Aim. Research and description of the image of a volunteer in the minds of people who are not involved in volunteer activities.

Methodology. Data collection was carried out by the method of a group associative experiment. The respondents were given an incentive to evaluate the “volunteer”. The responses (associative reactions) were submitted to a Google-form. The semantic field of the “volunteer” stimulus under study was analyzed by calculating the absolute frequencies of associations and ranks. Semantic universals were identified, which included associations used by the respondents for a reason. During the analysis, 313 associations were identified, which were distributed by frequency of occurrence. Semantic groups of associations were also identified and described.

Results. The article presents the results of a study aimed at identifying the image of a volunteer through the analysis of associative reactions of respondents – people who are not involved in volunteer activities. In the opinion of a group of respondents, volunteers are kind and helpful people who selflessly help others. In the semantic field of the studied stimulus, 5 semantic groups were identified – the main semantic categories describing: 1) the direction of the volunteer’s activity, 2) the characteristics of interpersonal relationships, 3) the basis of the volunteer’s activity, 4) active involvement, 5) emotional involvement. The respondents’ presentation reflects the main characteristics of the volunteers’ activities, as well as their personal and emotional characteristics, and the parameters of interpersonal relationships with others.

Research implications. The results of the study complement the theoretical material of the currently available works on the study of the personality of a volunteer. The data obtained during the research can be used within the framework of volunteer organizations and movements to solve the problems of involving people in volunteerism, psychological counseling and individual counseling of volunteers in order to form their psychological readiness for volunteering, as well as their psychological support in the process activities.

Aim. To identify the relationship between the characteristics of parent-child relationships and the motives for lying in children aged 9-10 years.

Methodology. The study involved 67 mothers and their children aged 9-10. A comprehensive set of psychological diagnostic methods was employed: the “Nechaev’s Stories” technique by A. P. Nechaev, the “Determination of Dominant Motives for Lying” technique (A. Garmaev, P. Ekman), and the methodology by V. S. Ivashkin and V. V. Onufrieva “Determination of Individual Parent-Child Relationship Styles”. The data were subjected to both qualitative and quantitative analyses, including mathematical-statistical processing methods (one-way ANOVA) using the SPSS software.

Results. The analysis of the collected data revealed a correlation between parent-child relationships and instances of lying among 9-10-year-old children. Characteristics of parent-child relationships that are associated with the motives for lying were identified. The predominant tendency in parent-child relationships that encourages lying in children aged 9-10 can be characterized as distance and alienation.

Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of the social and psychological factors that influence the formation of moral aspects of personality, the relationships between characteristics of parent-child relationships, and the social and psychological traits of children, as well as their impact on instances of lying. The obtained data can be utilized in the development of a comprehensive program for psychologists to work with parents aimed at harmonizing parent-child relationships.

Aim. To describe the functional relationship of impersonal, passive and modal forms in German and Russian.

Methodology. 200 examples selected from the National Corpus of the Russian Language and from the DWDS corpus. Russian and German impersonal sentences were characterized by the descriptive method; the comparative method revealed the specifics of the German and Russian languages in expressing the semantics of state, attitude, evaluation, spontaneous actions and root modal values; the correlation of impersonality, passive voice and modality was revealed by the method of component analysis.

Results. The following types of correlations were compiled and described: 1) semantics of the state, relations, assessments, predicates of existence: impersonality (Russian) → impersonality (German); 2) spontaneous action: impersonality (Russian) → passive voice (German); 3) dispositional, deontic, volitional modality: impersonality (Russian) → modal/ modalized verbs or constructions (German).

Research implications. The publication makes a definite contribution to the development of the concept of the inter-categorical relationship of impersonal, modal and voice meanings. The results obtained can be used in the course of studying the course “Comparative typology of German and Russian languages”.

Aim. To conduct theoretical and practical research of song discourse in the social-cultural aspect based on the material of English, German and Russian languages.

Methodology. The main methods used in this study were the continuous sampling method, the descriptive method, the component analysis method, and the comparative method.

Results. Song discourse, using the example of its three genres – pop, rap and rock – is analyzed from a socio-cultural point of view as the interaction of society and language. The ideographically marked lexemes are identified, representing different parts of speech, the use of which in musical texts reflects the basic values, emotions and stereotypes of representatives of English, German and Russian language cultures.

Research implications. The work present the analysis of song discourse in the socio-cultural aspect from the point of view of an ideographic approach to the systematization of lexicon units as an object of song discourse functioning based on the material of English, German and Russian languages. The results of the research make a definite contribution to such areas of linguistic research as discourse study, the theory of nomination, the study of the relationship between language and ethnicity, thinking and language, culture and language. The practical significance of the research is due to the possibility of using the material and results of the work in the teaching of various language disciplines such as practical courses in English, German and Russian, general and comparative lexicology, stylistics, as well as in translation activities.

