The article aims to study the culture codes depicted in English postmodern discourse verbalized by phraseological units. The objectives of this paper are to disclose quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the phraseological units in Fowles’ “The Collector”, specify the culture codes actualized in them, and provide their semantic classification. The principal research methods are induction, deduction, synthesis, content, contextual, componential, and parametric analyses, the analysis of dictionary definitions, descriptive and quantitative methods. The current study results suggest that the imagery of Fowles’ “The Collector” is created through somatic, artefactual, temporal, spatial, natural, spiritual, zoomorphic, quantitative, and other culture codes. The study demonstrated that the phraseological units with somatic components are the most numerous in the analyzed corpus. They refer to a person’s mental or emotional state, physical appearance, and his/her adaptation to the social environment, functioning as symbols of national specificity and identity. Furthermore, the somatic idioms with negative connotations prevail over those positively marked. Cultural codes within each group are linked based on similar senses, concepts, or ideas compared to material objects. Thus, an in-depth linguocultural analysis of phraseologisms modelling the English world picture would not be complete without identifying the existing culture codes.
The article is devoted to revealing the phenomenon of contemporary changes in the language space, in accordance with the processes of transition that take place in the economy of Ukraine in the context of knowledge representation, neuro-modeling and artificial intelligence. The relevance and expediency of the study are due to the uncertainty to some extent of innovative processes occurring in the development of the contemporary Ukrainian language in connection with the transitional processes in the economy. The relevance of the study is determined by: 1) the importance for contemporary linguistics of identifying and describing the structural and typological features of the “dominant” (according to Zagorovskaya) lexical and semantic subsystems of the contemporary Ukrainian language, reflecting the most significant concepts of contemporary Ukrainian conceptosphere; 2) the importance of the lexical subsystem of public administration not only for the contemporary Ukrainian language and contemporary Ukrainian national consciousness, but also for the effective economic policy of the state; 3) a lack of special generalizing research on the problems of formation, development and current state of the Ukrainian vocabulary of state regulation of the economy; 4) the need to clarify and improve the methodology of complex analysis of lexical and semantic systems in the Ukrainian language, methods and techniques of describing lexical units in synchronous and diachronic aspects. 5) current needs in the use of artificial intelligence, based on the principles of neuro-modeling in the representation of knowledge in the conditions of transition economy of Ukraine.
№ 4 (136) травень-червень 2015 р. 51 УДК 21.284 ЛЕВЧЕНКО ТЕТЯНА, старший викладач кафедри політології та філософії Національного університету державної податкової служби України, м. Ірпінь ІНТЕРПРЕТАЦІЇ КОНЦЕПТУ ВІРИ В СУЧАСНІЙ ПРОТЕСТАНТСЬКІЙ ТЕОЛОГІЇУ статті простежено основні закономірні інтерпретації феномену віри в сучасній протестантській теології. Автор доходить висновку, що сучасна протестантська теологія розуміє віру неметафізично й персоналістично. Так, К. Барт під вірою розуміє новий спосіб життя особистості, той справжній спосіб існування, який екзистенціалісти відрізняли від існування звичайного. Цей спосіб життя можливий після прийняття особистістю власного засудження, усвідомленого внаслідок проповіді християнської керігми (звістки). Протестантська теологія кінця XX -початку XXІ століття розуміє віру як вірність спільноти Богові та визнання біблійного наративу (Н. Т. Райт). Альтернативною концепцією є розуміння віри як інтуїтивного знання (Дж. Мілбанк). Ключові слова: сучасна теологія; віра; керігма; наратив.Постановка проблеми і стан її вивчення. Актуальність нашого дослідження пов'язана з необхідністю осмислення процесів парадигмальних змін у розумінні віри в сучасній протестантській теології. Визначення того, чим є віра у XX столітті, перестало бути правом церковної влади. Нові інтерпретації концепту віри In the article an attempt of inteprepretation the discourse about modernization as a way of self-understanding the Modern is being made. Importance of this way, which at the time of postmodernist denial of universal ways of cognition appears as one of a few legitimate variants of rational comprehension of the Modern, is being marked. However, the analysis of several authoritative concepts in this sphere allows to come to a conclusion that Modern is a local cultural formation, expansionist ideology of which doesn't turn non-Modern states into new regions of Modern, but directs their development to the path of satellites of Modern.
In the issue of Kyiv’s greening strategy, an increase in the number of public parks in each district of the city was noted, but their expediency is not always substantiated. That is why the purpose of the study is to highlight the role of public parks in the urbanised environment and to analyse normative indicators. An analysis of the quantitative indicators of public plantings within the public parks of the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv was carried out. The actual number of public parks, their areas, and the main results of the public park survey have been established. Based on field studies and cartographic materials parks are classified according to visual features. The sizes, areas, shapes, layout, and composition of the plantations at the experimental sites were determined. Classification by functions: transit, recreational, memorial, and by the time of creation. It was established that 70% of the district’s parks are intended for short-term recreation, and the largest number of parks are located along the streets (39% of the total area of the district’s parks). It was determined that the territories of public parks of the Sviatoshynskyi district occupy small areas (from 0.11 to 7.86 ha) and are evenly distributed throughout the district. In terms of shape, parks of a rectangular configuration predominate in the city – 35% by area, and in terms of appearance – parks of a small area (up to 0.5 ha). The composition of plantings is dominated by parks with a preference for deciduous species (40%). It was determined that according to the functional purpose, most of the parks perform the function of short-term recreation, and according to the time of creation, the majority of the parks were established in 2016-2020. The presented classification would allow to systematise the existing territories and developing the classification of the parks of the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv
