"The study is dedicated to the analysis of the peculiarities of a child’s linguistic worldview and values formation through fairy tales. The aim of the study is to identify the linguistic units representing the nominative field of the concept «Jaqsylyq / goodness», on the material of fairy tales. The algorithm used by the authors to determine language units is based on the analysis of lexical, morphological, stylistic and textual levels that verbalize the concept in fairy tales. This approach is based on the integration of methods of cognitive and linguocognitive analysis and associative experiment. The research materials are the fairy tales from the book «Folk Tales of Kazakhstani People». Also, in the present research interrelationships of linguistics, cognitive linguistics and culture, different points of view of scientists on the term concept are considered. The description of the concept «Jaqsylyq / goodness» is based on the analysis of the dictionary entries that revealed its conceptual content as a whole. The concept was analyzed in fairytales, which allowed to see the reflection of national reality through language. The formation of the concept in the linguistic consciousness was revealed on the basis of the associative experiment with the concept «jaqsylyq/goodness» and on the results of the analysis of the vocabulary of 10–11 year-old schoolchildren. The results of the research work may be used in the field of cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics. "

This article describes the scientific activities of the great many-sided and talented people of two fraternal peoples, namely Kasym Tynystanov, the founder of Kyrgyz linguistics, and Akhmet Baitursynov, the founder of Kazakh linguistics. This article describes the contributions of these science communicators in shaping terminology. These scholars were among the first to develop a theory of terminology, in other words, to develop the basic principles of the system and methods of term formation, as they considered terminology as a separate field of linguistics. As a result, we see that many terms are that are actively used today in two languages (Kyrgyz and Kazakh) were penned by these two prominent people The article among the linguistic terminology makes the main focus on the morphological terminology.

This article is devoted to the study of the concepts of linguistic, verbal and communicative personality in linguistics, and highlights the differences between them. Language is at the same time a social and an individual phenomenon. Moreover, language belongs to both the individual and the plural. The sociality of language is defined by society, by individuals - as a product of the people, while the specificity of language is defined by one person, with an individual - as a product of some person.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The article maps the linguistic views on the common language users as non-experts in the field of linguistics and their ability to think reflectively and rationally about issues related to language. An overview of attitudes towards non-linguists is presented against the background of the development of linguistics, ranging from a structural understanding of language with an emphasis on standard language cultivation and linguistic prescription, through a sociolinguistic approach that emphasizes the role of the language user as a creator of the linguistic norm and its variation, to the view of folk linguistics and citizen linguistics, which examine how ordinary people in various forms of public communication present their opinions, beliefs, as well as their myths and ideologies about language. At the same time, the paper argues for the view that some folk knowledge and beliefs about language are not only incorrect or inaccurate, but, on the contrary, that they provide valuable information for linguistics about the background of language behaviour and language change. The material was drawn from the databases of Slovak linguistic journals and the specialized corpus of the journal Slovenská reč.

Full textAbstract:
The western scientific tradition has an exploitative, damaging history with Indigenous peoples and while not partaking in kidnapping and grave robbing, linguistics has been employed in justifying acts of genocide. Modern-day linguistics, notably within theoretical and documentary subdisciplines, takes an ahistorical and scientistic approach to its own relationship to Indigenous peoples and languages. The discipline does not acknowledge or engage with the problematic aspects of its history and current practices outside of discussions within sociolinguistics. This paper presents a case study of the relationship between linguistics and the Ojibwe people to demonstrate that it is essential for all linguists to address both their own positionality and the historical legacy of linguistics in their linguistic research. I offer several suggestions for how individuals and institutions may begin to address these issues in their research practices and in the norms of the discipline.

