The name of this "successful" poet and turn-coat of Russian extraction does not tell you much, but her words define her as someone who knows a taste of the Great:
'I remember the first book that set my soul on fire was Turgenev's masterpiece 'First Love'', she said, adding: 'Reading the author's description of how the male protagonist falls in love for the first time, those emotions resonated with me so strongly, it was as if a hand reached out from the past and it has stayed with me ever since.

ANY THOROUGH DESCRIPTION OF THE LANGUAGE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE FACTOR OF AMBIVALENCE: "Accepting that no two consciousnesses can ever have transparency, or at any rate can never have certainty about it, leaves us on some level cosmically alone," Sullivan writes. "Spinoza takes the notion in stride. He'd be more prone to say, Well, no doubt we sometimes understand each other." |

“When people talk, they do a lot of role-playing, side-step, shilly-shally, and engage in other forms of vagueness and innuendo. We all do this, and we expect others to do it, yet at the same time we profess to long for plain speaking, for people to get to the point and say what they mean. Such hypocrisy is a human universal. Even in the bluntest societies, people don’t just blurt out what they mean but cloak their intentions in various forms of politeness, evasion, and euphemism.” [Pinker, 2007: 374] |

If you’ve ever tried to explain a meme to your grandparent – or if you’re the puzzled grandparent – you know how big the cultural divide among generations can be. And while all-caps ‘yelling’, misunderstood emojis and other crossed wires are harmless in a family group text, business communication is maymore fraught. Send your boss the goat emoji, and instead of realising it’s a compliment (she’s the greatest of all time!) she might think you’re calling her, well, a goat. sourse of information: |

“In comparison to you, we are soft and fluffy,” Putin told a BBC correspondent who had asked whether Russia bore responsibility for the worsening in relations of late. Russian scientists have been hard at work developing a Covid vaccine as part of the international competition to end the pandemic. Despite pressure to rush out the vaccine as a global first, and reports of government employees being forced to take part in voluntary trials, the data suggests that Russia’s vaccine may be a success. (That said, despite trumpeting the achievement, Putin has declined to take it so far.) sourse of information: |

This could lead to a belief that ‘the’ is a workhorse of English; functional but boring. Yet Rosen rejects that view. While primary school children are taught to use ‘wow’ words, choosing ‘exclaimed’ rather than ‘said’, he doesn’t think any word has more or less ‘wow’ factor than any other; it all depends on how it’s used. “Power in language comes from context... ‘the’ can be a wow word,” he says. This simplest of words can be used for dramatic effect. At the start of Hamlet, a guard’s utterance of ‘Long live the King’ is soon followed by the apparition of the ghost: ‘Looks it not like the King?’ Who, the audience wonders, does ‘the’ refer to? The living King or a dead King? This kind of ambiguity is the kind of ‘hook’ that writers use to make us quizzical, a bit uneasy even. “‘The’ is doing a lot of work here,” says Rosen. sourse of information: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20200109-is-this-the-most-powerful-word-in-the-english-language |

«С нынешними способами общения гораздо больше шансов на недопонимание», - говорит Жизель Ковари, исследователь поколений и президент консалтинговой фирмы n-gen People Performance, Inc. в Торонто. «В цифровой среде много шума, и если мы не болтаем вживую, вещи могут быть неправильно истолкованы. Молодым работникам официальное деловое общение старшего поколения может показаться очень холодным и немного резким, в то время как молодые люди критикуют себя слишком непринужденно ». sourse of information: |

Can Biden whack Russia for its latest big hack? Retaliation is the easy part. Calibrating the entire U.S. response will be far more delicate task. Politico (США): сможет ли Байден вздуть Россию за последний взлом? sourse of information: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/21/biden-russia-hack-449762 |

(Немцы поднимают большой палец и первые два пальца; британцы зажимают мизинец большим пальцем, а остальные поднимают.) Большинство никогда не осознают, что это различие существует, пока не увидят альтернативу, которая для них выглядит странной. Некоторые сигналы могут быть случайными причудами, которые прижились. Другие могли служить определенной цели. Говорят, что Владимир Путин демонстрирует свои навыки обращения с оружием в КГБ, когда он ходит, его «рука с оружием» неподвижно висит рядом с ним. С момента своего первоначального открытия Марш и Эльфенбейн обнаружили больше этих «невербальных акцентов» - физических способов, которыми мы, не осознавая, показываем, откуда пришли. Американцы, например, могут отличить австралийцев по тому, как они улыбаются, машут руками или ходят. sourse of information: https://termcoord.eu/2016/09/finger-counting-around-the-world/ |
