Development of New Materials
Development
of new constructional nonmetallic materials characterized by high
strength and fracture toughness as well as chemical inertness in
combination with high resistance to aggressive media over a wide
temperature range is an urgent problem of modern science of
materials. One of such materials is cermet – the composition of
ceramics and metal. A cermet is ideally designed to have the optimal
properties of both a ceramics, such as high temperature resistance
and hardness, and those of a metal, such as the ability to undergo
plastic deformation. The metal is used as a binder for an oxide,
boride, carbide, or alumina. Generally, the metallic elements used
are nickel, molybdenum, and cobalt.
Cermets are
used in the manufacture of resistors (especially potentiometers),
capacitors, and other electronic components which may experience high
temperatures. Cermets are being used instead of tungsten carbide in
saws and brazed tools due to their superior wear and corrosion
properties. More complex materials, known as Cermet 2 or Cermet II,
are being utilized since they give considerably longer life in
cutting tools. Some types of cermets are also being considered for
use as spacecraft shielding as they resist the high velocity impacts
of micrometeoroids and orbital debris much more effectively than more
traditional spacecraft materials such as aluminum and other metals.
Another
prominent constructional material is partially stabilized zirconia
(PSZ). It is a solid solution of zirconium dioxide with small
additions of yttrium, calcium or magnesium and other rare earth and
alkaline-earth metal oxides. Ceramic (polycrystalline) types of these
materials are extensively used worldwide today.
The
technology for manufacture of new synthetic cubic zirconia (fianit)
was originated by General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of
Sciences in the seventies when it developed a procedure for cold
melting dielectric materials.
The new
technology of synthesis of single crystals is highly efficient and
the project completely meets the ISTC (International Science and
Technology Centre) tasks and goals because the specific technologies
and methods previously developed for military application will be
used for synthesis and investigation of new advanced materials for
wide peaceful use.
Experimental
data accumulated by the authors of the project provide evidence for
principle possibility to govern synthesis of PSZ crystals with a
variety of pre-assigned physico-chemical properties that may be used
to produce components of various applications, such as:
-
cutting tools in machinery
and medicine; -
components of spacecraft
equipment; -
heavy-duty
units with resistance to thermal stress and fretting corrosion for
aerospace application; -
Tribo-conjugations in car and
air craft engines; -
Sliding and rolling bearings
and other heavy-duty friction units for operation under extreme
conditions.
The
governable synthesis technology will guarantee a many-fold increase
in reliability and service life of equipment operating under extreme
mechanical stress, corrosive media, radiation, intense
electromagnetic fields, elevated temperature, absence of lubrication,
etc. (bearings, engine values, dies, guides, cutters, prisms in
precise equipment).

It’s difficult to know where to start if you are new to teaching grammar. The first thing to know, is what you need to know about any given piece of language in order to help students use it properly for themselves.
The big 3 – meaning, pronunciation and form.
These are the three bare basics that need to be covered, for students to be able to start using a piece of grammar, a functional chunk, or some vocabulary to communicate.
Look at the following sentence;
“I’ve been teaching for eight years.”
This is an example of the present perfect continuous. Let’s say that you are going to teach this tense. Answer the following questions;
- Can the student communicate an idea effectively using this language, if they don’t know what it means and what it is used to express?
- Can they communicate an idea using this structure, if they cannot be understood because of the way they say it?
- Can they communicate an idea using this structure, if they cannot choose the correct words in the right order?
The answer to each of these questions is a definite ‘no’!
So, we need to know about these things (MEANING, PRONUNCIATION and FORM), if we are going to help students with them.
The meaning of the structure in the present perfect continuous sentence above (I’ve been teaching for eight years) is that an activity (teaching), started at a point in the past (8 years ago) and went on from then, up until now. The duration of the activity is emphasized. The activity probably hasn’t finished and may continue into the future.
