Emotions and attitudes in present day Russian through the prism of new words: Cultural semantics of zhest’ and related concepts
Russian Journal of Linguistics. 2022. Vol. 26. No. 4. P. 970–994.
Contemporary Russian lexicon is characterized by rapid change which involves borrowings, the use of new words and expressions as well as the emergence of new meanings from the existing word forms. The paper considers the development of the colloquial use of the word žest’ (from žest’ ‘tin’ – a type of metal) and the increase of use of the words žestkij ‘hard/tough/firm’ and žestko ‘firmly/toughly’ as an example of ‘internal’ language processes. Žest’ belongs to the domain of colloquial speech and youth slang, but it is also infiltrating other types of discourse. Žestkij and žestko are shown to be prevalent in the political discourse as a sign of power. The paper analyses the semantics of the words and establishes cultural links between the meaning of the words and broader cultural themes. It uses the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) as a method of semantic analysis relying on data from the Russian National Corpus. Despite belonging to different types of discourse, the words are shown to be closely connected conceptually and the cultural prominence of the concept is emphasized.

There is a scene in Pindar’s Pythian 9 that attracts much attention of
scholars, not only because the erotic theme in general is unusual for Pindar,
but also because in this scene neither the question that Apollo addresses
Chiron, nor the answer that Chiron gives him, can be unambiguously
interpreted. Does Apollo intend to commit open violence against Cyrene,
or ...

The papers in this thematic volume demonstrate that language policy in the post-Soviet
space and elsewhere reveals a fundamental tension that mirrors global shifts: the
conflict between state efforts to manage national identity and the organic reality of
human communication. While regional nationalization efforts often demonstrate
global patterns of securitization, the actual practices of speakers tell a different
story.
Language policy ...

Настоящее исследование посвящено изучению и описанию жанра прозаического гимна, определению его места в системе жанров

и становление данного жанра — тесно взаимосвязаны. Так, с одной
стороны, полная характеристика прозаического гимна возможна только при условии его сопоставления с гимном поэтическим — древнейшим жанром древнегреческой хоровой ...

In political speeches of Dio Chrysostom, in particular in his so-called

the words such as ὁμόνοια (agreement), εἰρήνη ‘peace’, στάσις ‘discord’, ἔχθρα ‘enmity’, φιλονικία ‘rivalry’, etc. However, the specific meaning of
these terms depends on the context and can vary significantly in different speeches of Dio. For example, his ...
