Introduction. The article is devoted to the phenomenon of modern Chinese theater and aims to explore the ways of its evolution – from imitation of European avant-garde forms of theatrical art to the formation of an original artistic language. An important goal is also to identify the factors that have determined the unique aesthetic and meaningful characteristics of modern Chinese theater.

Methodology and sources. As a result of the application of the comparative analysis method, the article compares the theatrical concepts of Ibsen, Stanislavsky and Brecht, which influenced the image of modern Chinese theater.

Result and discussion. The special role of the European theatrical avant-garde is shown, namely, the concept of Brecht's dialectical drama, which became widespread in China at the end of the XX century. Over a twenty-year period (from 1959 to 1979), three so-called «Brecht booms» took place in China, radically transforming Chinese traditional theater. However, despite the high popularity of Brecht's ideas, the Chinese Theater did not turn into a literal translator of the European avant-garde, but formed its own artistic style based on traditional structures of audience perception. The key role in this process was played by the national cultural context – socio-political and mental – which determined the specific forms of adaptation of the cultural meanings of the European theater. The history of Chinese avant-garde theater lasts for more than forty years and began in the early 1980s. After experiencing a period of direct borrowing, Chinese theatrical figures came to rethink the European heritage in the context of their own culture. As a result, it was the middle path of Chinese theater development that turned out to be the most productive – a path that absorbed the outstanding artistic ideas of Stanislavsky and Brecht, the modern Western avant-garde, but also without rejecting traditional artistic principles. This is how Chinese theatrical culture has developed with its own unique style.

Conclusion. The 20th century became the era of the interchange of Eastern and Western theatrical traditions, which largely shaped the world cultural landscape, in which the interaction of Brecht's theory and traditional Chinese culture forms a special topos.

Introduction. The problem of incomplete coincidence of views of K. Marx and F. Engels has long been raised in marxology. On this topic, D. McLellan, M. Ryubel, K.N. Lubutin and P.N. Kondrashov spoke. However, they were limited to political economy and ontology. We will discuss the views of classics on the origin of private property and the state.

Methodology and sources. In this article the textual analysis of the works «Origin of family, private property and state» by F. Engels and «Forms preceding capitalist production» and «Manuscripts of 1844» by K. Marx is taken. The author a dopts a historical-comparative approach, combining the ideas of the classics with those of later Marxist schools.

Results and discussion. F. Engels explains the appearance of the state by class contradictions. However, it does not distinguish the concept of «class» from the concept of «estate» and ignores the fact that in the pre-capitalist era an individual opposed another individual as a representative of a community that provided a certain standard of living. In a paragraph entitled «Forms Preceding Capitalist Production» in the «Economic Manuscripts of 1857–1861», K. Marx describes how the state emerged as an organizer of forced community works. This coercion was determined not by socio-political factors but by natural factors. Labor created not only a social product, but also the very relationship of domination. We show the semantic connection of this concept with that which was embodied K. Marx in «Economical-philosophical manuscripts of 1844».

Conclusion. In classical Marxism there is no unified concept of the origin of the state and private property; the concepts of K. Marx and F. Engels differ from each other in the interpretation of the role of labor in this process. F. Engels attributes a passive role to labor. For K. Marx, the role of labor is active: labor itself creates its opposite, private property, and with it the state, which arises and exists due to the limitations of labor.

Introduction. The article concerns the problem of digital technologies influence on political processes. The main goal of the paper is clarification of trends and perspectives of digital technologies in their application to political practice.

Methodology and sources. Paper’s main approach is analysis of contemporary trends in artificial intelligence in context of political practices. Modern applications of AI-technologies in political practices examined on works of S. Russel and P. Norvig.

Results and discussion. Analysis of trends in digital technologies application in political process shows that it could be distinguished three stages in transformation of politicalpractices. On the first stage analogous technologies are dominated despite those digital technologies exist and apply widely in human lives. On the second stage digital technologies are widely applied by politicians but citizens couldn’t actively influence in political process. The third stage make internet users true actors of political practices. On the same stage artificial intelligence systems concerned to big data is vigorously introduced in politics. Contemporary political systems in many ways based on success in AI-technologies however there is no full confidence in such a success in near future. Mass introduction of AItechnologies in politics has also negative influence on labor relations in society.