Aim. To analyze the traditions and the current state of linguistics through the prism of comparative historical and anthropological evolution of scientific ideas using the example of V. M. Alpatov’s linguistic personality.
Methodology. The main method is linguopersonological, which makes it possible to study the stages of a scientist’s formation, his professional interests and discoveries, and describe the communicative features of a linguistic personality. The historical and linguistic method analyzes events and people related to the formation of linguistic traditions. A sociolinguistic method is also used to investigate extralinguistic factors that influenced the formation of scientific concepts. Biographical, psycholinguistic, and historical-cultural methods substantiate the axiological characteristics of a personality, reveal the linguistic picture of the scientist’s world, supplement it with rare facts, identify constants, and show individual author’s speech-behavioral tactics.
Results. A model of sociolinguistic communicative experiment was developed and applied, the content of which was the identification of unique personal properties of V. M. Alpatov as a linguistic personality. For the first time in the practice of communicating with a scientist, author’s material has been collected about the life and work of his parents, who held prominent public positions in science, and teachers who influenced the formation of V. M. Alpatov’s professional views. The facts of the evolution of the axiological, anthropological and linguistic worldviews of the second half of the XX – beginning of the XXI century are traced in a comparative historical perspective. The main patterns of the formation and development of V. M. Alpatov’s scientific biography, included in the general context of historical, cultural and socio-political changes in the country, are identified and characterized.
Research implications. A heuristic experiment has been conducted to demonstrate and refine the methods and techniques of modern linguistics. An experiment on the cognitive analysis of scientific creativity was carried out. The problems of linguistics of the XX century are actualized and critically reconsidered in the context of promising ideas of linguistics of the XXI century. The practical significance lies in the demonstration and use of V. M. Alpatov’s scientific and theoretical experience in the professional activities of historians, orientalists and linguists – in source studies, linguoculturology, orientalism, linguistic typology, historiography of linguistics, sociolinguistics, translation studies and linguistic prognostics. Scientific dialogue as a genre makes it possible to describe and systematize the communicative features of a linguistic personality, to use this experience in the practice of preparing discussion materials on topical issues of humanitarian knowledge. Conversations about linguistics can be used as additional material to journalistic practice, lectures and seminars in university courses “General Linguistics”, “History of Linguistic studies”, “Introduction to Linguistics”, “Theory of Communication”, “Sociolinguistics”, “History of Russia”

Aim. To study the phenomenon of charisma, which was first identified and described in the works of Max Weber, to analyze the specifics of its occurrence and manifestations in the modern political process through the prism of its linguistic originality by comparing the discourses of famous charismatic politicians.

Methodology. When analyzing the features of the linguistic arsenal of the most prominent political charismatics, an interdisciplinary approach is used that allows the application of a set of modern techniques and methods for studying texts with concentrated political content: contextual, comparative, component and translation analysis of the original speeches of the authors.

Results. As the result of the study, the authors admit that each of the leaders under consideration has his own “individual set” of linguistic techniques and tools, from the skillful use of epithets and metaphors that embellish reality (or exaggerate and disgust comparisons among ordinary people) to the brilliant use of linguistic means to manipulate their voters, opponents, colleagues and all those who form the political environment of interest to this figure.

Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the study of the phenomenon of charisma through the prism of its linguistic component, which is effectively involved in a narrowly focused propaganda impact in order to support a certain political trend and create appropriate thinking patterns.

Aim. To establish similarities and differences in nominal categories in Russian and French in comparative terms, as well as to identify similarities and discrepancies in the use of linguistic means of expression of these categories.

Methodology. To identify the similarities and differences between the linguistic means of the categories of grammatical gender and number of the languages being compared, the comparative method was used as the main  one, the method of continuous sampling was used in the formation of the factual material corpus, as well as description and interpretation of the comparison results, analysis and synthesis of various viewpoints on the nature of these grammatical categories, semantic analysis in the interpretation of factual material.

Results. The discrepancies and similarities of the compared languages by nominal categories, as well as the means of linguistic expression of these categories, have been identified and established. The morphological structure of nouns in Russian is much more complex than in French. This corresponds to a greater variety of grammatical expression means.

Research implications. The analysis conducted is significant and relevant for the comparative study of two languages in the issue of nominal categories and their linguistic expression. The practical value of the research lies in the possibility of using the results obtained in the development of lecture and practical courses on comparative linguistics, as well as the theory and practice of teaching French and Russian languages at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels in the disciplines of theoretical grammar and comparative typology.

Aim. To identify the image of white color in the minds of the Russian-speaking representatives of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan and compare the resulting image with the image of color term white in the minds of the representatives of Russian culture.

Methodology. The material for the study was 193 reactions obtained during a free associative experiment in which 161 representatives of modern Russian and Kyrgyz cultures took part.

Results. During the analysis of the results of the free associative experiment, the main features of the structure of the associative field of the color term white among the representatives of modern Russian and Kyrgyz cultures were determined.

Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the development of the psycholinguistic research by addressing the issues of stimulus variability. The proposed results can be used in the course of studying the theory of language, linguoculturology, intercultural communication.
