2019
Introduction. The study is connected with the issues of electronic corpora of historical sources and diachronic linguistic corpora and is based on office documents of the 18 th c. reserved in the Mikhailovsky Stanitsa Ataman archive fund (State Archive of Volgograd region). Methods and materials. The article considers donosheniya and reports as the main documents that were submitted from lower to higher authorities and had "donoshenie" (message, report) and "report" (report) designation. Solving source meta-markup problems the author examines the origin and meaning of words "donoshenie" and "report", analyzes the content and functions of the documents, their text format and verbal formulas representing the components of the form. Analysis. The paper shows that the words have different origin, but common semantics reflecting the document function. Word "report" entered the Russian language in the early 18 th century as a synonym for the original "donoshenie". Initially, relevant documents were not distinguished, but gradually they were differentiated not only by name. Donosheniya can come from military men and civilians often contain a message and request. Reports are used mainly between host and stanitsa atamans, other military officials and are mostly informative documents. Reports are also often used as accompanying documents for other documents. The text format of donoshenie and report has similarities, but can be represented by different verbal formulas. As an accompany document report has a more concise and simple structure. Results. The author concludes that including donoshenie and report to the created source corpus as independent documents is necessary for faciliting their search and more exact representation of using language units. Standard speech markers can be applied for automatic recognition of texts as well. Волгоградский государственный университет, г. Волгоград, Российская Федерация Аннотация. Введение.

Knowledge, Education, Law, Management, 2021
This paper is devoted to the characteristics of the family and the network of family ties of the villagers of the Ukrainian Cossack state of the Hetmanate in the second half of the 18th century. On the example of the most numerous microgroup of rural society – the Cossacks, the indicators of household population and family size, the generational composition, typology and structure of family households are analyzed. The calculations were made on the basis of accounting data of confessional registers of three villages of the Lubny regiment of the Hetmanate (later – Pyriatyn county of the Kyiv vicegerency) named Davydivka, Povstyn and Kharkivtsi. The research is based on the method of determining the structure of family households of the British historian Peter Laslett, which is widespread in modern historical demography. As a result of the conducted research, it was found that during the second half of the 18th century among the Cossack population of the analyzed villages, complex forms of family organization prevailed. The obtained data are close to similar indicators calculated by Ukrainian researchers in relation to other rural settlements of the Hetmanate.

The importance of symbols of power, such as seals, bunchuks or flags, can hardly be overestimated. Their appearance in one or another form testifies the legalization of a certain organization, institution, community. That is why the proposed article is devoted to the peculiarities of this process, of the process of institutionalization at the Transdanubian Cossacks and Danube Cossacks during the last quarter of XVIII-XIX centuries. It is suggested to consider this processes through materials of sphragistics, vexillology and spatial localization, such as seals, bunchuks, flags, etc. It was found that the emergence of these symbols of power first reflected the legalization and integration into a certain state system of the certain Cossack institution-Sich or the army. Secondly, in each of these institutions, the seals and flags displayed symbols of the corresponding state-the Ottoman or Russian Empire, sometimes with respect for the Cossack past. For example, it should be remembered combining the symbols of Islam with Christianity in the flags of the Transdanubian Cossacks, or providing the incisions (maces) to the Danube Cossacks in Russia. All these symbols kept for the Cossacks their traditions of life and respect to their glory.