Full textAbstract:
The structuralist movement distinguished between the two types of linguistics: internal linguistics and external linguistics. This classification aimed at determining and naming clear distinctions between the factors in which the linguistic determination process is distributed in modern linguistics. There are internal factors, motivated by subjective principles, which are the fixed forces that direct and balance the language system at the same time. There are also external factors, more dynamic factors that direct the language system and control its change. According to the model adopted by the study, the external factors are confined to two groups: one relates to the expelling forces of the language, and the other relates to the attractive forces of the language. The importance of this determination lies in its display of an aspect of the law of equilibrium that governs the development of all languages. There are two opposing tendencies that direct the language in two contrasting paths: one of them tends the language toward disorder, and the other tends to stabilize it. This study adopted the attractive forces of language as its subject, detailing three external factors that had a major impact on steadying and stabilizing the language and in reducing the speed of change and disturbance. These factors were represented in three main institutions: the scientific domain, the cultural domain, and the political domain. The study concluded that these three domains or contexts have a prominent role in forcing speakers to adopt a unified linguistic identity that imposes a kind of stability on the language in use. All of them have contributed, with their hierarchical functions, after each other, in creating a safe environment that preserves the language’s balance and gives it a measure of relative stability in order to enable the language preserving its essential function, which is to remain a valid tool for communication between people.

Full textAbstract:
The overall aim of this article is to explain why researchers working in Systemic Functional Linguistics and Cognitive Linguistics would benefit from dialogue with people working in psycholinguistics, and with each other. After a brief introduction, the positions on cognition taken in the Sydney and Cardiff models of Systemic Functional Linguistics are reviewed and critiqued. I then assess the extent to which Cognitive Linguistics has honoured the ‘cognitive commitment’ which it claims to make. The following section examines compatibilities between Systemic Functional and Cognitive Linguistic approaches, first outlining existing work which combines Hallidayan and cognitive perspectives, then discussing other potential areas of contact between the two, and finally examining the Cardiff model in relation to Cognitive Linguistics. The final section presents a collaborative view, suggesting that the ultimate aim of functionally-oriented (including cognitive) linguistics should be to attempt to answer the question ‘How does the natural language user work?’, and pointing out that collaboration between proponents of different linguistic models, and between linguists and researchers in other disciplines which study language, is crucial to this enterprise. Suggestions are made for ways in which dialogue across the areas of Systemic Functional Linguistics, Cognitive Linguistics and psycholinguistics could contribute to such a project.

In recent years, it has become one of the urgent problems in linguistics to determine the linguistic landscape-image of the external world in the mind of the language speakers, based on the associative experiments conducted on the speakers of the language in a collective manner. In this direction, it is especially important to create an associative portrait of famous people of the society. In this article, the issue of studying the problem of associative portrait in linguistics was raised, the linguistic essence of the concept of associative portrait was revealed.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the emotionality and expressiveness of the scientific text, which is actively studied in world linguistics, and is now being adopted in Kazakh linguistics. The comprehensive linguistic analyses of the works of Kazakh scientists have been made to show the relevance of the topic. The analyzed works are written in the field of humanities telling the history of the nation, continuing the past and present of the people and raising our national spirit. In order to immediately observe the expressive style and emotional character of the words, the words are organized in the form of a table. In the course of linguistic analysis, the national cultural character of the Kazakh people is determined through emotional, expressive vocabulary, and on the basis of the cognitive nature of the proposed language units, the personal and linguistic features of the authors are discussed. It also looks at the current issues in modern Kazakh linguistics, identified in the analysis of the emotionality and expressiveness of scientific texts. As a result of the linguistic analysis, it was proved that emotional-expressive words found in works written in a scientific style contain information from the historical period.

Full textAbstract:
Political correctness is one of the key values of the American society that characterizes the distinguishing features of the national mentality. The ideas of political correctness are quite vividly represented in American English at the lexical, syntactic and communicative levels. The authors attempt to study the language implementation of the “People First” trend that emerged in the United States in the early 1990s, using the example of transformations in the field of medical terminology. Eliminating discrimination against people with physical and mental disabilities, rejecting expressions backed by negative stereotypes, are the main goals of the “People First” trend. The authors have analysed the background and history of this trend, and also described the lexical and syntactic features of euphemisms, which are the main tool of political correctness. An analysis of the materials of the meetings of the Commission on the Psychological Problems of Disability of the American Psychological Association made it possible to determine the list of the most “challenging” wordings and their “desirable” variants and to determine the peculiarities of lexical euphemization and complementary syntactic modifications. The study of political correctness as a social, cultural and linguistic phenomenon is relevant for modern linguistics and cultural linguistics, as it allows to get an idea of the English speakers’ mentality and world representation. The purpose of the paper is to describe linguistic features of euphemisms within the framework of medical terminology that appeared with the development of the “People First” trend, taking into account the recommendations of activists, doctors and psychologists. The use of methods of structural-syntactic, contextual, component, lexico-semantic analysis, as well as the method of continuous and cluster sampling made it possible to identify the special features of the implementation of the studied trend in language, culture and modern communication.

