Inserted in a postmodern sociocultural context, increasingly multipolar and

crossed by idiosyncrasies, EntreLínguas journal proposed to gather articles in this edition

that would have studies about Russian Literary Studies and Linguistics, aiming to expand

the repertoire of those who are somehow interested in the area. Thus, it was of vital

interest to include different voices from the academic environment to reflect on topics of

outstanding relevance and that elucidate the diversity of the field regarding the

discussions discussed here. Moreover, it should be emphasized the role that such

scientific productions play in the education of teachers (both initial and continued), since

they constitute an active significant in the process of building new knowledge, which,

Next, I briefly comment on the articles gathered in this volume, underlining

aspects that caught my attention at the time of reading and with the intention of inciting

the same curiosity that had sharpened me in the possible readers who will access such

reflections. I start by Crisis in the modernist period: Dmitry Merezhkovsky’s

interpretation, an article that opens the reflections of this edition, in which the authors

approach, with outstanding philosophical framework, the perspective of the Russian

symbolist with regard to his interpretations of the concept of crisis and how it describes

the state of modern industrial society. This elaboration conspicuously links

Merezhkovsky's formulations to Viktor Frankl's existential vacuum and to the stun of

Friedrich Nietzsche's mind, as well as expose his analyses of the social, religious and

psychological roots of the moral and spiritual crisis. The Effect of core working memory

training on consecutive interpreting, in turn, examine the effect of working memory

training (TM) for the development of consecutive interpretation. With a paired sample t-

test, the results obtained pointed, among other things, to a significant performance on the

precision scale, while the quality and delivery of the target language were of little

effectiveness.

In the following article, entitled Personalized learning reliability of tell me more:

a dynamic approach, author Maria Shobeiry qualitatively analyzed the activities, classes

and workshops of the Tell Me More (TMM) learning software, which provides the study

of English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic

languages. With a robust literature review, in which she discusses the learning of English

as a Foreign Language and English as a Second Language for Malaysian students, as well

as on the effectiveness of learning with the use of customized platforms, Shobeiry

concludes that, partly the practicality and motivation generated by the TMM, the need for

an initial leveling test and a constant dynamic assessment during the teaching process is

urgent. Further, in Semantic features of architectural eponymic terms, the authors from

the Technical University of Karaganda, studied the formation and characteristics of the

eponymic terms – defined here as the words in which a proper name is the component –

using a diachronic analysis. Leichik's (2009, p. 75) definition of eponymic terms is also

used, which sees them as: terms whose structural elements are proper names that denote

the authors of objects, phenomena, corresponding units of measure or are attributed in

honor of famous scientific and cultural figures (commemorative terms) (our translation).

The following study, called Comparative research into the landscape vocabulary

in the Mongolian languages from the perspective of language contacts, is part of the

approximations between the Oirats language and the Kalmyk language and how they

relate to Mongolian landscapes from their vocabulary terms. This investigation

establishes an important dialogue with the works of Rassadin (2015) and Rassadin &

Trofimova (2010) on the lexicon of the inanimate nature. In their way, the authors of

Features of phonetic terms for morphonological processes start from consistent analysis

of scientific and methodological literature to constitute knowledge related to

morphological processes and to understand the disputes within the field that have them

as an object of research. In this act, they recognize, above all, the multiplicity of views in

modern linguistics when thinking about morphological phenomena in language.

The very title of Problematic field of communicative practices under

globalization: linguistic aspect (emphasis added) elucidates the root of the discussion

constructed in the article, since it is willing to understand the contemporary processes of

communication in a scenario in which the speed of information and the dynamicity of

interactions are the guiding lines of this debate in the second decade of the 21st century.

Thus, the process of globalization, information technologies and ethnocultural codes

appear interlinked in the discussion of the results, which proposes to understand,

furthermore, how these reflect (and refract) the social ties between individuals. Later, in

the article by Yulia Khazankovich, the author proposes to analyze the non-Russian view

on the stylistic aspect of the literatures Chukchi, Nivkh and Evenki, cultural productions

elaborated by indigenous peoples of the Russian Arctic. Due to the bilingualism of these

communities, the historiography of indigenous prose, according to the researcher, did not

hold on to these texts, therefore, from a phenomenological and typological approach,

some of the works of prosers and poets from Northern Russia are analyzed.

