The role of mass media in the processes of interpretation and assessment of various fragments of reality is discussed in the article. The problem of the entry of legal concepts into the media ...discourse is raised and the task is set to study the changes occurring in this process, which ultimately lead to the formation of new conceptual units — media concepts. The designated task is solved in the process of analyzing one of the key legal concepts LEGITIMACY. It has been demonstrated that the Russian mass media significantly modify each of the three components of the legal concept, that is, the media virus is “implanted” into the conceptual, figurative and value layers. It allows us to speak of three strategies of mediatization: definitional, metaphorical and evaluative. It is shown that the definitional strategy contributes to the emergence of new features in the conceptual layer of the LEGITIMACY concept (‘trust’, ‘approval’, ‘support’, ‘respect’, ‘fairness’, ‘the phenomenon of consciousness’ and ‘subjective feeling’). It is noted that the metaphorical strategy additionally forms such linguo-culturally specific features as ‘defectiveness’ and ‘object of political manipulation’, the evaluative strategy gives the positively perceived concept of LEGITIMACY a negative connotation (conceptual signs of ‘doubtfulness’ and ‘imaginary’ develop), which is an alarming marker reflecting the current situation in Russian society. It is pointed out that the recorded changes indicate the importance of the discursive factor in the study of concepts.
The article was accomplished at the intersection of such relevant areas of modern linguistics as political linguistics, linguistic personology and linguistic metaphorology. The purpose of the article ...is to provide an overview of the work of foreign and domestic linguists for 2009-2019, devoted to the analysis of metaphorical models in the idiolics of politicians, to identify the main trends in research of this kind. The analysis showed that linguistic-personal research on metaphorics in political communication is carried out in a cognitive, pragmatic, stylistic, rhetorical, semiotic, psycholinguistic perspectives. It was revealed that according to the criterion “object of analysis” they can be characterized in territorial, status, ideological, gender, chronological, temporal and comparative aspects. The analytical review presented in the article demonstrates that there is a research asymmetry in modern linguistic-political personology: the work on federal politicians predominates over the work on regional politicians, the work on representatives of the political elite over the work on political opposition, the work on male politicians over the work on politicians - women, work on existing politicians - on work on the great politicians of the past. The authors believe that due to the indicated asymmetry in the objects of research, the task of linguopolitical personology should be to fill in the existing gaps.
The humorous discourse is considered an important source of stereotypic images of the Russian regions. As it reflects territorial peculiarities and their inhabitants, reveals the attitude to various ...regions in the society, the linguistic analysis of regional stereotypes should become a starting point in the further formation of brands and images of regions. The jokes about Siberia are analyzed in the article and the stereotypic image of this region is reconstructed. Being based on content analysis and a framing method the study is aimed at presenting stereotypes about Siberia in the form of frames (knowledge structures) and their constituents (sub-frames and slots). It is stated that the stereotypic image of Siberia looks quiescent; the jokes reflect a deeply rooted conception of Siberia by residents of other regions of Russia and foreigners as a distant, huge area with severe climatic conditions, rich in natural resources, and an exile place of immigrants who are busy with hard work. Currently Siberia has got another stereotype and is perceived as an object of claims of some boarding countries. The stereotypic image of Siberia is depressive; the majority of regional characteristics that are reflected in jokes convey general negative comprehension. The revealed stereotypes point to necessity of creating a positive image of Siberia.
In accordance with the federal target program for the development of resorts in the North Caucasus, the Government of the Russian Federation announced its intention to build five more modern ...European-class ski resorts in the region over the next 10 years. Construction of complexes, including in the village of Veduchi (Chechen Republic is planned). In the territory of the "Veduchi" resort such dangerous exogenous processes as avalanches are largely developed. This work is devoted to engineering and hydrometeorological surveys for the object "Skiing infrastructure on the north-oriented slope of the Veduchi ASTRC", assessment of avalanche danger.
Offered article is devoted to a problem of studying of communicative repertoir of political scientists. The given problem is actual in connection with distinction of objectives which are pursued by ...politicians and political scientists, and as consequence, distinction of their communicative strategy and tactics used in professional work. A leading position a discourse of political scientists strategy and borrow tactics which have been directed on confirming of legality and illegality of political processes. The article describes the features of the implementation of delegitimizing strategies and tactics in the publications of one of the most authoritative Russian political scientists – Kirill Rogov. Delegitimization as macrostrategy is carried out through a number of private communicative strategy and tactics realizing them, in particular, T. van Leuven has allocated four basic ways of giving of illegality to actions of authority: it is 1) the link on authority; 2) an ethical assessment; 3) rationalization; 4) mythopoetics. All the listed strategy (though and with a different degree of rate) are used in Cyril Rogov’s publications. Results of research specify, that key, possessing the person attractiveness, as communicative tactics of delegitimization tactics of a moral assessment and tactics of analogy act tactics of the appeal to “impersonal” authority. As one of the main features of the argument of own positions Cyril Rogov actively uses the reference to realities of the Soviet epoch, spending thus analogy between events of the present and Stalin reprisals, and in such a way specifies on illegitimacy many political decisions and political events. In addition, all the delegitimizing strategies and tactics used by Kirill Rogov are distinguished by the variety of lexical and syntactic means used, as well as by their pronounced evaluativeness and metaphoricity.
The paper is devoted to the comparison of different approaches to parallel solution of 3D forward and inverse problems of airborne electromagnetic (EM) surveys when multidimensional processing of ...data obtained on large areas is needed. The mathematical models for the solution of 3D forward and inverse problems and different methods of their parallelization are considered. The results of numerical experiments for the airborne EM survey problem, which is typical of prospecting the kimberlite bodies in Eastern Siberia, are presented. It is shown that the combination of different techniques of parallelization in a distributed computational system, taking into account the specifics of the numerical schemes implementation for forward and inverse problems solution, makes it possible to achieve the speedup close to linear.
The paper presents a new approach to construction of complex geological models and generation of finite element meshes in order to perform 3D modeling and multidimensional processing of airborne ...geophysical data. The main principles of geological models construction are considered. They are based on defining geological models in terms of the subject field and take into account their main specifics: complex background media, curvilinear Earth surface relief and borders between the geological layers, complex shape of target objects, etc. We consider the necessary data structures and specifics of finite element mesh generation. The example of generation of the finite element mesh for a geological model typical of airborne geophysical surveys is shown.
The materials use in structures and calculations for buildings and structures in Russia is determined, inter alia, by the normative loads of snow cover on the construction site. An urgent task is to ...determine its significance for the unexplored areas. The results of determining the normative value of the snow cover weight and changes with the height of the snow weight terrain for the designed objects of the "Udokan" Mining and Metallurgical Combine at the altitudes from 600 to 2000 m are presented. To determine the estimated snow load on buildings and structures in the territory of the facility creation, we used the series of the water supply annual maximums in the snow cover obtained as a result of the snow-measuring route observations at high-altitude weather stations located close to the designed objects. Based on the data of weather stations, a regression linear model of the water supply dependence in the snow cover on the height above the sea level was built. The main calculation method for finding the coefficients of a linear equation is the least squares method. It was revealed that with an increase in the height above the sea level by 1 m, the water supply in the snow cover increases by about 0.1 mm.