Full textAbstract:
The field of linguistics, the scientific study of human natural language, is a growing and exciting area of study, with an important impact on fields as diverse as education, anthropology, sociology, language teaching, cognitive psychology, philosophy, computer science, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, among others. Indeed, the last five fields cited, along with linguistics, are the key components of the field of cognitive science, the study of the structure and functioning of human cognitive processes. In spite of the importance of the field of linguistics, many people, even highly educated people, will tell you that they have only a vague idea of what the field is about. Some believe that a linguist is a person who speaks several languages fluently. What is linguistics, then? Fundamentally, the field is concerned with the nature of language and (linguistic) communication. It is apparent that people have been fascinated with language and communication for thousands of years, yet in many ways we are only beginning to understand the complex nature of this aspect of human life.

Full textAbstract:
The paper aims to return to the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure to examine the application of the structural linguistic terminologies in Lacanian psychoanalysis and the critique of ideology by Slavoj Žižek. First, the author examines Saussure’s structural linguistics terminologies in his book Course in General Linguistics. Then, the differences between its original definitions and their application in Lacanian psychoanalysis and the critique of the ideology of Slavoj Žižek are compared. The author found that although the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan used various linguistic terminologies that are initially from Saussure’s structural linguistics, he radically rewrote those concepts and perfectly “quilt” them into his theory of psychoanalysis. Besides, Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek carefully examined the Lacanian linguistic view and applied it to the critique of ideology. Indeed, many correlations between Lacanian linguistic terminologies and Saussure’s terminologies in his structural linguistics have been fully concerned by scholars around the world. Nevertheless, from the author’s point of view, it is essential for people nowadays who would like to examine contemporary philosophy deeply, psychoanalysis as well as the critique of ideology to return to Saussure’s book and carefully examine the original forms of the linguistic terms. Thus, this paper mainly focuses on the idea of Sassure’s structural linguistics to give readers some new inspiration by tracing the origin of structural linguistic terms.

The study of time in linguistics has far-reaching implications for our understanding of language, cognition, and culture in general. We can gain insight into how people perceive and communicate about time by unraveling the linguistic complexities underlying time expressions. In addition, this study contributes to the theoretical foundations of linguistics by providing a better understanding of the dynamic relationship between language and temporal concepts.

Full textAbstract:
This paper integrates methods associated with language socialization and pragmatics to examine how participants in one middle school dance program use the indefinitely referential language of ‘some people’ as a robust resource for socializing embodied competencies related to dance, linguistic competencies related to the ability to use ‘some people’ in indexically and pragmatically complex ways, cognitive competencies related to error-correction and problem-solving, and social-moral competencies related to responsibility-taking. A key argument is that the referential vagueness inherent in ‘some’ as an indefinite determiner contributes fundamentally to the usefulness of ‘some people’ as a language socialization resource in this community of practice.

Abstract While the college population in the United States is becoming increasingly diverse, few studies focus on the goal of linguistic justice in higher education teaching and learning-a critical factor in achieving all forms of social equity. I offer liberatory linguistics as a productive, unifying framework for the scholarship that will advance strategies for attaining linguistic justice. Emerging from the synthesis of various lived experiences, academic traditions, and methodological approaches, I illustrate how a structural ignorance of language justice affects the lived experiences of people across the world. I present findings from my work with Black undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty members as they endeavor to embed a justice framework throughout the study of language broadly conceived. I conclude by highlighting promising strategies that can improve current approaches to engaging with structural realities that impede linguistic justice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing coverage of transgender people in Latin American and Spanish media. However, there are very few research studies that thoroughly examine the increasing use of terms such as transgender “transgénero” and trans in Spanish-speaking press. This contribution studies the linguistic representation of transgender people in Spanish-speaking quality press produced in Colombia and Spain. Within the framework of Queer Linguistics and Corpus-based Discourse Analysis, this article explores the linguistic choices employed by the Spanish-speaking press to name transgender people and examines the main differences in the linguistic choices made by newspapers in the two countries. Unlike in English, the findings suggest that trans and transexual are the most commonly used labels in Spanish. Although the semantic categories of representation are seen to differ between the two countries, the linguistic choices observed seem to be closely linked to sociopolitical and ideological preferences.