Precedent phenomena of the contemporary Russian and Spanish mass media as

cognitive structures of a linguistic identity constitute an inventory of the means of

expression of precedence by linguistic identity, conducts a study on the previous units in

media texts and attempt to model a cognitive mechanism of text interpretation based on

these units. This article highlights table 1, which presents a cognitive-semiotic PN model

for understanding the figure of Don Quixote in Spanish, Italian and Russian. information

and communication technologies (TICs) acquire centrality in the discussion built by Irina

Korotaeva and Daria Kapustina in Features of the educational process organization in

foreign language classes with students of non-linguistic specialties when switching to

distance learning, which deals with fundamentally contemporary problems of a society

in a pandemic context (and now, post-pandemic). Here, among other things, teachers were

asked about the quality of classes in remote systems and the results are important for all

who want to understand the possible directions that the educational field can chart in the

coming decades.

Still speaking of the relationship between education and digital technologies The

impact of MOOC aggregators on the development of language education constitutes

relevant systematization of language teaching mechanisms and platforms, with their

functionalities and obstacles properly catalogued. In conclusion, the authors state that,

despite the diversity of these systems, none proved to be ideal and capable of offering all

the necessary conditions for a MOOLC. The development of intercultural communicative

competence of future translators studying German after English, in its own way,

contributes to studies on multilingualism and pluriculturalism, with significant notes on

the learning of a second foreign language, to the importance of the interaction of students

and native speakers, to the role of motivation of students by specific strategies, and so on.

Thus, the conclusions express the relevance of establishing appropriate pedagogical

conditions for the development of communicative competence.

The search for national specificities in Russian education programs is the core of

the text National-regional component in concept of open education courses on Russian

as foreign language, which makes use of the model of Bersegyan & Shchukin (2018) to

verify aspects such as linguistic, regional studies, pragmatic, aesthetic, among others. In

its own way, Female names on the geographical map of the Sakha republic (Yakutia)

seeks to investigate the recurrences of oeconions in this geographical region, but as the

authors point out, the presence of these terms is scarce and this fact derives from the social

inequality of females in relation to males. The fifteenth article, Teaching reading and

listening in Russian as a foreign language (A1-B1) classes using digital technology,

signed by Anna Ivanova, Maria Lontskaya and Inna Pakhomova resumes the binomial

teaching and technology, from the perspective of ICTs, to understand how specific

exercises of reading and listening skills are structured in the public from A1 to B1,

classification in line with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

(CEFR). For the authors, reading is defined as the main means of teaching other types of

discourse activities, such as writing and speech, which, according to them, justifies the

option for the communicative approach in the reflections constructed.

The text Taboo in traditional linguistic cultures (based on the Yakut language and

Russian old-time dialects of Yakutia) is of outstanding relevance and its authors have

proposed to understand how semantic fields of themes such as "disease" and "death" in

the aforementioned language and dialects are articulated. Lucido the force of euphemism,

a figure of language used with the aim of softening what is intended to say, in the article,

as well as the perception of social organization and customs of a given culture in the

process of crystallization of a taboo. Still about this article, I recognized similarities and

allow myself to draw a parallel with my experience in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil,

in which people of the elderly, by fear or any other circumstances, deprive themselves of

pronouncing certain words, such as "cancer"; "devil"; "hell"; "death", among many

others. Next, Valeria Kuleshova, The analysis of concepts in a terminology: a case study

of Russian and English terms in the field of photonic crystals, meticulously analyzes the

concept of the terminology "photonic crystal" and the correlations established in the field

with various thematic groups. With the study, we can see the influence of other sciences,

such as quantum physics, nanotechnology and microelectronics in the consolidation of

the term.

