“…A number of previous studies were devoted to the investigation of the culture-specific linguistic images of the world, namely the concept of Vietnam in the Russian linguistic consciousness [Uong, 2018]; the regional aspects of the Russian linguistic consciousness [Balyasnikova et al, 2018]; the reflection of the world in the linguistic consciousness of the Vietnamese [Nguyen, 2000]; etc. In order to reveal the differences in the linguistic images of the world, such studies often include the comparison of the data obtained in different nations, contrasting, e. g., the concept holiday [Haitong and Chulkina, 2021] and the svoy-chuzhoy opposition [Paderina and Xue, 2021] in the Russians and the Chinese; the concept of hometown in German, Russian, and Vietnamese cultures [Mymrina and Abdrashitova, 2015], to mention but a few. However, comprehensive, multifaceted studies devoted to mutual representation of the Russians and the Vietnamese in language and culture were initiated only recently [Markovina et al, 2021;.…”

The article presents a fragment of the large-scale international study aimed at investigating the Russians and Vietnamese self- and mutual perceptions embedded in language and culture. In order to discriminate the cultural difference in the content of the notions designated by the quasi-equivalent lexemes in the two languages, the authors attempt to analyze one of the common characteristics of Russian and Vietnamese “self-portraits”. The notion of hospitality (гостеприимство/hiếu khách) was examined using corpus data. The SketchEngine and two built-in web corpora, ruTenTen11 and VietnameseWaC, were utilized for automatic construction of thesauri of this notion. It was shown that the sets of semantic components that describe the studied lexical unit demonstrate certain degree of incongruity and provide additional information about Russian and Vietnamese “self-portraits” that include quasi-equivalent lexis.

The collection of articles The Synergy of Languages and Cultures: Interdisciplinary Studies is a peerreviewed scholarly publication. The collection includes papers from Russia, Belorussia, Vietnam and Japan. The collection reflects the position of modern linguists on the development of traditional problems of language and cross-cultural communication, the role of translation in the context of globalization, extensive information exchange, and the interaction of languages and cultures. The collection may also attract the attention of researchers in intercultural communication, language methodology, particularly the methods of teaching foreign languages for special purposes, and of a wider audience interested in modern trends in these areas.

“…On the opposite, they often focus on rural areas and the village (Connell, Dasgupta, Laishley and Lipton, 1976;Firebaugh, 1979;Korel, 1982;Arutyunyan, 1995;Chizhikov, 1999;Zegar, 2009;Grigoriev, 2010;Shkerin, 2012). A number of studies are devoted to the problem of internal migration, including rural-urban migration (Tarasova, 1995;Golovaschenko, 1996;Akhiezer, 2000;Mkrtchyan, 2003;Florinskaya, 2006;Nikiforov, 2007;Patsiorkovskii, 2010), etc. This paper, which is part of a series of articles devoted to the sociolinguistic studies of the city (Mymrina, Abdrashitova, 2015), focuses on the possible causes of rural-urban migration that is currently taking place in most of the countries, including Russia and China. Through the linguistic analysis, thus, by investigating the specific perception of the city and the village by Russian and Chinese young people, we aim to reveal the reasons for present-day youth migration from small towns and rural areas to big cities and megalopolises.…”

In the present-day society, the process of urbanization is often seen as one of the global tendencies that may bring about immense positive and negative changes in the lives of people. It appears that urbanization is largely associated with rural-urban migration, which may affect the economies of towns, cities, and rural areas globally. It tends to be that the youth are a significant part of this migration process. To better understand the problem, attempts have been made to investigate the factors responsible for the youth migration through revealing the attitude of the youth to modern city and village. This was done with the help of a free association experiment, focusing on similarities and differences in the city and the village perception by Russian and Chinese young people. As a result, specific socio-cultural factors and differences in the city and the village perception among the youth were revealed, some of the causes of the undergoing territorial and social transformations were identified, which may allow predicting the prospects of the city and the village development in future.