Conclusion. Review of digital technologies application in political practice shows positive trends as well as negative ones. The answer on question how minimize negative effect of degradation of labor relations is still to be found.

Introduction. The relevance of studying national diasporas in Russia is due to the intensification of ethno-confessional contradictions in the near abroad and the expansion of migration flows. The importance of the issues of adaptation and integration of migrants within the framework of established regional societies increases, a certain conflict potential within diasporas is fixed. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that the data of the sociological study of the Armenian Diaspora for 2023 was introduced into scientific circulation. The purpose of the article is to describe the  sociocultural portrait of the Armenian Diaspora in the conditions of a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional region (Republic of Mordovia).

Methodology and sources. The genre of the sociological portrait in the framework of the study of society involves a comprehensive description of society, a systematic analysis of its basic characteristics. The authors compiled a sociocultural portrait of the Armenian diaspora, and at the same time emphasized the problems of adaptation and integration of Armenians into the multiethnic space of the region.

Results and discussion. The primary data were the results of two waves of sociological research in 2017 and 2023, conducted by employees of the State Institution of the Republic of Moldova «Scientific Center for Socio-Economic Monitoring». 185 respondents were interviewed in 2017 and 285 in 2023. The sample is targeted, the recruitment of respondents was carried out through regional diaspora networks, as well as by the «snowball» method. As a result, the features of the settlement of the Armenian Diaspora, employment and labor practices are identified. The article characterizes the ethnic and confessional attitudes of the diaspora, and also reveals the specifics of social identity and linguistic attitudes.

Conclusion. The socio-cultural portrait of the Armenian Diaspora in Mordovia is quite static and differs in already formed features. The social well-being of Armenians in Mordovia is generally positive. Positive assessments prevail in the perception of the financial situation, relations with the local society, and respect for their rights. The integration processes taking place in the Armenian Diaspora are characterized by a high degree of expression and positive dynamics, but do not imply complete assimilation. Integration occurs with varying degrees of intensity in specific areas of everyday life, such as economic, social, cultural and political.

Introduction. The relevance of the topic is due to the following contradiction. According to comparative international studies, in a number of developed countries there is a decline in the interest of young people in scientific activities. In this regard, Russia is an exception, since young Russians are more loyal to science than, for example, their peers in Europe and highly value the impact of scientific achievements on society. At the same time, the problem of «worn-out» scientific personnel in Russia has not been completely resolved. The aging process has slowed down, but it is too early to talk about a massive influx of young personnel into science. Against the background of this contradiction, the authors put forward hypotheses about the lack of involvement of engineering students in scientific research and the dissatisfaction of representatives of the digital generation with the formats of scientific communication that they encounter.

Methodology and sources. To develop the research methodology, the authors relied on the concept of the influence of the university on the student (E. Pascarella, P. Terenzini); the theory of the determination of student success by its academic and social integration into various spheres of university life (V. Tinto). To clarify the concept of «scientific communication» the authors turned to the conceptual model of M. Buki and B. Trench, which differentiates the channels and methods of public access to scientific information.

Results and discussion. The purpose of the study was to determine the degree of student involvement in the scientific activities of the university and to analyze the conditions for the formation of communication strategies that promote involvement. Students of 1–3 years of bachelor's degree in technical specialties (N = 304) participated in the research.

Conclusion. The following results were obtained. Firstly, although students view science as a highly significant activity, they do not recognize it as a model of their professional identity. Secondly, although science is of interest to many respondents, it remains at the level of plans, not action. Respondents see an obstacle to this in their own lack of confidence in their scientific and technical training. Third, research has identified communication strategies that both arouse interest in science and provide students with a sense of progress in mastering research competencies.

Introduction. The social policy of the Russian state is aimed at involving socially vulnerable groups of the population in all spheres of social life. One of the most important mechanisms of social inclusion is the formation of a positive image of people with disabilities in modern Russian media. Studying the features of the representation of people with disabilities in various types of media will form the basis for their future sociological monitoring and the creation of a positive image of people with disabilities in Russian society.

