manuscripts and early printed books, scattered across libraries and archives worldwide, constitute a valuable part of the national cultural heritage. Access to these materials has traditionally been constrained by spatial and temporal limitations. The aim of this paper is to analyze fieldwork experiences in researching such materials and to define long-term objectives for digital cultural heritage projects. The research is based on extensive fieldwork involving the processing of several thousand Serbian medieval manuscripts, printed books, and archival materials held in international collections, utilizing innovative technologies. These technologies have proven essential for the effective preservation and presentation of cultural materials.

The given article dwells on the issue of the morphological peculiarities and functional integration of Arabic-derived adverbs in Muhammad Iqbal`s poetry. The article illuminates the processes of integration, re-grammaticalization, and stylistic utilization of these adverbs revealing their role in shaping Iqbal’s distinctive poetic idiom. The findings demonstrate that these adverbs not only enrich the Persian lexicon but also contribute to specific rhetorical effects, modal nuances, and a heightened sense of classical or philosophical gravity, thereby transcending mere lexical borrowing to become integral to the poem’s aesthetic and semantic fabric. Thus, the conducted analysis underscores the linguistic fusion characteristic of Iqbal’s work and its implications for understanding the historical interplay between Arabic and Persian literary traditions.

The article regards source study commentary of A.T. Bolotov’s autobiographi­cal work. He was the famous Russian educator of the second half of the 18th century who put his recollections into the form of letters not intended for publication, which was common in the European tradition of that time. So the book sources used are often implicit, such as a retelling, a mention of the author, or even a combination of several sources. Being fluent in German Bolotov belonged to a generation that emerged during a time when Francophony had not yet become established among the educated nobility. The identification of some of the German sources is challenging due to the author’s free-flowing style in his extensive historical and literary work. Several examples discussed in the article highlight the challenges faced by modern commentators of this type of text.

The given article dwells on the comprehensive overview and critical analysis of prominent theoretical perspectives concerning the morphologico-functional peculiari­ties of English parenthetic units. The article synthesizes insights from various linguistic schools, including traditional grammar, generative grammar, functional linguistics, and discourse analysis, to explore how these units are categorized morphologically and how their diverse functions (e.g., attitudinal, evidential, connective, elaborative) are conceptua­lized. Through a detailed examination of recent scholarship, the given article elucidates the ongoing debates regarding their status as optional or integral components of utterance structure, their prosodic characteristics, and their impact on sentence meaning and discourse coherence. The analysis underscores the necessity of a multifaceted approach that accounts for both the formal properties and the pragmatic roles of parenthetic units to fully grasp their complex linguistic behavior.

The given article dwells on the comparative analysis of morphological peculiarities of Tajik abstract nouns and their English equivalents. The purpose of the article is to identify and systematize the morphological models of the formation of abstract nouns in both languages, to establish similarities and differences in their structure and functioning. The methods of continuous sampling, contextual and comparative analysis, morphemic analysis was used. The results showed significant differences in the dominant methods of derivation (in Tajik, suffixation prevails, especially from verb stems; in English, suffixation from adjectives and nouns, conversion), the influence of the category of gender on morphology in Tajik, as well as the specificity of semantic groups. The identified patterns contribute to the theory of contrastive linguistics and can be applied in the practice of translation and language teaching.

The article deals with the works of the Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Frammartino who operates in the field of moviemaking and videoart. The works of M. Frammartino reflect the mythopoetic world view that is characterized by the idea that the world is a unity in which all elements are interconnected. The filmmaker lays the concept of metempsychosis of Pythagoras as a basis for the film “Le Quattro Volte” and demonstrates in a very poetic way how an old shepherd is reborn to become first a goat, then a tree and finally pieces of coal. The film also features a scene of the traditional feast when a gigantic fir tree is placed at the center and symbolizes death and revival. In the videoart work called “Alberi” the filmmaker reconstructs the traditional carnival of a small town in Calabria when the inhabitants are transformed into “rumiti”, tree hermits, putting on costumes made of leaves and branches. M. Frammartino underlines the integrity of the universe, the unity of the human and natural realms which he finds in the archaic way of life proper to Calabria and in the traditional culture. The filmmaker aims to get rid of the anthropocentrism, the leading role of humans in the universe, which is reflected both in the themes of his movies and in his style of filmmaking.

The given article analyzes theoretical and methodological approaches to teaching Mandarin Chinese in primary education (ages 5–11), focusing on the specific challenges posed by the tonal system and logographic script. The increasing global demand for Mandarin instruction at the primary level necessitates a re-evaluation of peda­gogical practices. The study synthesizes relevant Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theories and examines methodologies tailored to address the unique cognitive needs of young learners (YLs) in acquiring Mandarin tones and characters. It investigates the adaptation of major pedagogical frameworks (CLT, TBLT, CLIL, TPR/TPRS, TELL) for the primary Chinese classroom. The analysis aims to provide a theoretically sound foundation for informing pedagogical decisions, curriculum development, and teacher training in primary Chinese language programs.

The article dwells on the importance of improving the literacy of Russian language among students of technical universities of the Republic of Tajikistan as a key competence for successful professional activity. The urgency of the problem against the background of insufficient level of language skills, low motivation of students and lack of qualified teachers is substantiated. Various methods for improving literacy are proposed, including the introduction of multimedia technologies, the creation of language clubs, webinars and seminars, as well as the active use of a practical approach in classes. The article emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach and the importance of creating a motivational environment for effective mastery of the Russian language, which will ultimately contribute to the successful careers of young people and provide qualified professionals for the country’s economy.

In modern educational institutions, the issue of humanism is increasingly discussed in the context of teaching academic subjects and conducting educational activities. The humanistic ideas embodied in the works of outstanding thinkers from Tajikistan and Persia play a key role in the education of moral and humanistic values in children. These ideas help shape students’ respect for the individual, responsibility for their actions, and an understanding of social justice. It is important to continue using these rich traditions to create educational programs that focus on the comprehensive development of students’ personalities.
