Современная английская шутка в аспекте интертекстуальности

Опубликованная в том же году книга «Интертекстуальность: теоретические и практические проблемы» впервые рассматривает проблему с разных сторон: с точки зрения теории культуры, теории литературы, анализа текста. Однако говорить о том, что здесь интертекст выступает как лингвистическая категория, на наш взгляд, преждевременно. Хотя попытки несомненны. Интертекстуальность здесь рассматривается как…

Явление вариантности форм родительного падежа множественного числа в современном русском языке

Подъем производительности труда во времена Андропова был вызван, на мой взгляд, не только страхом, которым пытаются все объяснить современные политологи, а, в первую очередь — ощущением того, что в России больше нет «неприкасаемых священных индийских коров», что даже генерал, пойманный в бане, без погонов, а с женщинами, может лишиться погонов как простой прапорщик.

Adam Smith

Here then was a «machine» for growth — a machine that operated with all the reliability of the Newtonian system with which Smith was quite familiar. Unlike the Newtonian system, however, Smith’s growth machine did not depend for its operation on the laws of nature alone. Human nature drove it, and human nature was a complex rather than a simple force. Thus, the wealth of nations would grow only…