Methodology and sources. The methodological basis of the study is the works of Russian and foreign sociologists devoted to the problems of social inclusion of people with disabilities. An integrative and inclusive approach is substantiated to ensure a transition from solving situational problems to the comprehensive implementation of inclusive practices for people with disabilities. The main research method is qualitative content analysis of articles from federal media and social media.

Results and discussion. The conducted research and comparison of its results with a previously performed analysis of the representation of people with disabilities in the federal media made it possible to identify the main features of the formation of a positive image of people with disabilities in social media in accordance with the principles of social inclusion. In social media, the image of people with disabilities, more often than in traditional media, is constructed through the stories of individual representatives of this social group, a description of their life and everyday life. Such an approach, according to the authors, is a more effective tool for the social inclusion of people with disabilities than materials about the social group as a whole and the benefits provided to them, which more often appear in traditional media. Also, a special approach requires studying the comments under the main materials, which are the main difference between social media and traditional media.

Conclusion. Based on the author's comparative research, conclusions are drawn about differences in the representation of people with disabilities in traditional media and social media. Based on these findings, directions for improving the activities of Russian media in creating a positive image of people with disabilities are formulated, and recommendations for further study of the representation of people with disabilities in the media are presented.

Introduction. A national project is a strategic plan for the development of the country in any specific area, adopted for a certain period, including target indicators, tasks necessary for implementation to achieve them, designation of methods and means of achieving goals, implying financing in the required amount. In Russian political practice, national projects in their content are primarily related to social policy. National projects in modern Russia can be considered as a tool for implementing the policy of the welfare state.

Methodology and sources. The author used foreign and Russian theories of the welfare state and legal acts of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the study was: the theory of social representations by S. Moscovici, namely the idea that representations are a specific way of understanding and communication, which creates reality and common sense; modern theories of public administration efficiency. The empirical basis was data from sociological surveys and official statistics.

Results and discussion. The current results of the implementation of national projects are considered within the framework of compliance with the following components of the welfare state: creating a comfortable social environment; creating conditions and opportunities for self-realization and revealing the talent of each person; the emergence of incentives for the creation and functioning of non-state institutions aimed at improving the quality of life of citizens.

Conclusion. National projects in the near future can be considered as potential opportunities for overcoming a number of difficulties and social problems within the framework of the socio-economic development of Russia, and thereby ensuring the strengthening of the welfare state.

Introduction. The article continues a series of publications on R-linguistics and is dedicated to the ternary hypothesis and the problem of modeling the world associated with it. The essence of the ternary hypothesis is based on the assumption that any natural language does not use verbs with arity (valency) above three. This hypothesis creates an epistemological problem, the essence of which lies in the mismatch between the constraints of the dimensionality of thinking and the dimensionality of some phenomena and processes of the surrounding world. The indicated problem is directly related to language, since language reflects human thinking and the structure of the world model.

Methodology and sources. The results obtained in the previous parts of the series are used as research tools. To develop the necessary mathematical representations for verbs with high valence, the categorization axioms formulated earlier in the series are used.

Results and discussion. It has been shown that cases of multiple indirect objects are related to data dependencies in the sentence. Methods of categorization have been developed for ternary relations and relations with higher arity. It has been demonstrated that even in this case, all conditional categorizations and conditional verbs can be reduced to a single categorization.

Conclusion. The ternary hypothesis and the ternary problem are formulated. Based on the study of data dependencies, it is shown that the ternary hypothesis is most likely true for all natural languages. Based on the study of methods of categorizing relations with arity higher than three, it is demonstrated that in this case linguistic spaces show stability regardless of the location of categories in the sentence, which makes it possible to describe highdimensional interactions using subordinate clauses. Thus, the appearance of subordinate clauses in all languages of the world is associated with the need to describe highdimensional interactions in the world model human.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the analysis of the linguistic means expressing the concept of «mystery» in the fictional works of J. Lippard and N. Buntline, the allocation of its socio-cultural component and the field model construction of lexical units representing this concept. The relevance of the research is due to the interest of modern linguistics in the study of the conceptual sphere of artistic works of the «urban mysteries» genre by American authors.