Interrogative in the humanities and linguistics: the epistemology of research

aimed to identify semiotic links between the interrogative and linguistic thinking of

Russian and French speakers. The framework of the study is worth mentioning, since it

mobilizes concepts of Ferdinand de Saussure and V. Gak for the general problems of

language and communication theory; by Y. Kristeva and Karasik for discursive studies;

and of S. Fomina and L. Foulet, among others for the correlations between interrogative

thinking and language. Therefore, the article recognizes the avant-garde character of the

epistemological paradigm of the study of the interrogator in Rússia and in other countries.

Further, Linguistic representation of the notion "migrant children" in naive consciousness

of native Russian speakers is the gear that turns the article by Shustova et al which,

through a free association experiment, seeks to understand the representations in a

universe of 148 volunteers aged 18 to 49, residents of Russian cities. As a result, three

micro-fields were constituted, being: 1) Those who came from another country; 2)

Emotions, feelings, evaluations; and 3) Realities of life, which point to coherent and

typically structured images of the proposed concept of "migrant children" in the minds of

Russians.

Of admittedly colloquial language, the textual genre pobyvalshchina, which we

can associate with a ballad in prose and with strong link with orality, guarded by the

specificities, is a substantial component of the following article, Genre features and

linguistic specificity of folklore works in the Tobolsk Irtysh Land (Russia), whose intent

is to recognize characteristics of the genre in folklore works in a region of Russia known

as Tobolsk Irtysh Land. As a result, the authors suggest the correction and

supplementation of the conceptual apparatus of classical folk studies, since, according to

them, there is a distancing from a deliberate desire to isolate this form of non-fictional

text. Then, the authors of the article On the acoustic structure and the phonological status

of diphthongs in German island dialectics (on the example of the settlements of Sozimsky

and Chernigovsky in the Kirov region) were willing to study the phonemic status of the

diphthongs of the German island dialects spoken in Kirov. Scientific research described

sound systems based on articulation, acoustics, perception and functioning of sounds and

thus distinguished nine diphthongs from the oral resonator, being: iě, uə, ui, ęa, əi, əu, hi,

or e ai.

Wang QI signs the text Idioms with component-phytonym semantics specification

in Chinese and English language, which focuses on semantic and structural traces of the

phraseological units endorsed with phytomymic component. From a systematic approach

to interdisciplinary analysis and taking into account the cultural linguistic aspect of

Chinese and English, the article presented a careful study on terms of the universe of

plants and idiomatic expressions that comtemplassem them, in the manner of the phrase:

All oak and iron bound, of the English language. Therefore, I quote QI (2021, p. 10) to

concatenate what, in my view, best represents your article:

The language of the people reflects not only the image of the world.

Language is a repository of knowledge about the culture of a people.

Language and culture are closely related. [...] While studying semantic

expressions, a researcher has access to people's culture and vice versa:

to understand an idiomatic expression properly, we have to know their

cultural formation.

As Domingos Fernandes (2005) underlines when reflecting on learning

assessments,

There are renewed conceptions of the curriculum, learning and

evaluation that have developed with particular expression in the last 30

years and which, for reasons of various order, it has not yet been

possible to materialize in general is that in schools and classrooms. Our

efforts in the coming years must go towards this necessary, desirable

and, I would say, essential implementation of other teaching and

evaluation practices that make education systems more democratic and

more appropriate to the demands of today's societies and to the

legitimate aspirations, needs and rights of children and young people.

In this sense, articles such as that of Panikarova et al, The influence of formative

assessment of students’ academic achievements on increasing their motivation to study

at university, have a particularly meritorious place. This, for example, underforces to

relate, in a causal link, the high-level formative assessment and the motivation of students

in learning a new language. As methodology, the authors chose the following:

experiment, observation, modeling, questioning, interview, test and statistics. Thus, they

constituted experimental and control groups with the intention to achieve their intentions.

Thus, as demonstrated in analysis after the tests applied in the respective groups, it was

noted that the type of evaluation that is used in the teaching of a foreign language directly

affects the level of achievement of the students regarding the knowledge constructed.

