The authors talk about the concept of the representation of the feminine self as a part gender studies and the fact that it becomes more and more acute; it deals with beauty stereotypes and takes one of the prominent places in practically all the western cultures. They mention that the basic aim for a literary work is conveying some specific cultural ideas, discursive peculiarities; however, it is important to understand that discourse cannot be regarded as a purely linguistic notion, it represents interests for psychologists, linguists, culture experts as well as scholars in the in the study of literature. The research touches upon the philosophy of Ayn Rand’s, i.e. objectivism. Her philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute. Further the authors argue that objectivism and feminism, specifically radical feminism, are concepts which may rarely be put together, as far as objectivism is extremely about individualism, while feminism struggles for collective result. In its turn feminism, especially radical feminism sees a number of misogynistic traits in objectivism and perceives the latter as a ‘white male’ construct.

The role of English in the world in the 21st century has increased significantly. This is due, in particular, to the fact that it is spoken by approximately 31% of EU citizens, and for 16% it is mother tongue. Today, English has become the language of technology, science, culture, and business. This is evidenced by the fact that three-quarters of the world's correspondence, 80% of e-mail and the Internet content are in English. Most international documents, articles, literary works, instructions are written in English. Knowledge of English broadens the horizon, and allows people to learn more about the culture and customs of other peoples.Item Case Method: Structure and Content of a Case(Рівненський державний гуманітарний університет, Рівне, 2021) Muntian, Antonina O.; Shpak, Iryna V.ENG: According to the requirements of the Foreign Language Teaching Program and the State Standard, the practical purpose of teaching a foreign language in a comprehensive school and a higher education establishment is for students to form the ability to communicate in a foreign language. That is why the formed foreign language communicative competence becomes the basis for the realization of the linguistic, socio-cultural and sociolinguistic competences of pupils and students of Ukrainian higher education establishments. In order to achieve this goal, communicative methods and communicative techniques are used in the process of a foreign language teaching and learning.Item Case Method: Structure and Content of a Case (preprint)(Рівненський державний гуманітарний університет, Рівне, 2021) Muntian, Antonina O.; Shpak, Iryna V.EN: According to the requirements of the Foreign Language Teaching Program and the State Standard, the practical purpose of teaching a foreign language in a comprehensive school and a higher education establishment is for students to form the ability to communicate in a foreign language. That is why the formed foreign language communicative competence becomes the basis for the realization of the linguistic, socio-cultural and sociolinguistic competences of pupils and students of Ukrainian higher education establishments. In order to achieve this goal, communicative methods and communicative techniques are used in the process of a foreign language teaching and learning.Item Case Study Method: Why use it?(Scientific Publishing Center “Sci-conf.com.ua”, Rome, Italy, 2020) Muntian, Antonina O.; Shpak, Iryna V.EN: The issue of teaching a foreign language was been raised long time ago, but today, with the growing role of the English language, the issue of communication in English is being explored even more deeply. Scientists pay considerable attention to the concept of “communicative competence”. This concept emerged in the teaching of foreign language in the 80's, proposed by his American scientist D. Himes, who interpreted communicative competence as an integrative entity, which includes not only linguistic but also socio-cultural components.Item Concept of Confinment in “The Diary” of Anne Frank(Scientific Publishing Center “Sci-conf.com.ua”, 2023) Muntian, Antonina O.ENG: Modern linguistic and literary sciences are greatly intertwined and dwell on a number of similar notions however under somewhat different angles.

