The book includes 71 papers submitted to the International conference in computer linguistics and intellectual technologies Dialogue 2017 and presents a broad spectrum of theoretical and applied research of natural language description, language simulation, and creation of applied computer technologies.

The story about a young man named Lucius who was turned into an ass by a witch appears in the ancient literature twice at least: in Lucian's novella entitled Lucius, or the Ass and in Apuleius' Metamorphoses. Besides, as reported by Photius in his Bibliotheca (cod.129), there also existed one more work on the same subject, entitled Metamorphoses, which gas not come down to us. The most fascinating question for scholars here was always the question of origin of this plot. The book is an attempt to give an answer to the question. 

Thebook considers ideological, political, religious, cultural, and everyday life aspects of "the Decembrists and France" theme. The French liberalism is show to have played a role in the shaping of Decembrists ideology. The book also contains comparative historical analysis of the Enlightenment and liberal ideas in France and in Russia. These subjects are considered against the general background of the cultural and political life in France and Russia in the late 18 and early 19 centuries; the book is based on a large number of sources, many of which have not been addressed by scholars before. 

For specialists in history, philology, cultural studies, and for the general readership with and interest in the problems of cultural interaction.

The volume includes 69 papers read at the International conference on computer linguistics and AI applications Dialogue 2015 which covers a wide range of theoretical and applieds research in natural language desccription, linguistic processes modelling and creating natural language applications.