This article analyses actual problems of cognitive linguistics, intensively developing linguistic direction since the 80s of the XX century. The study concisely conducted a scientific and theoretical analysis of cognitivism, the object of the study of which becomes the human mind, thinking and mental processes. The formation of a concept as a basic concept of cognitive linguistics is connected with cognitive activity, world perception of a person. The concept as a result of national linguo culture reflects national, spiritual and cultural values in the linguistic picture of the world of any ethnic group. It is noted that language is a manifestation of cognitive processes, “activity of the mind” is studied on the material of language i.e. language means. The article is devoted to the analysis of ethical concepts “good” and “evil” in the language consciousness of the Kyrgyz people. It is noted that the key tokens are good and evil. The study is conducted on the material of analysis of lexical meanings of linguistic units with morphemes: zhakshy, zhaman, Kyrgyz proverb, a passage from the Epic of Manas, consisting of opposition “good” and “evil”. The article briefly describes the essence of the philosophy of good and evil of the Kyrgyz people, which reflects humanistic ideas, moral and ethical, national values, ethnic peculiarities of mentality of the Kyrgyz people. In them, good stands for love, good, success, faith, hope, honor and dignity, a sense of duty, and evil is manifested in destruction, greedy profligacy, slyness, anger, etc. The study notes that the conceptual part of the structure of concepts “good” and “evil” is “multiple and complex, as they use figurative expressions, which include purely personal perception, linguistic mentality and means of artistic expression. It has been determined that the moral and ethical concepts of “good” and “evil” are a neglected topic in Kyrgyz linguistics. They have a special place in the linguistic consciousness of the Kyrgyz people and require further in-depth study.

History of the Development of the Theory of Linguistics Summary The origin and development history of linguistic theory is reflected in the article. Here is also brief information about the emergence of linguistics and schools of linguistics since ancient times. The history of linguistics has developed through historical stages such as Indian linguistics, Greek linguistics, Roman linguistics, and Arabic linguistics until modern times. Linguistics examines and studies all parts of language, including its units, nature, structure, and change over time. This term was first used in 1829. In general, linguistics studies language and means of communication between people. The theoretical part of this field includes very important and diverse concepts that answer questions such as the origin and purpose of language creation, language characteristics, the process of language learning, language changes, and the role of language in human personality. In the practical part, the analysis of sentence structure, the role of words, semantics, the formation of sounds, language disorders, etc. is being investigated. Key words: history of linguistics, science of linguistics, Indian linguistics, Greek linguistics, Roman linguistics, historical linguistics, applied linguistics

The article attempts to evaluate Farley Mowat's People of the Deer in terms of style and stylistic perspectives. Mowat (1921- 2014) is a well-known Canadian author. In the usage of the language resource, he has exhibited an excellent degree of competency. His styles of writing were an autobiographical fashion. With regard to linguistic and literary styles, the study examined style and stylistic trends. The researcher suggests that the study would be helpful for the students of linguistics and literature in the future. This study will not provide a detailed description of all stylistic devices; rather, it will provide a picture of the traditional flouted as well as variations that Mowat has introduced. Style, Stylistics, Alliteration, Repetition, Collocation, and so on are all examples of major literary and linguistic stylistics.

The article is aimed at defining cognitive concepts and principles in Kazakh linguistics based on research papers that measure the nature of the language and the semantics of the word in the context of their functioning. The analysis of the conceptual system and cognitive paradigm in the cognitive theory of the Kazakh language is becoming an urgent problem of modern interdisciplinary science with the national identity and world practice. The cognitive theory, which originates from the spiritual and value heritage of the Kazakh people harmoniously combined the foundations of linguistic cognition, and also substantiated a wide conceptual block of the human capital’s cognition. Its complex patterns contributed to the accumulation of social, psychological, ethnic and cultural methodological foundations of normalized general and private linguistics. The possibility of comparing linguistic universals using the relationship between language and cognition also characterized the influence of anthropological, axiological, anthropo-typological, areal, and geneological factors. Thus, in the history of cognitive linguistics, which studies the laws of the environment and its linguistic picture, Kazakh linguistics has designated its research format, taking into account a number of conceptual operations.

