Promise: Semantic, Communicative and Temporal Aspects

Abstract

The article touches upon different aspects of promise – as a speech act, as a means of communication. The theme of promise is analysed in its relation to various areas of philosophical studies: the problem of the subject’s identity, the problem of society as a system of interpersonal interactions, the problem of performative utterances and etc. The methodological basis includes primarily the speech act theory developed by J. Austin and J. Searle’s speech-act theory, genetically related to it. Interpretation of promise in its ontological aspect is considered mainly by comparing the views of F. Nietzsche, J. Derrida and P. Ricoeur.

"Fantastic Realia: Some Lexical Correspondences (Russian-Romanian)"

“…Studies in the field of folklore, mythology, symbolism, cultural anthropology, and cross-cultural studies are necessary in interpreting the "new" forms (mythonyms) that we find in fantasy literature, film productions, the world of video games, etc. Just as "there is no serious reason to isolate fairy tales from myths" (Lévi-Strauss apud Monin et al 2019), there is no reason to isolate folk creations from cult ones when it comes to their mythological dimension, since they can be studied together. i The guidance in the world of video games was offered by Andrei Greculescu, a 3 rd year student in Modern Applied Languages, majoring in English and Russian.…”
