Abstract
Psycholinguistic experiment can be referred
to as the most promising methods of studying different
grammar phenomena including communicams.
The article is devoted to considering this language phenomenon
as one of the elements of spoken language.
In the process of our psycholinguistic experiment fi rstly
we revealed that the composition of communicams is
not closed, it is constantly developing according to
the models usual for the language, then we defi ned the
senses actual for communicants and the personal perspectives
of the meaning of those communicams that
have the semantics of uncertainty/disagreement refl ecting

Abstract
The language subject is the word form that
occupies the exclusive substantial position within the
framework of the sentence. The language subject is the
supreme degree of representation of an ego-category in
the language when various intentions of a Speaker are admitted
as a language system, receive the opportunity of the
formal expression within the framework of the sentence.
There are the following means of expression of the language
subject: the form of the Nominative case, substantives
animateness, meaning of the agens in the passive
construction, meaning of the subject of lexical orientation
of a predicate, meaning of a theme of the statement. The
Nominative case is the culmination of an expression of
ego-category in the language. The form of the Nominative
case is the highest and the last step of process of the subjectifation
of the Speakers intention.
Subjectifation is a process of Speakers intentions
transformation (ego-category) into the language subject,
subjectivity is a result of the subjectifation process. In that
process the ego-category passes the following stages of
language development: implicit expression of an ego-category
in the sentence; an estimation; isolation; topicalization;
subjectivity.

Abstract
This article is devoted to the concept of the
Feat in the language and hagiographic text. This concept
is examined from the historical and etymological,

concept of the Feat can be formulated as the tension
of spiritual forces in saving the soul, so the author argues
that concept of Feat falls into the category of spiritual
concepts and is one of the most important of hagiographic
concepts that belong to the Russian Orthodox
linguistic consciousness.

Abstract
In the article, the author analyzes some
proper archaisms in «Two hundred years together» by
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The research is devoted to
the problem of classifying the obsolete words to either
active or passive vocabulary - both of the language
and its speaker, a lingual personality. The author fi nds
components of description of proper archaic words as
elements of the writers idiostyle. She comes at the conclusion
that the named lexical units allow to extend the
semantics of the context by not only their meaning, but
also by the form. The author of the article considers the
masterful interweaving of archaic words into the contexture
of the work to be one of the most outstanding
characteristics of A. Solzhenitsyns idiostyle.

to clarify the semantics and genus-specifi c relations of
«animal names» in comparative analysis of the Mongolian
and Russian languages with the references to

goats and camels. The analysis of the material helped

about isomorphism of the given units in the structural
and functional aspects, which provides a basis for recognition
of confi xoid as an independent formant in the
word formation.