Methodology and sources. The study was conducted within the framework of a linguistic and cultural approach using methods of description, comparison, interpretative analysis, conceptual analysis, the method of dictionary definitions analyzing, structural and semantic analysis, and the method of quantitative calculations. The illustrative material of the study consisted of more than 74 lexical units representing the «mystery» concept in the language, 45 of which were found in the analyzed works. The material was obtained by the method of directed sampling from the fictional works of American authors of the 19th century.

Results and discussion. This article discusses and analyzes various interpretations of the concept of «mystery» by domestic and foreign scientists; defines the role of the concept in the work of fiction as a whole and in the analyzed novels of two authors J.  lippard and N. Buntline; identifies the features of the linguistic implementation of the «mystery» concept; classifies the linguistic units of the concept according to their parts of speech, semantics and stylistic coloring; analyzes the writers’ linguistic pictures of the world and the conceptual sphere of their works, the illustrative zone of which reveals the reasons for the similarity not only of the storylines of the works, but also of their lexical content.

Conclusion. The study made it possible to describe and illustrate the individual style of American authors of the 19th century through a system of expressive means that correlates the inner world of the writer with the artistic reality, the artistic world of the text created by the «poetic» language. The mental world can be interpreted in cognitive terminology as an individual poetic conceptual sphere, or the conceptual system of the author, consisting of a conceptual, objective, associative, figurative and symbolic layer of the concept. The study showed that the learning of the writer's linguistic picture of the world and the conceptual sphere of the work can be carried out using a field model, analyzing the LSF forming the «mystery» concept. The analyzed LSF is distinguished by a more specific vocabulary composition, the complication of the seme structure of words, the seme expansion and the restructuring of their hierarchy, which together form the artistic worldview of the authors.

Introduction. We consider the Golden Ratio principle and the Fibonacci sequence in terms of its possible use in the production and perception of information. The correspondence between the Fibonacci sequence and the principle of symmetry is most clearly shown when numbers are replaced with concepts and judgments.

Methodology and sources. Language is an integral part not only of consciousness, but also of reality, and therefore it is quite natural to assume that its formation and development took place in accordance with the objective laws of nature that ensure the effectiveness of the interaction of structural and systemic formations as part of the whole. Such an approach makes it possible to find answers to questions that have not been solved within the narrow linguistic framework of the study, and also contributes to the fact that language structures designed to describe the state of affairs in reality provide a methodological basis for cognition at the disposal of a person.

Results and discussion. The simplest language phrases built on the models of «what is what», «what is which», «what/who does what», already contain all the essential elements of thought: 1) the separation of two objects; 2) comparing them with each other (in consciousness), and 3) inference (stating their separateness and differences from each other). Thus, symmetry and asymmetry are the essence of the process of obtaining new knowledge in any field of research. Each new judgment in the chain constructed in accordance with the Fibonacci sequence includes the two previous ones, but in a new quality – based on their synthesis. At the same time, all copies of the original and received structures remain in memory.

Conclusion. The search for laws implies not only generalization of ideas, but also finding the simplest schemes according to which material objects are created and processes occurring in the natural environment are implemented. In accordance with the processes regulating the stability and variability of systems in the natural environment, the activity of consciousness is also carried out, aimed at obtaining knowledge and their formation on the basis of symmetry and asymmetry. Symmetry contributes to the preservation and assimilation of the original data, asymmetry allows you to extract new information based on them. The information coming from outside is transformed into linguistic structures – the only way possible for a person to reflect the results of logical and sensory analysis.

Introduction. The aim of the article is to analyze an extramural express consultation as a genre of oral medical discourse. New telemedicine technologies expand the forms of communication, it results in transformation of the dialogue between a doctor and a patient when communicating online, which requires linguistic research.

Methodology and sources. The article is based on the main theses of the theory of speech genres formulated by M.M. Bakhtin, T.A. Van Dijk, O.B. Sirotinina, T.V. Shmeleva and others. The author has taken the scientific works on the study of speech genres of oral medical discourse as the methodological basis of the analysis. This includes the works of V.V. Zhura, E.A. Ponomarenko, M.I. Barsukova and others. The study applies methods of linguistic analysis of recorded online consultations for speech-genre characteristics of express consultations.

