Aim. To identify the lexical and semantic means involved in the creation of speech aggression in the television discourse; to identify the frequency and peripheral components of the lexical system of speech aggression in the genre of talk shows and to conduct a detailed analysis of frequent and less frequent lexemes; to draw conclusions about the use of words in speech aggression. Methodology. Methods of research of dictionary definitions and lexicographic litters, stylistic analysis, and field modeling served to achieve the goal. Statistical processing of the studied language material was also used. The material is lexical and semantic means that express speech aggression, selected from the speeches of the talk show participants. Results. The analysis showed that the frequency constituents of the lexical system of speech aggression in the genre of talk shows are evaluative, colloquial, colloquial vocabulary, jargon, negatively colored phraseological units. The near-frequency zone includes expletive language (invective) and metaphor. The periphery of this system includes occasional words, foreign language vocabulary, proper names. Aggressive speech acts of the talk show genre are characterized by an emotional, explicit assessment. The type of jargon that prevails in an aggressive speech in TV debates is general jargon (which is based on criminal jargon). The intention to insult or humiliate the addressee of the speech or a third person is manifested in different degrees in invective and rough-colloquial vocabulary: the use of colloquial language leads to an increase in the expressiveness of speech, evaluativeness, indicates implicit aggression; invective is specifically used to insult, humiliate the interlocutor. There is a dependence of the composition of the vocabulary of an aggressive utterance on the type of speech act. Research implications. . The obtained research results can be used in university special courses on the theory and practice of speech influence in practical classes on the text's analysis and interpretation. The materials can also be used in teaching Russian as a foreign language: in teaching methods of recognizing and interpreting aggression in speech communication.

Aim. The purpose of this work is to present the structural and semantic characteristics of verbal-nominal phrases functioning in a diachrony using the example of the "Primary Chronicle. Methodology. In the course of the work we used general scientific (observation, description, synthesis, analysis) and linguistic (component analysis method, contextual analysis method) methods. Results. The work results described the structure, semantics, and functioning of 312 stable units collected using continuous sampling. Research implications. The description of verbal-nominal phrases as special stable units of the Old Russian language makes it possible to expand the understanding of the composition of "transitional" phenomena between free phrases and phraseological units.

Aim. The purpose of this work is to identify the role of words with the root 'мал' (on the example of the words малый, немалый, маленький, немаленькая, малыш, малолетство, малолетний) in the dilogy of F. Vigdorova «Family happiness,» «Favorite street.». Methodology. The article establishes the frequency of use of words with the root 'мал' in the dilogy; examines the lexicographic data of the studied words; analyzes the nest of words with the root 'мал' from the point of view of semantics. The research uses the following methods: linguistic observation and description, statistical calculation, and elements of component analysis. Results. As a result of the semantic analysis of words with the root 'мал' determined that they are «“embedded” in the national mentality», showing features of the idiolect of the writer. They identify the reflection of conceptual content of the substantial unit of Russian culture, the national conceptual sphere of CHILDHOOD in the mental-lingualism complex linguistic identity of F. Vigdorova. Therefore, allow drawing conclusions about the traits of her worldview to evaluate the moral-philosophical view of the writer. Research implications. The scientific novelty of the work is that the previously published articles did not present an analysis of the semantics of words with the root 'мал' (on the example of the words малый, немалый, маленький, немаленькая, малыш, малолетство, малолетний) in the literary texts of F. Vigdorova. The research results can be used in the preparation of lectures and practical classes on linguistic semantics, linguoculturology, and the language of fiction in higher educational institutions.

Aim. The aim of this work is to consider the semantics and functioning of predicative prepositional-case forms of a noun as an updated way of formalizing the semantics of a state. Methodology. The article reveals the reasons, prerequisites, and conditions for the transition of prepositional-case forms of a noun to the category of state, and analyzes the signs of lexical and grammatical transformation of actual transposed forms of a noun on the examples of word forms в плюсе, в грусти. The methods of observation, generalization, structural and semantic analysis, statistical analysis, and scalar method were used in the stud. Results. The result of the analysis revealed that the prerequisites of transition prepositional-case forms of the noun in the category of state are the state semes and the estimated (or potentially estimated) semes, the ability of a word to “isolate" from the General system of declination and be used with copulas in a role of stable phrases, that regularly take predicative position. Research implications. The results of the research contribute to the development of the ideas of the semantics of the state and the category of the state and the theory of transitivity.

Aim. The purpose of the work is to identify the common and special features in the system of transformation methods of stable comparisons of different structural models, to compare the procedures for transforming the form and semantics of these units with the methods of transformation of phraseological units as a whole. Methodology. The article considers the factors that influence the richness and diversity of the author's methods of transforming stable comparisons; the problem is considered against the background of "non-comparative phraseology." The question is raised about the similarity and differences of the author's methods of transformation of two stable comparisons related to the comparative nest with the meaning-forming component камень. Methods of observation and generalization, descriptive method, method of analysis of dictionary definitions, contextual analysis, component analysis, statistical method are used. Results. The article presents an analysis of the features of comparative phraseological units' structure and semantics. During the study, the most productive ways of the author's transformation of stable comparisons that differ in lexical and grammatical expression of the figurative basis are considered. The most frequent procedures for transforming such units are identified, applicable to phraseology as a whole and special methods determined by the structural and semantic specifics of stable comparisons. The author concludes that stable comparisons have more flexibility both structurally and semantically than the main body of phraseological units. Research implications. The results of the research contribute to the theory of comparative phraseology, lexicology, and stylistics. They can be used as a theoretical basis for compiling dictionaries of the author's transformations of stable comparisons of the Russian language.

Aim. To substantiate an unconventional view of the linguistic status of a proper name as a special structural and semantic type of words. Methodology. The author uses a descriptive method to analyze theoretical and practical material, which allows us to see the contradictions in the traditional approach to the proper name as a lexical and grammatical category of a noun. Results. The analysis showed that the traditional approach does not consider the peculiarities of individual characterization inherent in the proper name. It is concluded that proper names represent a special type of language signs and are distinguished not in the system of parts of speech, but in the system of structural and semantic types of words. This allows us to clarify the system of lexical and grammatical categories of the noun as a part of speech. Research implications. The article contributes to the development of V. Vinogradov's concept of structural and semantic types of words and parts of speech, as well as to the development of the theory of proper names in the context of the lexical and grammatical approach to parts of speech.

To reveal the theme the authors used comparative and analytical methods of studying Solzhenitsyn and Bryusov. Similarities, as well as variances and reminiscences, are revealed. Results. It was concluded from the study that there is no call to fight for their rights in both poems. The heroes are unable to change their fate. Their existence is sustained by work, although its results are directed against themselves. The hard labor of builders and convicts is the subject of the writers' representation from different centuries. Research implications. A comparative analysis of poems was carried out for the first time and is intended to fill the literary gaps in the poetry of A. Solzhenitsyn and V. Bryusov.