Then, in the article by Tatyana Zamiralova et al, Correlation of the concepts

“educational” and “intellectual” tourism: main similarities and differences, the authors

intended to highlight terminologies and their constituent elements, besides discussing the

influences exerted by ICTs, globalization and educational programs in these so-called

"intelligent" tourism movements. They conclude, then, that the terms refer to different

concepts, even though there are specific approximations. Later, Victor Shigurov, in his

text Word form "pravda" in periphery of nouns: indexing of first modalation stage,

proposed to study the transitivity zone of the aforementioned term, with a methodological

framework guided by Babaitseva (2000); Bally (1955); Bauder (1985); Migirin (1971);

among others. The method of analysis and oppositional indexing was also used in the

research. From the calculations obtained, the analysis shows that, according to the author

(SHIGUROV, 2021 p. 12),

[...] the degree of modalization of the peripheral nouns of the pravda

type is characterized by the proportion in its structure of the differential

characteristics of the nuclear noun pravda and the parenthetic-modal

conjunction nuclear substantive pravda. It was found that in the

peripheral area of the nouns, the word pravda (Pravda, chto ego tam

ne bylo [It is true that he was not there]) reveals a combination of 67

% with the nuclear noun pravda (Pravda glaza kolet [The truth is hard

to swallow]) and a combination of 17 % with the convening

parenthetic-nuclear denominational-modal pravda (On znaet o svoikh

oshibkakh, pravda, ne khochet priznavatsya v nikh [He knows about his

mistakes, though, he does not want to admit them]).

Oxymoron as a translation tool and a form of cultural translation (on the example

of silver age poetry) is the next article, in which Zhuk et al analyze aspects of the

translation of poems by Marina Tsvetaeva, Igor Severyanin, Aleksandr Blok, Anna

Akhmátova and Nikolay Gumilyov, writers whose works were consolidated as

outstanding representatives of Russian poetry in the universal canon. In the results of the

analysis performed, the researchers note that oxymoron is not present in the poetic text as

a mere stylistic device, but fulfills a special poetic function, capable of joining

semantically opposite terms. When dealing with the consequences of the translation of

poems, the article emphasizes the changes in the paradigmatic and sintagmatic axes that

can (and certainly will) occur. Then, the next article, in turn, deals with the functioning

of emotional causators in semantic complexes categories, observing the interaction

between the categories of elements of different levels of the language system in speech.

The authors then carry out this study in the light of the functional approach and functional

grammar, with the methodology based on the study of emotion and the aforementioned

functional linguistics. Thus, I quote ipsis litteris excerpt from the article for a description

of the conclusions obtained:

It is safe to say that all functional characteristics of the categorical

emotional-causal semantic complex are associated with the emotional

component. It is the emotions that are inextricably linked to the

categories of intensity, evaluation and expressiveness both at the deep

level and at the surface level, which we observed in the subcomplexes

analyzed. This allows us to argue that the study of emotional causators

should become an important part of emotion linguistics (BABENKO et

al, 2021, p. 12).

Starting from free associative experiments with Russian and German speakers, the

authors of Perception of education as a value: socio-psychological interpretation of data

from a comparative associative experiment carried out in Russia and Germany

constituted an important inventory of reactions of different orders to the concepts

presented to the interviewees of the study. The terms presented had education as value

and, from the answers, served to establish the fields and better understand positive,

negative and indifferent reactions. From the analysis, four types of meanings were

categorized: conceptual, emotional, evaluation and operational.

In About the role of metaphors and idioms in the formation of Azerbaijani

aphorisms, Fatima Valiyeva seeks to understand the use of metaphors and idiomatic

expressions, as well as their essence, since, according to the author, these elements of

language occupy an important place in the formation of azerbaijani language aphorisms.

