Poetry of Boris Poplavsky is a phenomenon quite interesting for Russian literature. His texts in most critical works are assessed as experimental, complex, shocking. For Poplavsky, a special role was played not only by the form, but also by the syncretic consolidation of heterogeneous poetic devices, in particular, surreal ones. The purpose of this article is to identify the signs of surrealism in the poet's lyrical heritage. In the course of the study, the receptive approach seems to be the most effective, since it will allow not only to determine the poet's choice of artistic means, but also generalize the aesthetic principles of the author's worldview. Open visualization of Boris Poplavsky's texts marks the orientation towards the laws of surrealism. Effective for the poet is an escape from reality, immersion in an unreal, conditionally visible space. Consequently, the actual task of lyrics is reduced not to a literal display of realities, but to the concretization of a possible, intuitive deciphering of phenomena, processes, even oneself. An independent view of the world, abstraction and independence, building a new paradigm of artistry, provocation, creative dialogue in the listening mode - this is what distinguishes the poetry of Boris Poplavsky among poets of the early twentieth century. The work can become a certain impulse for the creation of new works with an emphasis on the principles of surrealism of the specified author. An alternative view in the art of modernism, with all the reluctance to follow the classics, still does not exclude the dualistic beginning. Boris Poplavsky is a holistic figure, parametric, complex, in fact, this is what actualizes the discussion qualification of the analysis of his texts. The poetics of surrealism gave the poet the opportunity to reveal the probable volume of connotations of the visual level, to bring the philosophy of assessing reality to a systemic, hierarchical paradigm. This material can be used in university practice, as well as in the study of the work by Boris Poplavsky.

The article examines the problems in teaching the Russian language that teachers face when working with medical students studying in an intermediary language. The early stage of language learning for such students causes the greatest difficulty, therefore, the importance of increased attention and the search for additional teaching methods in order to introduce diversity into the learning process and increase motivation to learn is emphasized. The ways of solving such difficulties based on the analysis of their occurrence are proposed.

For students whose Russian is not the main language of instruction, the issue of motivation causes the greatest difficulties. The author notes the great role of communication between teachers and students in increasing motivation to study. The issue of the lack of specialized textbooks for such a category of students is also being considered, which significantly affects the effectiveness of the educational process. In addition, the author raises the question of how much a language teacher should know about the material of a medical specialty. Since the main purpose of teaching medical students is the development of early professionalization, a Russian teacher is a guide to mastering medical terminology from scratch, therefore he must know the material to a minimum extent. But in practice, many universities lack the necessary training of teachers and the necessary measures for professional development in the specialty.

Such means of expressive syntax as connecting and parceled constructions were discussed in the article. Discussion questions were presented. In particular, the issue of the proximity of adjunction and parcellation, the status of adjunct constructions located outside the main sentence after the period, was considered. Using methods of description, observation, comparison, analysis and synthesis, the author offers an original understanding of the essence of connecting and parceled structures. They are still interpreted ambiguously in the linguistic literature. Much attention is paid to the criteria for their delimitation and analysis of the famous postulate of V.V. Babaytseva. Contrary to the opinion of the professor and her supporters, the author is convinced that there is no annexation without dismemberment and, conversely, dismemberment without annexation. These are interdependent processes that cannot exist one without the other. The author believes that the formation of parceled structures takes place in four stages, which are determined by short, intensive procedural actions. In the composition of parceled structures, as research shows, two varieties are clearly visible: a) parceled structures and b) parceled connecting structures. The scientific value of the work lies in the proof of the closeness of connecting and parceled constructions, supported by both the methods of their formation and semantics. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using its results to analyze specific language material, including in the process of teaching Russian language to students at Kazakh universities. The conclusion that connecting and parceled constructions located outside the main sentence, after a period, should be considered as a single structural-semantic formation of the Russian language was made.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the development of the genre of philological prose against the background of the polemic between the schools of M. Bakhtin and Russian formalists. The article examines the process of the formation of the philological novel in the 1920s, when significant genre shifts took place in literature, as well as the reflection of this process in the works of such authors as Vaginov, Tynyanov, Nabokov, Shklovsky. The article explores key topics and issues related to the evolution of philological prose, with special attention paid to the concepts of intertextuality, philological reflection and metatextuality. Through a comparative analysis of the works of Leonid and Daniil Andreev, the author reveals how the themes of existential crisis and spiritual enlightenment are processed and developed in their texts. The main focus is on how Daniil Andreev transforms his father's ideas, offering new ways to spiritual rebirth and harmony. An important role in the study is assigned to the work "The Rose of the World", which is a complex metaphysical text combining cultural and philosophical concepts with an extensive philological apparatus covering texts from different historical eras. It is noted that in Daniil Andreev's works, metatextual elements play a key role in building the structure and conveying philosophical ideas, which distinguishes his work from his predecessors. The author concludes that Daniil Andreev's works represent a unique stage in the development of the genre of philological prose, where literary heritage is integrated into a metaphysical system, and philological and existential themes find new forms of expression. This allows us to consider the philological prose of D. Andreeva as an important stage in the evolution of Russian literature, synthesizing artistic and spiritual principles, creating new opportunities for literary reflection and metaphysical search.