If you, as the teacher don’t know this, then you cannot make sure students know it, and they won’t be able to correctly choose when to use this tense in their speaking or writing.
If we were teaching vocabulary, it should be no surprise to know that in order to teach the meaning of the word, we first need to know the meaning of that word ourselves. As with grammar, we may think we know what a word or phrase means (after all, we can use it correctly!) but that isn’t enough. We need to think about the meaning carefully in advance so that we can make it clear to students at their level. It’s surprising how difficult it is to clarify the meaning of something off the top of your head. The chances are you haven’t really thought about the meaning of the grammatical structure or the word you use on a daily basis. You just get on and use it!
Look at the underlined words below, and think about how you would define them, remembering that your definition needs to be very clear and simple. Suggested answers are given below.
- a rare steak
- a genius
- an antique
- to stroll
- oxygen
Answers:
- a rare steak – when meat is cooked only a little bit. It is usually very pink in colour and you may be able to see blood coming from it.
- a genius – a person who is a lot more intelligent than everyone else. For example, Einstein.
- an antique – an object often found in a house such as a piece of furniture, that is more than about one-hundred years old.
- to stroll – to walk in a slow and relaxed way.
- oxygen – what we breathe in to live.
There are a number of ways you could actually teach these words (e.g. by using a picture, a mime or a quick story) and definition may not always be the most appropriate, but you would still need to be clear on the meaning yourself before teaching, regardless of how you chose to teach them.
FORM
The form of a structure (e.g. of the present perfect continuous) is a little bit like a recipe. If I want to make any present perfect continuous sentence, which ingredients in terms of language do I need?
If we look at the following present perfect continuous sentences;
I ’ve been teaching for eight years.
He ’s been living there a long time.
They ’ve been waiting for ages.
We can see that although they are different sentences, they are all the same structure (present perfect continuous) and they all have the same form (or the same grammatical ingredients are needed to make each sentence).
The form of the sentences, can be represented as;
Subject + have / has + been + verb-ing
With this form (recipe), we can make any present perfect continuous positive statement. If we want to make a negative statement, the form will change a little.
For example;
I haven’t been learning English very long.
She hasn’t been doing her homework.
Subject + have/has + not + been + verb-ing
Now look at the following questions in the same tense, and try to work out the form. Answers follow.
Have you been waiting long?
Has she been going out with him for a long time?
So, the form of the questions is:
Have / Has + subject + been + verb-ing.
Functions
When teaching functions, we need to decide if highlighting the form would actually be useful to students. In other words, do the chunks of language for that function follow a grammatical pattern?
Let’s take the example of the function of asking for permission.
Look at three different ways of asking for permission that we might teach, and decide if you think there are any useful patterns in form we could highlight for students. The functional chunk is underlined.
Is it OK if I open the window?
Do you mind if I sit here?
Can I take this seat?
It would not be useful to grammatically analyse these chunks word by word as we did with the present perfect continuous, ( Do + mind + etc., wouldn’t really help students), but we could show them a useful pattern, as below. Using this form, students could create their own sentences with the functional chunks.
Is it OK if I
Do you mind if I + base form
Can I
Vocabulary
When teaching vocabulary, the form is essentially what kind of word we are using. Look at the words from earlier. What part of speech are they? (e.g. noun, verb etc.)
- a rare steak
- a genius
- an antique
- to stroll
- oxygen
Answers:
- a rare steak (adjective)
- a genius (noun)
- an antique (noun)
- to stroll (verb)
- oxygen (uncountable noun)
PRONUNCIATION
When we construct sentences and say them, we are doing things that don’t always come naturally to learners of English. It would be just the same for us, when learning a different language to our own. We can’t always get the sounds right. The words may sound different when said in isolation compared to when they are said in a sentence, and we may not know where to put emphasis. The voice may go up and down and we may have difficulty replicating this. We need to help our students with the same things when they are learning English.
Look at an example of the question form of the present perfect continuous:
Have you been waiting long?