The article then identifies the greater presence of idiomatic expressions in literary

language and, through excerpts, seeks to exemplify, describe and analyze these

recurrences. The article by Ahmadour et al, theoretical analysis of self-regulation on EFL

learners' motivation for speaking based on transformative approach, investigates the

impact of the instructional approach transformingthe teaching of English as a Foreign

Language (ILE). For this, 62 participants from a Boukan language school (27 males and

35 females) were selected. The methodology of the study is based on the theory of

integrality and the investigation aimed to achieve three objectives: 1) the creation of a

new teaching area for the context of ILE; 2) helping students experience a new learning

atmosphere; and 3) helping students develop a stronger personality in a more challenging

speaking environment.

Masnavi, Storytelling, Debate and Persuasion are the key words of Mawlawi's

techniques for persuading the audience in the story of Nakhjiran, an article that, through

the allegorical narrative of Nakhjiran and the Lion, seeks to identify the strategies of

persuasion employed. These would also serve, according to the authors, for the

transmission of mystical and religious concepts to the public. In short, the article points

to the persuasive function that each character plays in the story and describes how this is

done. Next, I note the article Modern trends in changing the communicative norms of

diplomatic discourse, which skillfully selects headlines and examples of discourses that,

in theory, should use diplomatic language, but which, on the contrary, slip into

colloquialisms and traces of ordinary dialogues. Among the most emblematic examples

are Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte; Samantha Power, U.S. permanent

representative to the U.N. Security Council; Donald Trump, former U.S. president; and

Kim Jong-un, north Korea's leader. I point out the relevance of the article to the Brazilian

public, which can, from the observation of the political reality of the country, identify,

describe and analyze the tendencies of escape to diplomatic language in the exhibitions

of national leaders, when they do not dispense it entirely in favor of an inflamed and

hateful rhetoric.

Linguistic "purity", morphological borrowings and issues of cross-cultural

communication discuss the relationship between French and English with regard to the

level of language loans and how this process catalyzes itself from new information and

communication technologies, thus generating two movements: the advocates of change,

who want transfers to take place and follow the speed of technology; and the past lovers,

who insist on preserving the "pure" lexicon, free of foreignisms. For the latter, it is even

worth returning to archaic terms in search of radicals and desinences that can create words

and justify a purely Anglo-Saxon or French language. In this article, then, I can clearly

identify what the Brazilian theorist Marcos Bagno calls, in his book, A norma oculta:

língua e poder na sociedade brasileira, of centrifugal forces and centripetal forces of the

language, which are constantly at an association to keep the language or to change it.

Formation of self-control skills in students in the concept of linguistic education

uses the analysis of scientific literature, regulatory and legislative acts in Russia and a

pedagogical experiment to understand how the process of training self-control skills in

students takes place. The experimental and control groups were composed of students

from Russian universities and, from questionnaires, multiple components were identified,

such as motivational, cognitive and reflexive, as well as different levels of self-control.

From self-control, then, according to the researchers, individuals become more aware of

the learning process and more flexible to meet market demands, as well as to increase

their competitiveness. Attentive to the speech acts of common life, the following article,

Communicative situations of typified behavior, focuses on dialogues between patients and

physicians, acquaintances, host and guest, client and agent, among others, to understand

possible hierarchical relationships between the speakers. The researchers list the presence

of typified roles of interlocutors, typical physical conditions of communication and

conventions attributed to typical communication situations. However, it is noted that each

situation occurs according to a specific interaction scenario. The analysis of the dialogues

proved to be robust, since the authors demonstrate the hierarchical relations clearly.

The soft skills applied to the educational context, in turn, are included in the article

Formation of "soft" skills in the university educational space while teaching foreign

languages, in which the authors analyze appropriate methodological approaches in which

they can favor the outcrop of these skills. From a reconstruction of the concept of soft

skills, as opposed to that of hard skills, the article leads us to understand how these ideas

land in the educational field. Therefore, it presents the tests and how they were applied,

with collected results that point to a discrepancy between "traditional" teaching and the

contemporary needs of the 21st century. In the education of the interviewees, according

to the text, teachers do not use activities that provide the formation of soft skills; however,

they are still attached to dated models whose sole intention is to verify the ability of

individuals to memorize and repeat. Thus, for the authors,

the training of soft skills during professionally oriented teaching of

foreign languages at the university can give teachers the opportunity to

draw students' attention to the role of personal, professional and

interpersonal skills for the implementation of effective professional

activities (GRIDASOVA et al, 2021, p.22).