Nowadays the interdisciplinary approach is becoming an integral part of scientific analysis, where cognitive linguistics is an integral part of cognitive science. It is widely accepted that one of the ways to analyze consciousness is through language matter and creating concept sphere, which in its turn is created by means of linguistic concepts. In the course of research the author reaches the understanding that the term “linguistic concept’ is to some extent narrow, as far as this type of concept should be analyzed not only from the point of view of linguistic, but from the point of literature as well, as far as this angle is not less important for concept sphere formation. The analysis of the concept is conducted with the relevance to other spheres of cognitive science, and using methods not peculiar solely to classical linguistics.Item Efficiency Estimation of the Shaped Hot Rolled Steel Product Mix of India and Ukraine(Національний університет будівництва і архітектури, Київ, 2019) Gaidaichuk, Victor V; Bannikov, Dmytro O.; Radkevych, Anatolii V.; Muntian, Antonina O.ENG: The publication presents main results of the performed quantitative and qualitative analysis of modern shaped rolled metal products of India, which is used for structural steel members. Its efficiency was compared to the current domestic product range of Ukraine on the example of angle bars, channel sections and flanged beams. Special attention is paid to the system of designations and marking of product mix items. The publication presents the main results of the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the modern hot rolled steel assortment of India, which is used for steel building structures. The shaped hot rolled steel products are considered, represented in the standards of both countries by four types of profiles – equal leg angles, unequal leg angles, channel and beams. Special attention is paid to the system of designations and labeling of products of the assortment. In general, it should be noted that the overall organization and principle of construction of the analyzed assortments of India and Ukraine are quite similar. The main fundamental difference is the availability in the standard of India of a wider range of profile varieties within one step, which makes it possible to more efficiently choose the required section in the design. However, the step itself is widely than in domestic standards, which negates such dignity. Angels profiles in the Indian assortment have a wider range of thicknesses and are represented by a large number of sizes, especially for unequal leg angles, which is connected with a significant distribution of such profiles in the supporting elements of steel structures. Channel profiles in general have approximately the same degree of efficiency and the number of standard sizes in the assortments of both countries. In the standard of India, profiles with flange slopped shelves are displayed in more way and, in the domestic standard, with parallel shelves. Beam profiles have the largest number of sizes in both assortments, but unlike the domestic standard in India's standard, they are presented only in cross-sections with flange slopped shelves. In this case, the profiles aimed at bending, according to the domestic assortment have specific characteristics averaged on 15 – 40 % higher with a less on 30 – 40 % by weight. For profiles of heavy series, oriented also on the perception of longitudinal forces, sections in the Indian assortment have higher specific characteristics and less weight on average by 20 – 30 %.Item The Fountainhead: Similes and Repetitions for Ellsworth Toohey’s Artistic Image Actualization(Przemyśl, 2020) Muntian, Antonina O.EN: The given piece is an attempt to analyze some stylistic devices used by an American writer Ayn Rand in the novel “The Fountainhead” to actualize and verbalize the artistic image of Ellsworth Toohey’s .

The subjects of the study are four main male literary characters: Howard Roark, Peter Keating, Gale Wynand and Ellsworth Toohey. The authors of the article set themselves the task of analyzing a number of relevant scientific works devoted to problems of verbalization, actualization, and the use of stylistic techniques used by the writers of literary fiction (on the example of the novel by Ayn Rand) to create an artistic image, which in its turn should interact with the readership and convey the ideas of the writer in question. The authors of the current investigation conclude that the artistic literary images of Ayn Rand's novel “The Fountainhead” are verbalized with the help of a wide range of stylistic devices and other expressive means; Ayn Rand effectively transmits the verbalized emotional state, involving the main of its components: situational, evaluative, sociocultural, lingno-cognitive, and the like.Item The Fountainhead: Stylistic Devices for Gale Wynand’s Artisctic Image Actualization(Science and Education LTD, Sheffield, 2019) Muntian, Antonina O.EN: The given piece is an attempt to analyze some stylistic devices used by an American writer Ayn Rand in the novel “The Fountainhead” to actualize and verbalize the artistic image of Gale Wynand’s. In the course of the research the author comes to the conclusion that among many other stylistic devices Ayn Rand uses repetitions for the expressiveness of language, rhetorical questions for enhancement of statements, etc.Item Gender Discourse of “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini(Ужгородський національний університет, Ужгород, 2020) Muntian, Antonina O.; Shpak, Iryna V.EN: This piece aims to investigate some aspects of gender discourse verbalization in modern literature on the basis of the fiction novel “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini. The piece in question aims to research two main female characters of the novel: Laila and Mariam in terms of feminism and feminist discourse actualization under religious (Muslim) norms. The history of women's struggle for their rights, despite the fact that this struggle is an integral part of human history, is almost unknown to the vast majority of citizens, both men and women. It is only in recent decades