Say the sentence, slowly and carefully, pronouncing every word separately, and clearly enunciating all the sounds. Now say it again naturally. The two sentences sound different. When we teach, we need to highlight how English sounds when spoken. So of course, we need to notice these changes ourselves, or we know what to point out for students.
As with grammar, if you are a native English speaker, the chances are you have never really thought about this. Below is an example of how we might represent for students all the things we do when we pronounce this sentence naturally.
The underlined words in the sentence are the ones that have the most weight, or stress.
Have you been waiting long?
/həvjə/
These symbols below the words ‘Have you’ represent the sounds we actually hear, rather than how the words are spelled.
When teaching functions or vocabulary, we also have to analyse the pronunciation for teaching. Let’s look at the same five words we saw earlier. To help students we would highlight how the word is said, perhaps by using the phonemic alphabet, and we could mark the stress, to show the number of syllables in the word and where the main stress is placed. We could also record the form – for vocabulary this is information about the part of speech.
(For more information about what any of these grammatical terms mean – see the terminology glossary.)

Approaches to Word Meaning
The Referential (analytical) approachThe Functional (contextual) approach
Operational (information-oriented) approach
-
7 слайд
The Referential (analytical) approach
formulates the essence of meaning by establishing the interdependence between words and things or concepts they denotedistinguishes between three components closely connected with meaning:
the sound-form of the linguistic sign,
the concept
the actual referent -
8 слайд
Basic Triangle
concept (thought, reference) – the thought of the object that singles out its essential features
referent – object denoted by the word, part of reality
sound-form (symbol, sign) – linguistic sign
concept – flowersound-form referent

Meaning and Concept
concept is a category of human cognitionconcept is abstract and reflects the most common and typical features of different objects and phenomena in the world
meanings of words are different in different languages
-
14 слайд
Meaning and Concept
identical concepts may have different semantic structures in different languagesEX. concept “a building for human habitation” –
English Russian
HOUSE ДОМ+ in Russian ДОМ
“fixed residence of family or household”
In English HOME -
15 слайд
Meaning and Referent
one and the same object (referent) may be denoted by more than one word of a different meaning
cat
pussy
animal
tiger -
16 слайд
Meaning
is not identical with any of the three points of the triangle –
the sound form,
the concept
the referentBUT
is closely connected with them. -
17 слайд
Functional Approach
studies the functions of a word in speech
meaning of a word is studied through relations of it with other linguistic units
EX. to move (we move, move a chair)
movement (movement of smth, slow movement)The distriution ( the position of the word in relation to
others) of the verb to move and a noun movement is
different as they belong to different classes of words and
their meanings are different -
18 слайд
Operational approach
is centered on defining meaning through its role in
the process of communicationEX John came at 6
Beside the direct meaning the sentence may imply that:
He was late
He failed to keep his promise
He was punctual as usual
He came but he didn’t want toThe implication depends on the concrete situation
-
19 слайд
Lexical Meaning and Notion
Notion denotes the reflection in the mind of real objectsNotion is a unit of thinking
Lexical meaning is the realization of a notion by means of a definite language system
Word is a language unit -

Lecture 2. Word meaning is studied by the branch of lexicology called semasiology. Usually meaning is defined as the realization of a notion (or concept, in other terms) by means of a definite language system.
The word: basic unit of lexicology The most important characteristics of the word : 1. The word is a unit of speech which serves the purposes of human communication. So the word can be defined as a unit of communication. 2. The word is the total of the sounds which compose it. 3. The word possesses both external and internal characteristics.
The word is a unit used for purposes of human communication, materially representing a group of sounds, possessing a meaning, characterised by formal and semantic unity and a capacity for grammatical employment. The word may be described as the basic unit of language. Uniting meaning and form, it is composed of one or more morphemes, each consisting of one or more spoken sounds or their written representation.