In the article entitled Teaching tourist guides foreign languages: finding effective

methods, the authors are related to the issues of the training of the tour guide professional.

For this, the methods used were: theoretical stage and empirical stage. In this,

conversations with teachers on the subject were held, as well as tests to evaluate the level

of training. The groups formed (experimental and control) were composed, respectively,

by 46 and 43 people. After a thorough analysis, the study hypothesis was confirmed,

thus, it was concluded that the effective teaching of tour guides in foreign languages

provides for a high level of training (NEDOSUGOVA et al, 2021, p. 14).

Starting from the American sitcom Modern Family, the article Examination of the

linguistic-cultural characteristics of English based on the analysis of American

situational comedies highlighted the role of humor in learning the English language. With

a group of 50 students, the researchers proposed the study of linguistic-cultural and lexical

characteristics from the consumption of the cultural product. Proficiency studies were

conducted before and after watching the program and the results indicate that, in the

proper proportions, there are changes in learning. Further Early signs of polyphony in

constitutional literature: a case study of carnival elements in Charand Parand by Ali

Akbar Dehkhoda is an article in which the authors use, mostly, Mikhail Bakhtin's

concepts of carnivalization and polyphony to analyze a classic Iranian text. To this end,

Charand Parand's narrative structure, carnivalization in literature, Charand Parand's

critical structure, its carnival elements, the idea of "stupid", the naturalistic style, the

common elements with the spoken language and the application of humor are analyzed.

The researchers, in this way, illustrate with this work the cultural richness derived from

the constitutional period of Iran and recognize the Bakhtinian concepts present in literary

production.

In the following article, Pakhomova et al analyze the use of digital educational

programs in teacher education and highlight the need for new approaches in order to

improve the teaching process. The authors survey programs aimed at future teachers and

score, after an examination of these platforms, their advantages and disadvantages. The

use of educational computer programs in the training of foreign language teachers for

speech activity is the following article, whose objective is to research the use of interactive

forms and methods of reading approach to improve the cognitive abilities of students.

Among these, the sintopic reading gains special attention, being described throughout the

text, with its steps and its possible results. After an experimental study, the conclusions

point to the effectiveness of the tool, especially in the development of critical thinking

and reading competence.

The penultimate article, Discursive learning of students in terms of polytasking:

retrospective analysis, presents the use of the model of hypothetical trajectories of

discursive learning taking into account the fundamentals of polytasking. After theoretical

analysis and execution of the model, the authors recognize the need to exchange so-called

"traditional" forms for bolder ones, taking into account the notion of polytasking, given

the contemporary context of productivity and speed of capitalism. There is also an

indication that active methods of discursive learning improve the education of students,

however, researchers understand the non-exhaustion of the theme in this single article.

Finally, the last article of EntreLínguas journal, National images of the world: verbal and

visual components of the linguistic consciousness of the Chinese and Russians (on the

example of the concept “holiday”), is a drawing experiment from the concept "holiday".

As a consequence of associations, terms that constitute a semantic field related to the

theme addressed are raised. With core and periphery models, these relationships are

established more clearly and the results of the studies confirm the hypothesis that different

nationalities have similarities in thematic groups.

In summary, the EntreLínguas journal brings, in this edition, a series of articles

that touch different spheres of the studies of Letters and Linguistics, which will certainly

contribute to the expansion of the possibilities of those who access these texts, with regard

to the knowledge of new scientific productions and the creation of intellectual links with

scientists of the most diverse cultural origins, social, historical, political, ideological and

ethnic. Thus, although briefly, this presentation sought to constitute an overview of what

the reader may find in this edition, however, it is worth emphasizing the need to access

the articles in full to fully understand the hard work of these researchers and the results

to which they arrived.