With regard to orientation and examining the functional values of linguistic elements the Prague School of Linguistics is known as the School of Functional Linguistics. Functional linguists derived their advanced theoretical postulates from the famous Kazan school that was founded by two eminent Polish citizens, Jan Baudouin de Courtenay and his disciple Nikolaj Kruszewski. The representatives of this School defined the differences between evolutionary character of linguistic facts and their identification in a certain time section. The ideas of this linguistic circle spread to the USA, and even further. They claimed that language should be studied universally, first synchronically and then diachronically. They stood for the study of language from all aspects: scientific standard and journalese language. Their special attention was paid to the forms of spoken and written language. Functional linguists considered language to be a system of functionally connected items. A strong influence of Ferdinand de Saussure is reflected here as well as the distribution to phonetic and phonological analysis of sounds where phonemes are broken down to distinctive features. They believe that for correct understanding of a language system it is necessary to explain the history of a language. This view is against Saussure’s commitment to synchronic description. Prague linguists considered linguistic phenomena coherently, they discovered many problems of language seen as a means of communication among people. From the middle of XX century linguists started to develop the ideas of the Prague Linguistics School paying great attention to syntax, semantics and stylistics of English and Slavic languages. The Prague School deserves credits for formulating the theory of functional sentence perspective that analyses a sentence as a unity of functionally contrastive constituents. For all this the Prague School is a leading linguistics school in the world.

This study concludes that Wolio proverb as an educational medium has five important functions in the social life of Wolio people, namely as a means to: (1) teach linguistic knowledge, (2) train the performance of Wolio young people in speaking, (3) instill values wisdom for young people, (4) controlling young people's behavior to conform to agreed norms, and (5) educating Wolio youths to own and uphold their life principles. From these findings, this study confirms that proverbs are a good educational medium because they contain linguistic knowledge and positive cultural values so that they must be kept and preserved by their supporting communities. The role of the government is very important to support the preservation of this proverb.

Full textAbstract:
Metaphors are everywhere in peoples daily life, and one way to make abstract cognitive systems visualizable is by looking at the language people are using. Language is used as a tool or medium to surface abstract things with figurative concepts or to express two different concepts with a new expression, which is widely used by linguists and people in daily life. Meanwhile, we communicate or express ideas through implicit metaphors in language that also relate to our environment, our own body or mental state, and some linguistic metaphors overlap in different languages. The purpose of the present review is to comparatively analyze several languages and use the view of conceptual linguistics to summarize the relationship between peoples cognitive activity and conceptual metaphor in different language systems, including Chinese, English, and Uzbek, and in a different context, including the social environment.

The article shows that each person belongs to a certain national culture, including national traditions, language, history, and literature. Economic, cultural, and scientific contacts of countries and their peoples make relevant the topics related to the study of intercultural communication, the relationship of languages and cultures, and the study of linguistic personality. The author presents Cultural Linguistics as coming from the spirit of the language or from certain phenomena associated with the linguistic mentality, as well as studies nationally and culturally specific rules for the organization of language/culture. The main conclusion of the article is that the main purpose of culture is to be a means of spiritual enrichment of the individual. A person plunges into the "world of culture", mastering many languages specific to material and spiritual culture. The national character of culture presupposes the interaction of languages and cultures of different peoples and their mutual enrichment to a holistic "basic foundation" - world culture, the achievement of all humankind. Culture as a creation of the people is the unity of the national (specific) and the general (international).

Human beings need language as their communication because language as the branch of linguistic. When all people speak in a communication is a process and then, there must be both sender and receiver. Sometimes, all people only talk interaction not only directly interact and something more meaningless. In the branch of linguistics, semantic is the study about all the aspects of meaning outside the grammatical of language which different with morphology and syntax that concern with grammatical of language. In this paper, the writer interest to discuss about semantic analysis on lexical in Pujakesuma because semantics is one of the important aspect in linguistics and lexical of Javanese society nomads in Sumatera Utara (Pujakesuma) is also have different meaning to be analyzed.

