The article represents the views of scholars on the interpretation of the notions of the first taxons of the following Homo: Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, Homo erectus (ergaster). The refined definition of the "cradle of humankind" notion, i.e. the territory where one of the first representative of the Homo probably originated has been represented. The main anthropological and archaeological versions of localization of the first taxons of the Homo have been mentioned: radical change of diet and food strategy; improvement of locomotion based on the acquired bipedalism by hominids; the beginning of the systematic processing of stone, as well as the directed technological progress. SAnTRAUKA Straipsnis pateikia mokslininkų pažiūras į homo habilis, homo rudolfensis ir homo erectus (ergaster), pirmųjų taksonų sąvokų interpretacijas; patikslintą "žmonijos lopšio"-teritorijos, kurioje galbūt atsirado pirmasis žmonijos atstovas-apibrėžimą. Taip pat jame minimos svarbiausios antropologinės ir archeologinės pirmųjų žmogaus taksonų lokalizacijos versijos: radikalios permainos maitinimosi strategijoje; hominidų įgyto judėjimo ant dviejų kojų tobulėjimas; akmens apdirbimo ir nuolatinio panaudojimo pradžia bei nuosekli technologinė pažanga.

This paper represents the methodological procedure of diagnosing behavioural stereotypes resilience of different language cultures representatives. The methodological procedure is aimed at compiling a typology of narrative codes of stereotypes resilience of four language cultures representatives and it involves the implementation of six successive stages that will help: 1) to compile a list of personal characteristics of respondents involved in the survey; 2) to compile stimulus lists, i.e. markers of expressive narratives (by keywords); 3) to enter the compiled stimuli lists into the Google Forms with corresponding guidelines for respondents; 4) to perform a free associative experiment with the British, French, Germans and Ukrainians of different social groups through electronic communication; 5) to do the computer processing of the obtained results with the involvement of the information-analytical service STIMULUS; 6) to differentiate the degree of stereotypes resilience of separate social groups of each studied linguoculture in situations of expressive narratives, and differentiate linguistic cultures according to three types of their resilience and their degrees of adaptation to stressful phenomena.

The article discusses a new hypothesis of coevolutionary-macromutational origin of human language, through the prism of which this planetary-noospheric phenomenon is proposed to be considered as a natural artifact of holisticsynergetic coevolution of nature, society and culture. The following assumption has been suggested: the proposed hypothetical idea is a resonance of the former two philosophical theories: the fusion theory and the thesis theory, which were regarded by scientists either as natural or artificial (conventional / conditional) nature of human language. At the same time, they did not completely deny the origin of the human language as a result of various types of activities. The represented arguments helped to confirm the views of anthropologists, culturologists and other scholars. The creation of various artifacts (tangible and intangible) took place in all stages of evolution: geogenesis – biogenesis – psychogenesis – anthropogenesis and at a subsequent stage of Homo sapiens. However, language as the most important product of global evolutionism was formed at the stage of anthropogenesis, in particular as a corollary to the molecular mutations of human brain. The term “coevolution” has been transferred to the sphere of linguoanthropogenesis. In conjunction with the hypothesis of macromutation the natural artifact origin of human language is consistently explained under the scenario of biogenesis – sociogenesis – culturogenesis. The essence of the hypothetical result is that a qualitatively new driving force for the continuation of this scenario can be noospherogenesis, which is determined by historical and cultural development of mankind, its activities in all spheres of life and, most importantly, by the planetary high-tech mind.

The monograph represents a new interpretation of the relationship between the phenomenon of a Man and the triad of LANGUAGE -CULTURE -DISCOURSE. Taking into account the new cognitive-discursive approach, the authors made an attempt to harmonize their scientific observations with the content of the studied macrolinguistic issues in three parts of the monograph. A general methodology was developed for analysis of factual material. The key narratives of each type of discourse reproduce the value constants and dominants of ethnic groups at various stages of civilizational and planetary development. The concept of the monograph is the triad of LANGUAGE -CULTURE -DISCOURSE that is interpreted as an extremely complex synergistic continuum of an open type, which takes on material form with the participation of a Man, i.e. a representative of certain social communities and, at the same time, a generator of various types of speech, which ensures efficient communication of its participants.

The chapter describes the tools of the AntConc corpus manager and its main seven tabs for working with texts: Concordance, Concordance Plot, File View, Words Clusters, Collocates, Word List, Key Word List. To identify and search for keywords with the resilience semantics as a fixation of the confrontation -resistance -recovery triad, the focus was on the Word List tab, which is a tool for counting and presenting all word usages in the corpus as an ordered list.
