PALEOANTHROPOLOGICAL DATA OF LATE BRONZE AGE FINAL PERIOD FROM FOREST-STEPPE POVOLZHYE

А.А. Khokhlov

Anthropological literature contains rather scarce data on the physique of representatives of Late Bronze Age final period cultures in the steppes and forest-steppes of Eastern Europe, Zauralye, and Western Kazakhstan. The article deals with the material obtained in Volgo-Uralye forest-steppe area, which belongs to Suskanskaya and Ivanovskaya cultures. Craniological complexes are singled out to make it possible to determine distinct analogies and within certain limits to refer them to one or other archaeological culture. The hypothesis is that Suskansk traditions origin could be connected with Zauralye Alakul timberwork groups who were familiar with Andronovskaya cultures. These groups might perceive cultural novelties and then introduce them into native environment of Volgo-Uralye and western areas.

Key words: anthropology, physique type, archeological culture, craniological complex, cultural novelties.

IMPERIAL ARCHEOLOGICAL COMMISSION AND HOME ARCHEOLOGICAL FIELDWORK

I.A. Sorokina

The author of the article draws the conclusion that the principal contribution of the Imperial Archeological Commission to the archeological fieldwork resides in the necessity to recognize centralized regulation, to consistently pursue and promote setting it up since 1889.

It resulted in a carte blanche system that helped to preserve archeological legacy of Russia.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF COMPILING ENCYCLOPEDIC DICTIONARY OF BIBLICAL SET PHRASES

K.N. Dubrobina

Nowadays Biblical units catch interest both of humanitarian scholars and Russian-speaking people at large. One of the primary tasks is to make Biblical phrases well-known and popular, which entails quicker dictionary compiling process. There is a vital necessity to compile a new, comprehensive encyclopedia of Biblical phraseology. Such a dictionary includes recurrent Biblical set expressions that are expressive, emotional and evaluative, and have figurative meaning. Its primary goal is to supply each Biblical phrase with detailed information, linguistic one first and foremost.

Key words: Biblical set phrase, dictionaries of Biblical units, encyclopedic dictionary, primary goal, Biblical prototypes, Russian.

IMAGERY CATEGORY IN OLD RUSSIAN

I.B. Tazmina

The article considers imagery category in Old Russian as an independent lexico-semantic category reflecting general properties of lexical units. Lexico-semantic category is defined either as a unilateral semantic category or as a bilateral category with a plane of content and a plane of expression. Old Russian imagery category was bilateral. The plane of content was characterized by semantic duality and motivated meaning. The plane of expression presented the inner form of a word. Semantic duality and morpho-semantic structure of a word allowed imagery functioning in Old Russia.

Key words: Old Russian, imagery category, lexico-semantic category, semantic duality.

DATIVE, INSTRUMENTAL AND PREPOSITIONAL (LOCATIVE) NOUN PLURAL IN THE 17th C. INVENTORY BOOKS OF PSKOV-PECHORY MONASTERY

S.N. Romanenko

Old forms (37 lexical units out of 45) were dominant in Pskov regionalism of the 17th c. Nouns in instrumental plural tend to retain old inflections; on the other hand, there is an unusual influence of masculine and neuter nouns with *-a stem. It proves the ability of nouns of different stems to acquire new forms.

New dative and prepositional plural noun inflections were advanced by generalization of the inflectional vowel [a]: formerly nouns in the nominative and accusative plural had inflection - a.

17th c. documents (inventory books of Pskov-Pechory Monastery) recording Pskov regionalism give an insight into Russian language norm formation.

Key words: dative case, instrumental case, locative case, inventory books, Pskov-Pechoty momastery

SET EXPRESSION WITH THE COMPONENT "ROSE" IN RUSSIAN LYRICS (BASED ON V. KHODASEVICH)

E.A. Korshkova

In poetic speech the lexeme "rose" possesses a high phrase-making potential and is widely used as a symbolic basis for various phraseological semes. In V.Khodasevich's poetry set expressions with the component "rose" designate such abstract notions as love, human soul, old age, grief, Pushkin's poetic tradition, innermost ideas and dreams, reflections, death, and also poetic human names. Their special value for V.Khodasevich's world image lies in verbalization of basic concepts "love" and "death".

Key words: poetry, lexeme, phraseology, V. Khodasevich, abstract notion.

"REAL WORLD" TEXT MODELING (BASED ON HYPERBOLIC MEANING OF ADJECTIVES)

S.A. Tikhomirov

The article considers "real world" text modeling by the example of gradual-hyperbolic meaning of adjectives in lexico-grammatical and phraseological aspects. The basic means of hyperbolic expression in associative fields is the adjective with its special forms of comparison degrees. Affixation as gradation building means is also productive and is quite frequent among qualitative adjectives and adverbs. Fixed phrases with such connotative components as emotional, evaluative, and expressive also appear among hyperbolization means. The paper describes fixed phrases with spatial, temporal, and quantitative meaning expressed by nominal constructions, which participate in building up hyperbole.

Key words: text modeling, gradual-hyperbolic meaning, adjective, degrees of comparison, set phrases.

PHRASEOLOGICAL PHANTOMS

A.V. Zhukov

As phraseological subsystem of language is dynamic and has its core and periphery, along-side typical units there are ones with less pronounced features. The author gave such units a figurative name of "phraseological phantoms". They are quite often confused by researchers and dictionary compilers with true phraseological units due to their amorphous and ambiguous character.

Key words: phraseology, language subsystem, phraseological phantom, typical unit.

PUNCTUATION EXPRESSIVE FUNCTION IN CONJOINT CONSTRUCTIONS

T.L. Vaulina

The article deals with punctuation function as an important means of text arrangement, of text parts interconnection, of text expressiveness.

Key words: conjoint, conjoint constructions, punctuation marks, parceling, expressive function, actualization function

FROM COMPARISON TO IDIOM

L.I. Shvydkaya

The article is based on the assumption that comparison, as one of the principal properties of human cognition linking previous experience with the new one, can be regarded as the basis for designating new notions and respectively for the formation of new linguistic units.

E.V. Nichiporchik

Human factor finds manifold expression in building up axiological world image. Gender factor of the evaluation subject can appear relevant for evaluative definitions and is revealed through semantic, syntactic and pragmatic aspects of paremias. Their register factor, as the key one for their usage, accounts for the accent shift from the positive to the negative.

Axiological portrait of a woman through Italian and Russian paremias despite negative evaluation in the majority of definitions allows to see that, on the one hand, paremias are viable due to universal human values they proclaim, and, on the other hand, male unity in estimating female half of the humankind is not groundless, what with a considerable amount of identical qualifications.

Key words: paremia, paremia producer, evaluation subject, gender characteristics, evaluative qualifications.

Notwithstanding complicated social and economic conditions of the 20th c., North Altai ethnic minorities managed to retain considerable demographic potential.

Key words: demographic potential, North Altai, native ethnic groups, traditional behavior pattern.

FACTORS AFFECTING YAMAL NENETS POPULATION IN THE 20th — EARLY 21st CC.

Ye.A. Volzhanina

The 20th century gives evidence of ethno-demographic stability of Nenets population in Yamal-Nenets autonomy. Government measures, mainly better medical care, had a beneficial effect on the peoples of the North. Population growth considerably dropped during the late 40s — early 50s, in the 70s, and in the late 90s. Higher absolute population growth can be attributed to a large number of Nenets people in Yamal, their close-knit community in the small area with a traditionally nomadic way of life.
