Key words: structural and semantic characteristics of conflict discourse, cognitive dissonance, cognitive base of speakers

 We deal with the structure and semantic characteristics of a conflict discourse that is why suggest to have a look at different aspects of it which are to elicit a cognitive base of. Our analyses show that conflict interaction can appear when the collision of speakers’ basic concepts takes place and the cognitive dissonance, which has got universal character in any age groups of speakers, can appear as a result of destruction of both cognitive limits for organizing the discourse information and its pragmatic principles. The possibility of the cognitive dissonance overcoming can be found if both speakers are ready to sort out the conflict communicative situation.

Key words: separable and inseparable verbal composites, prefixes, initial verbal elements, contemporary literary German, variation

 The article provides arguments in support of terminological distinction of the notions "prefixes" and "initial verbal elements of verbal composites" in contemporary literary German. The specific features of the stability / instability of verbal composites are discovered, the distinction factors of both groups of verbal composites are determined, the homograph pairs are examined, which make up a problem area for the learners of German. Due to the system approach used by the authors while studying this phenomenon, the common principles and objective laws of the separable and inseparable verbal composites in modern German language are being revealed.

THE USE OF CORPORA PARALLEL TEXTS AS A METHOD OF TRANSLATION STUDIES FOR STUDENTS OF NON-LINGUISTIC SPECIALIZATION
ID:  0421200038\XXXX

Key words: translation comparative analysis, corpus of texts, parallel texts, finite and non-finite forms, aspect, voice, mood, cognitive operations, academic skills

  The article looks upon the use of corpora parallel texts and states that such practices may represent a highly effective way of teaching non-linguistic students. The author states that translation is a stimulus for the development of a language personality as it influences pragmatic, cognitive, professional, utility, social, cultural and academic skills. The principle of comparison is highly significant for selection of grammar phenomena in translation studies. Functionality of these grammar phenomena is a fundamental issue for the quality of translation practices. The verb as a predicate allows a native speaker to express the changes and trends in the mental picture of the world perceived in his own perspective. Thus, adequacy in translating verb forms helps the translator understand the source language better. Corpus studies indicate that in case of English-Russian translation finite forms with their categories of voice, mood and aspect should be interpreted as functional units of speech. Non-finite forms, namely the infinitive, the gerund and the participle, as well as their complexes, are also seen as departing points between the two cultures. An analysis of parallel texts is conducted and conclusions are made about how adequate translations are and which translation techniques are used for each particular grammar phenomenon. The article indicates that translation is not a form of art, but a science as it requires knowledge of grammar rules and skills typical for academic research. Translation practice coincides with the principles of cognition, i.e. search for causes, comparisons, common and additional properties. The translation practice is based on such cognitive operations as analysis, contrast, synthesis, induction and deduction.

POSITION ANALYSIS METHOD AS A MEASUREMENT WAY OF A SPACE-TIME WITHIN THE TEXT
ID: 0421200038\XXXX

Key words: text, text structure, position analysis, linguosynergy, metrorythmic matrix, proportion of golden ratio

 The modern linguistics of the text is characterized by establishing of cross-disciplinary relations with sciences of a natural-science cycle that has led to emergence of the new direction of the text structure research – linguosynergy. linguosynergy is a young scientific branch considering structure of the text as non-equilibrium steady condition of a system and the process capable to move and be reconstructed in the environment. In modern conditions of a language science development the keen interest is in multifaceted text researches that is why the knowledge systematization of structural features of this language reality is really up-to-date. An object of research is the text and it is considered as result of the synergetic process found in its structure. General-logical methods and techniques of a research, such as analysis, induction, modeling, generalization and structurization of scientific information are used in this work. The practical value of this work consists in an application possibility of the main article conclusions while modeling the texts differing in organized structure and hierarchy of certain semantic blocks. The author comes to a conclusion that the structural organization of the text differs in accurate hierarchy of strong and weak positions. "Measurement" of the text structure has become possible thanks to a method of the position analysis with the basis of golden ratio proportion. The superconstruct received as a result of this method application allows to compare all texts irrespective of their volume, genre and stylistic peculiarities, authorship and other characteristics.