The topical question in modern linguistics is the study of the peculiarities of particular writer’s linguistic worldview. Research on these questions allows us to determine the nature of the interaction between the subjects of the author-reader dialogue and to highlight the role of linguistic means as suggestive in this dialogue. The basic operating unit used in exploring writer’s worldview is the concept. In the article, the concept is interpreted as the operational content unit of memory, the mental lexicon, the conceptual system of the brain, the whole worldview, as reflected by the human psyche. The analysis of the features of verbalization of the concept becomes especially important in the study of poetic texts, because it is in them that the richness of words is manifested. In Oleksii Dovhiy’s poetic language one of the most pronounced is the concept PEOPLE. In the lyric hero’s linguistic worldview this concept is expressed by tokens that are involved in the creation of such concepts-images of the people as people-laborer, people-hero, in the other – people-victims and people-destroyers. Each of these images in a poetic context actualizes the corresponding feature. We can speak of the explication of the signs “hard working”, “peaceful”, “heroic”, “kind and sincere”, “tragic”. In some poetic contexts, the verbalization of the positive and negative attributes of the analyzed image helps the poet to artfully portray the social layers of the people.

A large-scale study of linguistic problems from the point of view of comparative linguistics and linguistic translation poses new common challenges for the science of the 21st century. One such problem is the study of translated texts from an anthropocentric position. Anthropocentric study of translated texts means showing the uniqueness of a particular people. In this article, research work on phraseology, formed on the basis of a comparative model, and, therefore, "similarities" in a particular language and culture, reflect the way of thinking and imagination of this people in the texts of the Uzbek-Korean and Korean-Uzbek translation. Linguistic and cultural comparative study of "phraseology" - one of the most important aspects of the topic.

Abstract Esperanto is an unusual language in many ways. First, it was originally created artificially, in a highly multilingual environment. Secondly, it was designed with the express purpose of becoming a language of interlingual communication, a language easy to learn for people from the widest range of linguistic backgrounds. Although it never became a universal lingua franca, Esperanto now has up to 2 million users and a sizeable number of native speakers. Yet even for such native speakers, Esperanto is never their only language. Its use is limited to certain domains, and for the overwhelming majority of its speakers, including native ones, Esperanto is not their dominant language. These facts may make Esperanto and Esperanto speakers useful in tests of the robustness of generalizations about linguistic typology, Universal Grammar, first and second language acquisition, language contact and creolization, variation and change. This article provides an overview of work that has been done to date on these topics.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, one of the most pressing issues in linguistics has been the determination of the linguistic landscape image of the external world as perceived by language speakers. This endeavour is primarily pursued through associative experiments conducted collectively among speakers of a language. Such experiments aim to uncover how individuals mentally map and interpret the world around them through language. A crucial aspect of this research involves creating associative portraits of notable individuals within society. These portraits help in understanding how famous people are collectively perceived and represented linguistically by different groups of speakers. In this context, the current article delves into the problem of studying associative portraits within the field of linguistics. It explores the methodologies used in these associative experiments, discusses the importance of these portraits in capturing societal perceptions, and elucidates the underlying linguistic principles that define the concept of the associative portrait. By doing so, the article aims to reveal the linguistic essence of associative portraits, offering insights into how language shapes and reflects our understanding of prominent figures in society.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract 1Understanding social justice as it relates to linguistic discrimination and identity requires consideration of both production and perception. As linguists and cognitive psychologists become more attuned to talking about social justice, the need to discuss linguistic human behaviors through a sociocognitive lens becomes more pertinent than ever. This article offers a sociocognitive approach to linguistic analysis as a means to combat linguistic discrimination in the pursuit of social justice. Having negative ideologies about a particular group of people, especially a minoritized group, influences linguistic prediction and perceptions. Together, sociolinguistic and psychological methodologies are necessary to navigate a world in which people use linguistic knowledge to make decisions and predictions about their interlocutors. I use sociocognitive approaches as vehicles for social justice, centering African American English and Anti-Black Racism. The limited existing sociocognitive linguistic research indicates that listeners may modulate their linguistic expectations during cognitive processing based on speaker identity and stereotypes of speakers. As linguistic discrimination is ever-present in U.S. society, in addition to describing sociocognitive solutions, this article also represents a call to action for researchers to empirically test ideological claims about linguistic varieties that are passively accepted, strengthen replicability, and broaden approaches to the study of minoritized varieties more generally. Hopefully, this article will inspire linguistics researchers to consider all factors, cognitive and social, related to linguistic perception, further contributing to a greater understanding of how to combat linguistic discrimination from a multidimensional frame.