that feminism has become the subject of public debate, research, and in sometimes, even a discipline at certain universities. The struggle of women for their rights, both political and economic, cultural and, above all, social began to gain momentum with the advent of suffragism and this process is still far from being over. Recently, interest in women's history has increased significantly, as women's position in society is an acute social problem. However, despite all the achievements of feminism, men still prevail in all spheres of life, especially when it comes to countries whose citizens profess Islam and obey Sharia law. The ideology of feminism, which became widespread in the mid-twentieth century, has greatly influenced the way women think, live, and behave in society. During its development, feminism has emerged in different directions, which, in turn, have formed under the influence of society. Gender discourse analysis is one area of critical discursive research that focuses on establishing the correspondence between the gender structure of society and the gender asymmetric structures of discursive practices. Analyzing a number of scientific works (philosophical, literary, linguistic, etc.) The authors come to the conclusion that linguopragmatic aspect is of utmost importance for a literary fiction writer trying to introduce both literary and linguistic concepts (as well as philosophical) peculiar to the discourse in question: Khaled Hosseini portrays his female characters as fighters, not as victims, which is a rather extreme idea for Muslim communities, especially rural Muslim communities of the past and present.Item Genre Structure VS. Literary Concepts in “The Butterfly Garden” by Dot Hutchison(Державний вищий навчальний заклад «Ужгородський національний університет», Ужгород, 2021) Muntian, Antonina O.; Shpak, Iryna V.ENG: The purpose of the given piece is an attempt to analyze some aspects of the structure of a literary piece belonging to a genre of mass literature, i.e., a thriller and the relevance and importance of this structure comparing to the ideas and concepts conveyed by the author in the literary work. In the current investigation the authors dwell on the defining a genre of thriller and both compare and contrast it with an older and rather more established genre of the detective story. To achieve the goal both cultural and historical method and comparative and historical method will be used. The first method will give us opportunity to trace national peculiarities, which influence the whole literary piece in terms of pragmatics: help us to understand the authors ideas, which should be conveyed to the readership, from the socio-cultural point of view, whereas the second method will give us a perspective on modern products of not only mass literature but of mass culture on the whole. The basis for the current study is scientific pieces by both domestic and foreign scholars, which are devoted to the problems of literary reception and intercultural aspect of modern literary pieces. A thriller is a genre of mass literature and naturally has umpteen elements peculiar to this part of literature; however there are some idiosyncratic features as well. In the course of the research, it becomes obvious that a thriller novel may not have a strict genre frame, however, one of the main distinctive features for a thriller is presence of suspense: psychological tension, which comes into a novel and does not let readership lose their attention till the last pages. To illustrate the irrelevance of the rigid structure in comparison with the significance of ideas and notions recognition by the readership when we deal with a piece belonging to mass literature, the authors have chosen a thriller novel by Dot Hutchison “The Butterfly Garden” (2017). In our opinion this novel lacks the traditional structure, however, falls into the category of thriller novels due to the features pertinent to the genre, which are kept in the novel.Item Genre Structure VS.

Rowlng’s series about Harry Potter in Ukraine and Russia. In the course of research the authors come to conclusion that perception of the novels in Ukraine and Russia differs greatly. It is idiosyncratic for Ukraine to deal with practical aspect of reception such as translation and adaptation, while in Russia the accent is on the theoretical level of the reception.Item Humanistic Intention of Dystopia in "The Giver" by Lois Lowry(Дніпровський національний університет залізничного транспорту імені академіка В. Лазаряна, Дніпро, 2021) Muntian, Antonina O.; Shpak, Iryna V.EN: Purpose. The aim of this piece is to study the manifestations of humanistic pursuits in a literary fiction work. The main interest is related to the interpretation of those existential and sociocultural concepts that underlie the dys-topian novel by Lois Lowry. The theoretical basis of the study is based on works on phenomenology and the theo-ry of reader reception. The method of phenomenology is a descriptive method: the phenomena of consciousness cannot be reduced to limited cognitive forms, and therefore language and means of description are important along with their ability to reveal consciousness through phenomena. Originality of the study lies in the investigation of the humanistic aspect of a dystopian society, depicted in the modern literary fiction. The main attention is focused on the phenomenological identification of existential ideas and their manifestation in the literary characters of the given work. The conclusions speak about the tendencies of humanization and dehumanization of a man and society in the context of philosophical, ethical and aesthetic issues, which are the most important and urgent problems of our time. The current study finds out that in the modern dystopian literature and philosophy, the main subject of atten-tion is a human. This human is perceived and depicted as a phenomenon that cannot be grasped by the notions ofintimation and essence. The human is a creature whose freedom presupposes a constant departure from nature and habitual reality to the realm of transcendent through the desire to comprehend his or her certain way of existence.