Results and discussion. The article gives a description of an express consultation, including the following parameters: communicative goal, utterance content, speech roles of communicators, linguistic embodiment of the genre. The author pays special attention to doctor's communicative style and gives its assessment in terms of achieving communicative and consequently professional success. The author also describes a speech-genre scenario of a medical online consultation and a chain of communicative moves in a doctor's speech.

Conclusion. The study shows that doctor's every speech act is specified by a complex system of communicative targets, primarily related to informative goals (requesting information from the patient and providing information in the form of an explanation and recommendation) and therapy goals to maintain a patient's psychological and emotional well-being. Communicators' speech behavior is regulated by the institutional roles of «an agent» and «a client» of an institution, native speakers having their own invariants. The utterance content is specified by a patient's specific complaint and is organized in accordance with the stages of a medical consultation. The study concludes that genre competence as a part of communicative competence in the form of online communication is the most important professional tool of a consulting specialist.

Introduction. The research article in English has recently been under scrutiny by theoretical and applied linguists. The understanding of research article is heterogeneous: it can be defined as a scientific manuscript, an independent text type or a separate genre. In Russian academic discourse the concept of the research article usually implies a scientific publication with the definite word count which is less than a monograph. However, this broad definition comprises a variety of heterogeneous genres. The English academic discourse, on the contrary, specifies research genres manifested in Research, Review, Editorial, Commentary, Clinical Case Report and other text names. Additionally, these research genres can vary according to the scientific discipline. The objective of this paper is to identify and classify academic research genres in medical discourse.

Methodology and sources. The research corpus was collected from the original highimpact open-access medical journals, i.e., Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, British Medical Journal, Clinical Infectious Diseases, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Brain, Pediatrics, Diabetes, Heart, Journal of Neuroscience. The research procedure involved contextual, semantic and comparative analysis of the journal requirements on the article type and content presented in typical sections About the Journal, Authors Guidelines and Table of Contents.

Results and discussion. The analysis has led to the development of differential parameters for further research genres classification. The findings have shown that a variety of research papers under different names can be classified as a system of research genres in the academic discourse represented by medical research publications. We have also found distinct correlations between medical journal requirements and linguistic characteristics of medical research genres.

Conclusion. The academic medical discourse functions in a wide spectrum of article types, which can be classified as medical research genres according to discourse parameters.

Introduction. Ordering the space and time elements in Welsh independent clause, when the subject is formed from a noun, is accompanied by a rather specific agreement of these elements in number. In the grammars of Welsh one can find various classifications of noninverse and inverse sentences and, mostly, practical notions concerning the peculiarities of the agreement of the main parts. Theoretical explanations are meanwhile quite poor. Because it can be proposed, that the peculiarities of sentence organization in Welsh could influence the syntax of English – the language of international communication, the theme under discussion is rather topical.

Methodology and sources. The investigation is carried out on the base of four Welsh grammars, containing large chapters on syntax. We also used a collection of texts, from which the examples of non-inverse and inverse sentences were taken. The methodological base of the work is the binomiality idea.

Results and discussion. In non-inverse Welsh sentences, the predicate agrees with the subject in number only in case the subject is formed from a pronoun; in case the subject is formed from a noun, the 3-rd person singular is always used. In mixed and abnormal sentences, the word order becomes inverse. The investigation of explicit elements of subject and predicate has turned to be not sufficient, and we were forced to apply the hypothesis on implicitness, inexplicitness and ellipsis of some elements. In doing so, we managed to match the analytic tense in Welsh with the continuous tense in English. It was also suggested, that (emphatic) Welsh constructions can influence the structure of English sentence.

Conclusion. In Welsh independent clauses, the weak space specifier can be modified by an implicit strong pronominal semifinitive, after what an implicit element in function of the space element reveals in the subject. Developing the hypothesis about the possible inexplicitness of fixed semifinitives in the Welsh subject, we can also assume that abnormal and mixed sentences in Welsh originate from the subordinate clause of a complex sentence. Within the framework of the general model, it turns out that the arrangement of space and time elements does not contradict the Indo-European system, which fully manifests itself in the English sentence.