The diversity of social gender has been growing recently, and gender is the hot social issue that has the public concerned. Language is a communication tool people use every day, and meanwhile, which also subtly influences a persons mind. This paper discusses social gender issues from a linguistic point of view, trying to figure out if there are any relations between them. People use language to express their thoughts about social and gender issues, so it is important to explore the relationship. To explore the relationship, this paper discusses gender bias in language, the possible reason for this phenomenon, and the effect of linguistic gender binary on non-binary gender. There are lots of papers which discuss these related issues that have greatly inspired and provided strong help to the author. There are some findings from the study: 1) Gender bias is more serious in grammatical gender languages; 2) Linguistic gender subtly influences peoples minds by shaping their hobbits and making their cognitive world in a more gender-related way. 3) The linguistic gender binary causes problems for transgender people. It has been discovered that linguistic gender has an adverse effect on social gender equality. This paper may help improve the gender equality situation in society and transgender people's self-expression problems. This paper also provides a way to think about grammatical gender in languages.

How do people describe events they have witnessed? What role does linguistic aspect play in this process? To provide answers to these questions, we conducted an experiment on aspectual framing. In our task, people were asked to view videotaped vehicular accidents and to describe what happened (perfective framing) or what was happening (imperfective framing). Our analyses of speech and gesture in retellings show that the form of aspect used in the question differentially influenced the way people conceptualized and described actions. Questions framed with imperfective aspect resulted in more motion verbs (e.g. driving), more reckless language (e.g. speeding), and more iconic gestures (e.g. path gesture away from the body to show travel direction) than did questions framed with perfective aspect. Our research contributes novel insights on aspect and the construal of events, and on the semantic potency of aspect in leading questions. The findings are consistent with core assumptions in cognitive linguistics, including the proposal that linguistic meaning, including grammatical meaning, is dynamic and grounded in perceptual and cognitive experience.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of eco-linguistics is a result of the advances in human ecology where interdependencies among different systems (including economic, social, religious, cultural, linguistic, and ecological) are highlighted and explored rather than ignored. Even more importantly, eco-linguistics has been drawing great interest because the consequences of ignoring the ecological embedding of humans are becoming more and more clear. Linguistics inevitably affects many other hermeneutical approaches in diverse fields, including biblical studies. Within this context, language ecology, “the study of interactions between any given language and its environment” (Einar Haugen, 1972), is primarily determined by the people who learn that language, use it, and transmit it to others. This article aims to investigate the connection of language to the notion of “growthism” and how this functions in a specific biblical narrative. Mark 4.26-32 will be examined under an eco-linguistic lens to arrive at a more “eco-friendly” understanding of the passage, as well as potential implications for translation.

Abstract: The term linguistic emancipation embraces various interpretations. One relates to occasions where linguists have helped people overcome problems that are attributable to various linguistic calamities. Another pertinent vector relates to methodological innovations that extricate linguistic research from methodological confinement and that embrace new technologies to help advance our collective scientific mission. These alternative perspectives are illustrated here in small measure through studies of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and gender modification in the speech of a trans woman. The legacy of inventive methodological advances in linguistics is celebrated by emphasizing some liberating linguistic research trajectories in which experimental, self-generated data and descriptive investigations of endangered and underrepresented languages or dialects stand side by side, serving a comprehensive linguistic science in which alternative analytical procedures abound in harmonious complementarity.