Types of meaning grammatical meaning (unites words into parts of speech) Ex. : goes, stops, works lexical meaning (individual for every word) Ex. : went, kissed, looked
Denotational and connotational meaning Denotational component expresses the notional content of the word, shows what the word refers to. Connotational component expresses additional meanings of the word which may be of different types: stylistic, evaluative (rational and emotional) and emotional, etc.
Types of connotational meaning Evaluative (rational and emotional) Ex. : brain Ex. : brock (“a scoundrel”) Cf. also: notorious – celebrated Emotional, or emotive connotation of the word is its capacity to evoke and express emotion ( duckling, darling (diminutive emotive value). Stylistic connotation shows the stylistic status of a word: neutral, bookish, colloquial, slang, etc.
Componential Analysis consists in decomposition of the word meaning into semes – minimal components of meaning, or elementary units of sense. archisemes differential semes Ex. : girl, woman, spinster
Motivation morhological (Ex. : leader, cranberry) phonetical (Ex. : splash, boom, chung, ching) semantic (Ex. : chain store, chain hotel, chain smoker) folk etymology asparagus sparrow grass полуклиника , спинжак→
Polysemy Ex. : do, go, see, etc. lexico-semantical variants of the word (LSVs) Primary and secondary meanings in the semantic structure of the word Table “a piece of furniture” “ a supply of food”, “an act of assembling to eat”, “a group of people assembled at a table”, etc. Meanings can also be direct and figurative, concrete and abstract, central and peripheral, general and special
Semantic changes. Causes: historical, or extralinguistic, and linguistic. villain ( « деревенский житель » → « негодяй » Tory « ирландский разбойник » → « член партии Тори » lord « хранитель хлеба » → « господин , владелец , etc. » Borrowing Ex. : “any animal”: Deer, beast (Fr. ), animal (Lat. ) Ellipsis Ex. : daily newspaper→daily Analogy catch “understand”, grasp ”understand”
The nature of semantic change Association Transference: 1) based on similarity linguistic metaphor: neck (of a human being) → neck (of a bottle). 2) based on contiguity (real connection between the two objects). linguistic metonymy: hands (“limbs of a human body”) → hands (“a worker”).
Metaphors Based on similarity between two physical objects (concrete to concrete metaphores): teeth of a saw, leg of a table, a goose (of a silly woman). Zoosemy. concrete to abstract metaphors: a ray of hope, a shade of doubt. different types of similarity: similarity of shape (tongue of a bell), function (leg of a table), position (foot of a page), character of motion (snail (of a sluggish person)), dimensions (dumpling (of a short, chabby creature)), value (dirt cheap). proper names → common names: Appolo, Don Juan, Othello. Structural metaphors: Time is money. Argument is war
Metonymy 1) instrument → agent: pen (“writer”); 2) consequence → cause: grey hair (“old age”); 3) symbol →the thing symbolized (crown “monarchy”) 4) material → the thing made from it (silver “money”) 5) container → the thing contained (to drink a cup); 6) name of a place → institution (Whitehall); 7) action → the object of action (my love); quality →the person possessing the quality (He is a talent).
Synechdoche is a variety of metonymy which consists in using the name of a part to denote the whole or vice versa: Hands are wanted; OE mete “food” →Mn. E meat “kind of food”.
Semantic change may result in the change of the range of meaning. narrowing (specialization) of meaning. OE fugol (“any bird”) → domestic bird (fowl) widening (generalization) of meaning. girl “a child of either sex → “a female child”.
The change of the connotational structure Degradation (pejoration) of meaning: the process when the object to which the word refers acquires negative characteristics, and the meaning develops a negative evaluative connotation. OE word cnafa (Mn. E knave) “a boy” → a “boy servant” → “a swindler, a scoundrel”. Elevation (amelioration): the development of a positive evaluative connotation. OE cwen (Mn. E queen) “woman” cniht (Mn. E knight) – “a young servant”
