Linguocultural peculiarities of concept adolescent in the English and Lak languages
A comparative analysis is made of English and Lak lexemes actualizing the concept
‘adolescent’. The given concept forms a part of the macroconcept ‘man’, one of the basic

inherent in the examined linguocultural entities. The comparative analysis of the concept
‘adolescent’ in the languages under study has revealed a much greater number of lexemes
constituting this concept in the English language in comparison with Lak, but, in distinction

representation of the language personality of the author. The art is shown to be the “artificial”
language, and a work of art is the „text“ in which the author conveys the coded meaning.

in the Russian and Adyghe languages. The author shows the composite nature of the
concept itself which dictates need of its consideration from various points of view: logical
partitioning (a sentence as a means of formation and expression of thought); syntactic
partitioning (a sentence as a grammatical unit) and actual division (a sentence as a means
of communication). It is inferred that a word order in the sentence is multiaspectual,
implementing various functions. It is possible to speak only about the usual and unusual
word order which is not complicated by other factors.

or more words, thus producing composites, which confirms close relationship of Abkhaz-
Adyghe languages on the morphological and word-building level.

Factuality and estimation as integrative phenomenon of the media text
The factuality and estimation are examined as the main intentions, the system row
position and categorial stability of which allow explanation for correlation of the fact and
assessment within journalistic work with the growing need of mass media for integrative
phenomena. Efficiency in this process of an onym is noted. It is established that as a result of
language transformation of the facts into opinion the semantic field of information receives,
as a rule, an implicit form of speech implementation. Indirect meanings «draw in detail» the
object of criticism ambiguously, hinting at the conceptual content of a naive picture of the world of object, rather than inform about it.
