  • Functioning of Political Aphorisms with a Future Meaning in the Media of the International and Russian Regional Languages
    Proceedings of INTCESS 2017 4th International Conference on Education and Social Sciences 6-8 February 2017- Istanbul, Turkey FUNCTIONING OF POLITICAL APHORISMS WITH A FUTURE MEANING IN THE MEDIA OF THE INTERNATIONAL AND RUSSIAN REGIONAL LANGUAGES Flera Ya.

Prof., Gymnasium n° 26 André Malraux, Russia, [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract The article is devoted to a research of problems of contact development of the international and Russian regional languages in the context of the European political discourse on the example of functioning of aphorisms with a future meaning. The expression of the category of future in aphoristic space of world and regional media of languages with different structure – French, Russian, Tatar and Mari – is studied. Special attention is paid to functioning of language / mass aphorisms for expression of the concepts "power" and "politician". The comparative description of proverbs and sayings, appeals, mottoes, slogans, clichés, symbols, quotes is carried out. The most represented aphorisms in a political discourse of the French, Russian, Tatar and Mari media are the aphorisms related to the following lexical semantic fields: foreign / domestic policy, state / country, state structures / services, institutions, parties and political movements, governing bodies, political system, authorities, heads of political structures, parties, movements and their members. Keywords: aphorism, political aphorisms, political discourse, future, power, politician, media. 1.

  • Eastern Finno-Ugrian Cooperation and Foreign Relations
    UC Irvine UC Irvine Previously Published Works Title Eastern Finno-Ugrian cooperation and foreign relations Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4gc7x938 Journal Nationalities Papers, 29(1) ISSN 0090-5992 Author Taagepera, R Publication Date 2001-04-24 DOI 10.1080/00905990120036457 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Nationalities Papers, Vol. 29, No. 1, 2001 EASTERN FINNO-UGRIAN COOPERATION AND FOREIGN RELATIONS Rein Taagepera Britons and Iranians do not wax poetic when they discover that “one, two, three” sound vaguely similar in English and Persian. Finns and Hungarians at times do. When I speak of “Finno-Ugrian cooperation,” I am referring to a linguistic label that joins peoples whose languages are so distantly related that in most world contexts it would evoke no feelings of kinship.1 Similarities in folk culture may largely boil down to worldwide commonalities in peasant cultures at comparable technological stages. The racial features of Estonians and Mari may be quite disparate. Limited mutual intelligibility occurs only within the Finnic group in the narrow sense (Finns, Karelians, Vepsians, Estonians), the Permic group (Udmurts and Komi), and the Mordvin group (Moksha and Erzia). Yet, despite this almost abstract foundation, the existence of a feeling of kinship is very real. Myths may have no basis in fact, but belief in myths does occur. Before denigrating the beliefs of indigenous and recently modernized peoples as nineteenth-century relics, the observer might ask whether the maintenance of these beliefs might serve some functional twenty-first-century purpose. The underlying rationale for the Finno-Ugrian kinship beliefs has been a shared feeling of isolation among Indo-European and Turkic populations.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to the colleagues with whom I have had the opportunity to work and discuss various intriguing aspects of Tundra Nenets grammar, especially to Farrell Ackerman, Larisa Leisiö and Tapani Salminen. I really miss our joint elicitation sessions; it was a lot of fun! Tapani Salminen was the first to intro- duce me to the language, and his own work on Tundra Nenets has always been a source of inspiration for me. I also thank Tapani and Larisa for their assistance in the practical aspects of my fieldwork.

  • A Comparative Study on the Sayan Languages (Turkic; Russia and Mongolia)
    MASTER THESIS A comparative study on the Sayan languages (Turkic; Russia and Mongolia) Author: Supervisor: Tessa de Mol-van Valen Dr. E.I. Crevels Second reader: Dr. E.L. Stapert A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Research Master of Linguistics June 2017 For Tuba, Leo Hollemans, my students and dear family “Dus er is een taal die hetzelfde heet als ik? En u moet daar een groot werkstuk over schrijven? Wow, heel veel succes!” Acknowledgements I am indebted to my thesis supervisor Dr. E.I. Crevels at Leiden University for her involvement and advice. Thank you for your time, your efforts, your reading, all those comments and suggestions to improve my thesis. It is an honor to finish my study with the woman who started my interest in descriptive linguistics. If it wasn’t for Beschrijvende Taalkunde I, I would not get to know the Siberian languages that well and it would have taken much longer for me to discover my interest in this region. This is also the place where I should thank Dr. E.L. Stapert at Leiden University. Thank you for your lectures on the ethnic minorities of Siberia, where I got to know the Tuba and, later on, also the Tuvan and Tofa. Thank you for this opportunity. Furthermore, I owe deep gratitude to the staff of the Universitätsbibliothek of the Johannes Gutenberg Universität in Mainz, where I found Soyot. Thanks to their presence and the extensive collection of the library, I was able to scan nearly 3000 pages during the Christmas Holiday.

  • Labial Harmony in Kazakh: Descriptive and Theoretical Issues
    LABIAL HARMONY IN KAZAKH: DESCRIPTIVE AND THEORETICAL ISSUES By ADAM G. MCCOLLUM A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 © 2015 Adam G. McCollum To Mara-Diana, who has been patient and exceedingly merciful during this process ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank my beautiful wife and rambunctious son, who make writing all of this worthwhile. Without their love and care, I would surely be wandering lost amidst some herd of yaks somewhere. In addition to their support, I’ve been so fortunate to have a group of inspiring, encouraging, and kind professors a balding young linguist could hope for. Caroline Wiltshire was instrumental in the formation of this idea from the very beginning, and throughout the process of research and writing she has been a diligent reader, wise mentor, and a wellspring of constructive suggestions and ideas. Brent Henderson was patient enough with me to introduce me to formal linguistics, and more than that, to offer counsel whenever the struggles of balancing family life with school were most challenging. Many thanks also go out to Ratree Wayland for helping me to understand something of phonetics, and for suggesting relevant reading along the way. Additionally, I’ve really appreciated and benefited from conversations with Todd Hughes, Bryan Gelles, Liz Bossley, Majid Al-Homidan, Marc Matthews, and Mohammed Al-Meqdad over the last couple of years. Many thanks also go out to the admissions committee and the entire Linguistics Department at UF for being willing to take a mighty risk on an old fogey like me.
