The novel “Decline and Fall” by the prominent English satirical writer Evelyn Waugh served as the materials for this research. “Decline and Fall” of England of the XX century is the cross-cutting theme of the entire creative path of E.Waugh, the stylistic dominant of which is the satirical grotesque. The aforementioned defined the goal of research – explication of the key mechanisms and means of creating a satirical grotesque in the novel, which exposes and ridicules the vices of English society in the 1920s, as well as criticizes imperfections of educational system in the privileged educational institutions of England of that time. The article reviews the problem of emergence of the term “grotesque”, underlines its correlation with aesthetic category of the comic, and indicates the role and place of this literary technique in the works of Evelyn Waugh. It is determined that using satirical grotesque, Waugh creates unique world, alternative to the real that misaligns with perceptions on realism, for the description of which he applies all available techniques. The research demonstrates that the key mechanisms that determine the grotesque beginning of the novel include a combination of the mutually exclusive, hyperbolization, reification of characters, etc. A special satirical expressiveness and tragicomism, reduced to absurdity, manifests on the different levels of the novel (lexical, onomastic, morphological, syntactic, graphic). From this perspective, the novel “Decline and Fall” is being examined for the first time, which defines the novelty of this work, and outlines future prospects of studies dedicates to the novels of Evelyn Waugh, and satirical grotesque in particular.

These studies distinctly show the value of motivational climate and suspended individual supporting strategies focused on life goals, including emotional involvement. Deep involvement in school life and the authority of the teacher can be regarded as predictors of high achievement motivation of junior adolescents. The review analyzes the reasons of reduction in learning motivation of high schoolers. The article discusses the models that demonstrate the role of belief in self-efficacy and role of mother and father in the formation of school achievement motivation. The authors show that scientists gradually shift the emphasis in ...

A predicative verb at the beginning of a simple English sentence can be replaced by a deverbal noun in translation in order to shift the focus of attention to an adverbial modifier. In a semantically complicated sentence, the nominalization of an adverbial phrase increases its status in the communicative structure of a particular sentence and the entire text. The study showed that the nominalization in English to Russian translation is an effective strategy for preserving the coherence of the text.

This defines the relevance of this work, which discusses the problem of transition from the source text to its abstract interpretation. Based on the example of the English-language scientific article on social psychology, an attempt is made to explore the criteria for determining the key semantic components in the process of abstracting at the stage of understanding the source text. The theoretical overview of scientific papers, which cover the topic of abstracting a scientific text, as well as comparative analysis of the source text and derivative text, allowed formulating the main patterns in interpretation of the logical-semantic and discursive structure of the source text as one of the stages of the process of abstracting. It is established that in the process of underst...

However, relevant remains the task of determining dependence of the translation strategy on the peculiarities of semantic development and functionality of terminological units. This article examines the functional-semantic aspects of translation of the adjective-substantive terminological phrases of English language that reflects the scientific notions of psychology. An attempt is made to develop the methods for translating terminological phrases that would consider syntagmatic aspects of interaction of the meanings of its components. Attention is focused on determination of the impact of peculiarities of terminological meaning of terminological phrase upon the choice of its conveying in translation. A conclusion is made that the translation process of terminological phrases from English to Russian are influenced by such factors, as the level of semantic closeness of te...

Annotation of scientific texts suggests a strong command to determine communicative and semantic structure of the text. However, this process is complicated by information saturation of a scientific text, which on the level of linguistic interpretation manifests in a high frequency of syntactic constructs with complex communicative and semantic structure. Using the example of one of such structures (sentences with gerundive turn as an adverbial), the author examines the peculiarities of teaching the aspects of precis writing, which are related to the analysis of semantic structure of the text and develop the following skills: the ability to determine communicative significance of thematic sequence that ensure logical-semantic integrity of the text, as well as ability to segment the English sentence considering its syntactic specificities...
