Aim. To analyze the main ways of formation of terms system in a new sphere - the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Methodology. For the realization of the aim the descriptive and comparative methods have been used. Results. For the investigated sphere, as for most systems of terms of the last decades, regardless of their national belonging, the dominance of the English-oriented terminology is characteristic. On the whole, the models of new terms formation are similar to the models of other systems described in special literature. The investigated system has a dynamic character, that is typical for a terminology in the process of formation. The dominance of English terms on the one hand, may stimulate the harmonization of the terms, which is an important part of the terminological work, and on the other hand, it increases the requirements to the adequacy of their representation in national systems of terms. Research implications. The investigated material and the results of its analysis may be used for the preparation of the dictionaries of the UAV terminology, and for the teaching of terminology and special translations in high schools.

Aim. To consider the means of linguistic actualization of tolerance and aggression in migration discourse using the example of the concept of HIJAB. Methodology. Using the contextual method, a free associative experiment, the analysis of the HIJAB concept is realized. Results. The main results of the study confirm the need to study the conceptual field of MIGRATION in the aspect of identifying concepts, attributes, symbols that are relevant for migrants, which play the role of markers of aggression, on the one hand, and tolerance, on the other. Research implications. The author was able to demonstrate not only linguistic conflictogenic means of representing the concept of HIJAB, but also linguo-tolerant ones that contribute to the popularization of polyculturalism.

Aim. The purpose of this study is to test two hypotheses: a) animators’ imaginative perception of their professional activity mostly informed the animation terminology formation, b) continuity between cinematic animation and other arts is reflected in terms and professionalisms incorporated in animation specialized vocabulary. Methodology. The main methods applied are etymological, componential, word-building, and context analysis. Results. The research has proved the hypotheses and it has been found out that a) conceptual mapping as the basis of metaphor assembled a cohesive representation of physical condition, psychological state and production phase in a single word belonging to the professional vocabulary; b) borrowings from standard English, and other arts terminologies such as painting, cinema and theater built the core of English animation professional vocabulary. Research implications. Research results contribute to the theory of terminology and give a wider perspective on its subject. The results provide a solid basis for lexicographical work and compiling a dictionary of English animation terms.

Aim. The paper deals with conceptualization of spiritual strength in English poetry. Methodology. William Earnest Henley’s and Rudyard Kipling’s poems were data analyzed and interpreted. Results. The concept “Spiritual strength” is a reflection of the quality of character which is required in the circumstances beyond habitual everyday situations when people face great risks balancing between life and death, overcome pain and suffering and perform their duty. This personal quality is especially significant in the English culture where the abilities to resist and endure the blows of fate and to demonstrate self-control are considered vital. Research implications. The research results contribute to the theory of linguistic concepts and the theory of poetic discourse.

Aim. The purpose of this study is to determine the attractive function of terms in headings in English, French, Russian discourses on railway topics. Methodology. The complex methodology includes contextual analysis, comparative method, cognitive-discursive analysis. Results. The research results demonstrate that terms play an important role in the titles of railway texts as a language tool with attractive function that contributes to the implementation of communicative tasks of the author, drawing the recipient's attention to certain aspects of important issues of the railway industry. Research implications. The study defines the pragmalinguistic approach to conducting cognitive-discursive research in the framework of comparing English, French, and Russian terms that represent concepts of railway activity and highlight its socially significant role. The practical significance lies in the possibility of applying the results in University and postgraduate practice, in scientific research on the theory of industry discourse.

Aim. The paper identifies the specific features of interpretive resource of translation transfer. Methodology. Through the interpretive analysis of F. Cooper’s novel “The Last of the Mohicans” and the comparative analysis of the original text and Russian translation, the interpretive resource of translation transfer is identified. Results. The author’s point of view on the phenomenon of translation transfer is presented. The author’s algorithm for determining interpretive resource of translation transfer is formulated and tested. For the first time, the definition of an interpretive resource is given. Research Implications. The results of scientific research contribute to the further development of interpretive text theory, to the methodology of taxonomic modeling of the interpretive resource of translation transfer. The term “interpretive resource” is introduced into the scientific thesaurus. The obtained results of the study can be applied in lectures on text theory.

