    Specifics of philosophic and linguistic approaches to the central linguistic problems

    The paper addresses the problems which are investigated by the linguistic philosophy and the philosophy of language. The linguistic philosophy is based on the analysis of the word meanings of natural languages and logic relations between them. The philosophy of language is aimed at evaluating the essential characteristics of a language and a word. The discrepancies in views of philosophers of language and linguists on principal language problems are also examined. The conclusions contain the differences in approaches to the investigations of the basic linguistic notion – a word – of the philosophers of language and linguists.

    Sign problem as a tool of cognition of sociocultural reality

    This paper discusses a problem of a sign as a tool of cognition of sociocultural reality. This theme is topical because it is poor-studied in the domestic literature. The goal of the paper is to establish the tool role of a sign in investigations of sociocultural reality. The object of study is the sign component of sociocuoltural reality. The subject is a role of a sign in the course of cognition of the given reality. The author discloses the gnoseological sense of a sign. It is inferred that the sign not only connects the person with a thing, providing an opportunity of its cognition, but it also “isolates” a thing (and subsequently isolates itself), taking up an ontologic sense. In addition, the sign is ambivalent, it possesses simultaneously both the features directly following from its definition (i.e. the features of its actual sign nature), and the features denying its own nature.

    The deterioration in the USA - Iran relations after a victory of Islamic revolution and attempt of the President of the United States J. Carter to release the American hostages in Tehran (1979-1981)

    During the regime of the American president J. Carter the USA-Iran relations have changed from allied to confronting in connection with Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979 and the anti-American policy of the new Islamic regime in Tehran in the 1970 – 1980s. The government of the ayatollah R.M. Homeini aspired to create «Islamic caliphate» in the Middle East, which would have its political-economical and religious centre in Islamic Republic of Iran and, thereby, to weaken positions of Washington in the Middle East region. Administration of J. Carter was the first to introduce economic sanctions toward Islamic Republic of Iran as a reaction to the capture of the American embassy in Tehran on November, 4th, 1979, and keeping its diplomatic personnel as hostages. The crisis with the American hostages in Iran has become the determining factor which affected defeat of J. Carter and victory of R. Reagan on the presidential elections of 1980 in the USA.
