The main objective of the study is to determine the types of interaction between metaphors and similes in the texts of modern Russian prose. The material of the study is the works of Buida, Vodolazkin, Ivanov, Ilichevsky, Matveeva, Pelevin, Rubina, Slavnikova, Sokolov, Sorokin, and Stepnova. The authors employed the methods of description, comparison and the structural-semantic analysis and also took into account the semantic field organisation of lexical units. The article distinguishes between formal and semantic interaction of metaphors and similes. The most obvious manifestation of the formal interaction is the reversibility of tropes. Semantic interaction is based on the semantic coordination of elements of comparative constructions based on predicate-actant relations or involves a combination of metaphors and similes in the text based on various relations between elements of the same semantic ...

Desertification is in the process of disappearance ten thousand villages, which continues its devastating pace. The article addressed the issue of the revival of Russian villages, construction, and upgrading of rural settlements based on the realization of the Federal program "sustainable development of rural territories in the years 2014-2017 and for the period up to 2020". Revival and construction of rural settlements today mainly involves the development of agricultural holdings on the basis of which will be established equipped agricultural town. Any country associated with a particular way of perceiving not only significant monuments of its culture and architecture but also the types of rural settlements. The village is not a business project, and the lifestyle of a Russian man, a certain way of all cultural, social and economic relations. Currently, the increase of rural settlements and revitalizing rural life is happening on several fronts: a) building settlements with agro holdings; b) farms; c) creating few ecovillage; d) Renaissance village through the townspeople-truckers as a new phenomenon. Types of rural settlements in Russia are very diverse. They are, first and foremost, the landscape of the countryside, the direction of agricultural production, ethnic features. In residential areas with recreational and cultural potentials, farms should be promoted and personal subsidiary farms, which will focus on quality and a variety of agricultural products. The revival of villages and rural areas concerned, first and foremost, the provincial small farmsteads landlords "high hand", little known locations of handicrafts. It is proposed to simplify the legislation documents for the category of "noteworthy" in relation to the territories of rural settlements with historical and cultural potential.

Specifically, the analysis focuses on personifying metaphors related to the semantic class of ‘Language and speech’ and the lexical-semantic group Information search and receipt’. The study aims to determine the functioning of these lexical units in Russian poetry, identify the semantic classes of the objects of personification they are combined with, and establish their role in the organisation of the poetic text and connection with the poet's worldview. The research uses the Poetic Subcorpus of the Russian National Corpus as its material and employs corpus, semantic field, and structural-functional analysis methods. The results show a higher frequency of words with the meaning ‘Information receipt than Information search’ as personifiers, with varying distribution over the comparison of ‘question-answer’ images. The analyzed figurative language introduc...

Цель статьи – выявление новых тенденций в употреблении таких компаративных конструкций в современной прозе по сравнению с предшествующим периодом развития русской литературы. В работе очерчен круг основных тематических групп названий еды и напитков, используемых в прозаических текстах, и отмечены изменения в их составе и характере. Выявлены новые элементы в семантических классах опорных слов метафор и сравнений. Отмечается тенденция к дифференциации и конкретизации образов сравнения в рассматриваемых конструкциях, характерная для современной прозы, и определяются средства ее реализации (видовые наименования и уточняющие распространители). Рассматриваются новые предметы сравнения и образные параллели, используемые в современных прозаических текстах.

The authors analyse the works of A. Varlamov, E. Vodolazkin, A. Ivanov, A. Matveeva, Z. Prilepin. The purpose of the research is to identify and describe the key figurative fields of different types in modern fiction. The key figurative field is defined as a set of lexical units of one semantic field, acting as images of comparative constructions (metaphors and similes), which is directly related to the development of the theme and plot of the work, its ideological and aesthetic content, to the characteristics of the main characters, and performs a text-forming function in the work of fiction. The analysis has identified three main types of such fields: 1. The field, whose composition is determined by the theme of the work; 2. The field, whose choice of units is motivated by the type of the protagonist and his point of view; 3. The field, determined by the ideological and aesthetic content of the wo...

The purpose of this work is to examine the functioning of comparative constructions, including images of food and drinks, in modern Russian prose. The article suggests thematic groups of the images, which are often used to characterize various objects. The results show that the most voluminous and frequent in use are names of fl our products, dairy products and cereals. The article analyses the objects of comparison, among which the most frequent are the units associated with the image of a person, his/her appearance, emotions and behavior. There is a tendency to specify and detail the images of food and drinks in the composition of comparative structures, which is manifested in the regular use of specifi c names and qualifying definitions. It is shown that gastronomic comparative constructions perform various functions in modern literary texts: a characterological fun...

National wealth, including landscapes and waters, should be preserved and used. It is necessary to revive small and medium-sized cities, which carry the main genetic stock of the country's culture. Low-rise construction opens up broad prospects for socioeconomic development by creating jobs, increasing the current level of environmental comfort, improving environmental performance, and relative cheapness compared to the construction of multi-storey buildings. The territories allocated for low-rise buildings are based on consideration of ecological-geographical, medicalhygienic, landscape-planning and historical-cultural factors. Low-rise buildings exert extensive loads on the natural complex and do not cause irreversible changes.

Водолазкина «Авиатор», тропы подразделяются на две группы: концептуализирующие и несюжетообразующие. Отмечаются основные семантические типы компаративных тропов как по предмету, так по образу сравнения. Показано, что тропы взаимодействуют друг с другом и образуют в тексте систему. Подчеркивается динамичность метафор и сравнений в произведении: они регулярно отражают меняющееся во времени восприятие героя. Компаративные тропы играют важную роль в развертывании ключевых мотивов романа, связаны с его разными темпоральными и субъектно-речевыми планами.

Human". Personification is considered as constructions of metaphors and similes with the meaning of personalization, that is, comparative tropes with the vehicles belonging to the "Human" semantic category. The methodology is based on ideographic and chronological principles which allow us to summarize the information on the composition of comparative trope system and its development in the course of time.