This study investigated written language in the form of personal and formal letters written by 10 people who sustained a stroke and 10 people who sustained traumatic brain injury, and compared their performance with 15 non brain-damaged people. In order to explore the writing skills of these individuals from a socio-cultural perspective, a functional linguistic theory, Systemic Functional Linguistics, was adopted as the framework for analysis. Features of grammatical complexity were examined to ascertain the differential demands of the two text types on the writers’ language resources, and the impact of stroke and traumatic brain injury on participants’ writing abilities. Results of the analysis revealed patterns of both strength and deficit in the groups with acquired brain impairment. Variation as a feature of ‘disordered’ and ‘normal’ performance is highlighted and clinical implications discussed.

This article deals with the development of ecological linguistics as a new object of study in modern linguistics. It examines the peculiarities of language research approaches as an instrument of harmonious lifestyle of the people as well as an important means of social contact in the international research. The anthropocentric and eco-centric lines may be distinguished as competitive modes in the development of modern humanitarian sciences for the reason that they introduce different approaches to investigating processes and results of human activity. The subject of ecolinguistics is the interaction between language, man as a linguistic person and his environment. Language is considered as an integral component of the chain of relationships between man, society and nature. Special attention is paid to the notion “meaning” from the point of view of ecological linguistics. It is stressed that meaning is the link connecting the representations of interaction with the verbal and non-verbal objects in the mind of the person.

The work reported here primarily aims to realize the automatic generation of couplets using the linguistic topology of deep neural network (DNN). First, the symmetry, topology, and cognitive linguistics of language are explored to lay a theoretical foundation for subsequent model establishment and analysis. Then, the recurrent neural network (RNN) is employed to build the Seq2Seq model, and Liweng’s Guide to Rhyme (an ancient Chinese enlightenment reading material to poetry creation) is imported into the Seq2Seq model as a basic corpus. Eventually, the entire system is implemented automatically on TensorFlow. The system undergoes tests of the five-character quatrain, the seven-character quatrain, the couplet, and the part-of-speech detection. Results demonstrate that both the first and the second lines of the couplet present an excellent correspondence regarding sentences and words. After some famous verses are entered, the second line of the couplet obtained is quite vivid and appropriate. Meanwhile, the results can be generated quickly and meet the requirements on rhyme and couplet matching. This model can input verses according to users’ own needs and generate the second line of the couplet quickly, showing good correspondence in words, part-of-speech, and sentence pattern. Because the couplet belongs to Chinese traditional culture, it has a strong local Chinese cultural flavor. The system designed based on computer technology can help people learn and experience the charm of couplets.

Grammar and DaF: grammar and Teaching German or links between linguistics and German Teaching
In foreign language teaching as in other subjects, several disciplines can be used (sometimes unconsciously), especially those called "neighboring disciplines" of Linguistics: here we are talking about psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, contrastive linguistics, linguistic geography or dialectology, narrative and textual linguistics, language learning strategies and techniques and language didactics. The aim in this paper is to show the relationships or existing relationships between these different disciplines in a grammatical context or in other words: to show the existing relationships between Linguistics and foreign language teaching through grammar while evoking some links with learning strategies and techniques. Didactics for young people and for younger learners should not be too different from that for adults, when it comes to the system. The main goal of any mediation of system is to make possible correct analogies and to avoid false analogies. This is possible for a first time with a reduced grammar and a minimum vocabulary (lexicon).

TWO VIEWS OF GRAMMARFor many years, many people have used the term ‘grammar’ to indicate something which represents an individual's mature linguistic capacity and which arises in the mind/brain of that individual on exposure to some relevant childhood experience. The grammar interacts with other aspects of a person's mental make-up, in a modular conception of mind. Different experiences may give rise to different grammars in different individuals, but it is a plausible initial assumption that grammars arise in everybody in the same way, subject to the same principles, parameters and learning constraints, which are common to the species. This is a biological view of grammars. Countless questions arise about these grammars, about their internal properties, about how they are represented in brains, about how they emerge in young children. Under this view there is no grammar of English, rather various grammars which exist in the minds of English speakers; grammars hold of people and not of languages. Let us distinguish terminology from reality here: proponents of the biological view of grammars sometimes use ‘the grammar of French’ to refer to the grammars of French speakers in a kind of shorthand which abstracts away from individual variation. This usage may have been misleading but, as noted in Lightfoot (1991, henceforth HSP, 162), it is comparable to references to the French liver, the American brain, or the Irish wit; nobody believes that there is such an entity but sometimes it is a convenient abstraction.