The scientific article aims at elucidating Relevance theory, put forward by Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson in 1986, within the context of cognitive science and linguistics. It focuses on cognitive and communicative principles, its difference from Grice's cooperative principle and its role in deciphering irony by means of echoic expressions. The theory of relevance is set forth through key aspects such as cognitive and communicative principles, contextual effects, processing efforts, and its role in decoding irony through echoic expressions. The objective of the scientific article is to provide a detailed analysis of Relevance theory, underscoring its advantages over Grice's cooperative principle and its applicability in deciphering irony. The article centers on displaying how relevance theory strikes the balance of contextual effects and processing efforts, making communication more predictable and comprehensible. In addition, it targets at displaying how echoic expressions allow for comprehending ironic utterances and shape relationships between conversationalists. Main provisions of the article:

1. Relevance is determined through the balance between contextual effects and processing efforts required to process information. A message is considered more relevant when it generates significant contextual effects with minimal processing efforts.
2. Unlike the Cooperative principle, which calls for high cooperation and adherence to all maxims (Quality, Quantity, Manner, Relation), relevance theory centers on attaining mutual understanding without the need for excessive details.
3. Irony is viewed as a form of echoic utterance, where the addresser echoes a thought or utterance with a critique or disapproving attitude. The addressee is required to identify the contrast between the literal meaning and the addresser’s attitude, making the ironic message relevant through its layered interpretation. This approach allows for a profound comprehension of irony beyond merely implying the opposite meaning.

This study explores the evolution of literary representations of natural disasters, tracing their transformation from mythological to scientific interpretations across various cultures and historical periods. Natural disasters have significantly influenced human cultures, belief systems, and literary traditions, serving as both cautionary tales and reflections of societal values. By examining key literary works – from ancient texts like the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh to contemporary climate fiction – this research highlights pivotal shifts in how societies understand and depict catastrophic events. The analysis identifies themes such as the transition from supernatural explanations to naturalistic interpretations, the increasing emphasis on human agency in environmental crises, and the nuanced portrayals of resilience in the face of disaster. Notable literary figures, including Dante, Shakespeare, and modern authors like John Steinbeck, Kim Stanley Robinson, Julian Barns and others illustrate these trends, showing how narratives have adapted to reflect contemporary scientific knowledge and environmental awareness. This article also deals with the vital role literature plays in shaping societal perceptions of nature and disaster, revealing deeper cultural and intellectual shifts. By bridging historical literary analysis and current ecological concerns, the study demonstrates how narratives can foster a deeper understanding of humanity's relationship with the natural world and inform responses to ongoing environmental challenges. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the importance of literary discourse in addressing the urgent issues posed by climate change and natural disasters in the 21st century.

The article examines the literary concept, its characteristics and the embodiment of the peculiar features of literary concepts in religiously marked allusions in the literary text. In particular, the author clarifies the theoretical foundations of the literary concept, which is of huge importance in cognitive linguistics, text linguistics and literary studies and is at target of many scientific researches. The aim of the research is to justify that literary concept as a complex mental unit embraces a set of specificities all of which are transmitted to the semantic construct of religiously marked allusion - the verbal explication of literary concept in the literary text. The topicality and novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author scrutinizes the notion of concept from the perspectives of cognitive and literary approaches, generalizing all of the peculiarities of literary concept based on the review of the prior linguistic investigations. In addition, the author studies religiously marked allusions as the linguistic units that externalize literary concepts in the literary text, and assures that these linguistic units manifest all of the features inherent in the literary concept. To reach the research aim, the representation of literary concepts via religiously marked allusions is investigated on the basis of the analysis of a literary text. In the process of analysis, the researcher widely uses the method of conceptual analysis. According to the results of the analysis, religiously marked allusions representing literary concepts explicate the author’s individual conceptual world picture and his/her modality in the literary text.
