Experimental Study Of Polysemous Words Semantics In The Light Of Invariant Approach

“…The problem of polysemous word commonalities remains unsolved until now, since all researchers have not reached a united conclusion of the way language speakers operate all the meanings of a polysemous word, the way they are stored in the mental lexicon, and the way language speakers decode figurative meanings while creating new ones (Pesina & Yusupova, 2015).

In our research, we mainly concentrate on adopting CLIL approach in higher education.…”

Cat And Lingvo Tutor Tools In Educational Glossary Making For Non-Linguistic Students

“…Nowadays it is becoming common for sophisticated educational programs to resort to such method as CLIL, which implies simultaneous immersion both into language and content of specific subject.
