax conditions, features, stages and limits of adjective modalation. The rationale of the research is predetermined by the growing role of the subjective modal factor in the language. In the course of the research the author has used general research, general linguistic and special research methods (comparison, generalisation, description, oppositive analysis, distributive and transformation analysis). The research is focused on the core input-modal words created as a result of functional-semantic modalation of adjective word forms. It is demonstrates that the areas of the modal word core at the scale of transposition are achieved by single word forms with '-o' comparable to adjectives and predicates. An example is the modal unit 'it is seen' used as an input element of a common expanded sentence. At the stage of the core it is derived of such predicative features as categorial semantics of the evaluation; the function of the main element of an impersonal (input) sentence; compatibility with the verb conjunction of neuter gender, singular number and subject-object and/or circumstance determinants. Neither it has the features of an adjective (adjective lexical semantics); categorial meaning of a sign of an object; grammatical categories, forms and paradigms; functions of a predicate of a two-element construction; word-modifying and sentence connections. Based on its antonomic meaning, a lexical and grammatical omonym is created.

Abstract: The article presents a theoretical research of the terms 'idiolect' and individual style or 'idiostyle'. The author fo the article outlines the problems in the sphere of studying the phenomenon of idiostyle and idiolect that need to be solved such as differentiatio between conventional and individual, the use of idiostyle outside creative writing, quantitative features of idiostyle, etc. The author offers a classification of idiostyle aspects such as cultural historical, genre, psycholinguistic, cognitive, axiological, systems structural, linguopoetical, semantic stylistical, etc. The author demonstreates that the communicative-stylistic (pragmatic) parameter is the most important for creating an individual style. To create the idiostyle model, the researcher defines the writer's intentions in the texts under study. The main instrument for the differentiation between terms is the terminological line 'linguistic personality - speech personality - communication personality'. The image of the writer is the result of his or her use of the idiostyle as part of text and intra-textual relations. The practical realisation of the communicative stylistic aspect is demonstrated based on the analysis of a creative legacy of a journalist, publisher and Russian educator of the XVIIIth century N. I. Novikov. The idiostyle is viewed as the key characteristic of the authorship and a result of targeted writing activity.