Aim. Identify the processes of semantisation and desemantisation that affect the status of the word/term and determine the reasons for terminologization of a proper name. The article deals with problematic issues related to eponyms - a phenomenon that occupies a special position both in general lexicology and in terminology. Methodology. The study of the transition of a proper name into a term is carried out in a comparative aspect using the linguistic material related to art history terminology. The language material (Russian and English terms, which were based on an artist's name) was collected through the method of continuous sampling from dictionaries and scientific literature. To analyze the collected language material from the perspective of comparative linguistics, we used definitional, comparative, contrastive, and cognitive methods. Results. The results of the analysis suggest that the terminologization of proper names leads to the manifestation of homonymy and synonymy - phenomena that are considered undesirable in terminology, since they require an additional description of their meaning. But at the same time, eponymous terms perform a special function - a memorial one. Research implications. The results obtained in the course of the study supplement the information available in linguistics about the reasons for the terminologization of onomastic vocabulary. The practical value of the research lies in the possibility of using the linguistic material and the results of the research in onomastics, general and private lexicology, terminology, anthropolinguistics, comparative linguistics.

Aim. To reveal the features of complex lexical unit ‘region’ in Russian and English through their semantic structure analysis. Methodology. Comparative analysis and semantic structure analysis were applied. Results. The features of complex lexical unit ‘region’ in both languages were revealed and the presence of difficult homonymic and synonymic relations among the components of the word ‘region’ in both languages is shown. Research implications. The research results can be used in the field of lexicology, cultural linguistics, general linguistics or comparative studies of the country specific linguistic world view.

Aim. To analyse linguistic views of Charles Darwin in the aspect of naturalistic concept of language. Methodology. The main methods of the research are: descriptive analytical, comparative methods. Results. The article touches upon the following issues from the point of view of linguistic naturalism: difference between human and animal, thought-language correlation, natural selection and struggle for life of linguistic elements, genealogical classification of languages, comparison of language evolution with human growth. Mutual influence of Darwinism on linguistic naturalism and vice versa are proved. Research implications. The research results contribute to the theory of linguistic views of Charles Darwin.

Aim. Based on the theory of eco-translatology, the aim of this paper is to study the translation issues of Tang poetry by analyzing its rhythm, culture-loaded words, image and so on. Methodology. The author analyzed the poetry from the standpoint of three-dimensional transformations, or linguistic, cultural and communicative dimensions, through the methods of documentary and comparative analysis of the different versions. Results. The study shows that the versions of L. N. Menshikov and A. A. Steinberg can be considered the best translation because they fully reproduce the content and form of the ST in three dimensions. The translators use literal, free translation and transcription to adapt and select the eco-environment of translation through the three-dimensional transformations to achieve the balance between STand TT. Research implications. This paper indicated that the theory of eco-translatology has important theoretical and practical significance in promoting the development of Tang poetry translation.

Aim. The article analyses the texts of the literary genre of drama for the actualization of linguistic markers of colloquial speech in them. The focus is on the level of the syntactic organization of the language system in the text in a diachronic perspective, which makes it possible to show how stable the characteristics of colloquial speech are over time, and to compare the pragmatic tasks for the solution of which these elements are used by the authors of German-language dramatic texts in different historical eras. Methodology. The article examines fragments of dramatic works of German-speaking authors, created over almost three centuries, which illustrate the variety of techniques for the textual implementation of elements of colloquial speech. To solve the set tasks, the method of contextual and comparative analysis was used with the involvement of data from the linguistics of the text, syntactic stylistics, and texts of literary criticism. Results. The diachronic approach to the study of changes in the characteristics of the spoken style of speech in the texts of dramatic works made it possible to reveal a number of interesting regularities both in the field of linguistics of the text in general, and in the analysed texts, in particular. Research implications. The theoretical significance of the article materials lies in identifying the possibilities that the use of colloquial speech typical elements in dramatic texts gives and in describing their pragmatic functions, the proof of the validity of which was confirmed in the course of the study thanks to the rich empirical material. The practical significance of the material of the article lies in the fact that the proposed work can serve as a clear example of the analysis of one of the types of literary text with an emphasis on the syntactic component.
