The paper presents an address as one of the forms of speech behavior in the regulated spheres of communication. Regulated communication standards of speech etiquette. The trends in the most typical forms of address are identified on the basis of the observation over the surveys of preferable choices of the different forms of address, such as the following:

1. Address as a regulator of speech behavior in the public communicative

situation.

2. Address as a regulator of speech behavior in an aspect of a literary text.

3. Address as an effective means of implicit literary text decoding.

4. Address as a deviation from the regulated speech behavior and a source

of the new knowledge.

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of changes in approaches to monitoring and assessing language proficiency from the advent of the first computers to the introduction of modern generative artificial intelligence models. The study aimed to trace the historical evolution of intelligent assessment systems, conduct a comparative analysis of existing solutions, identify ways to integrate AI into language education, and assess prospects for further development in this field. Particular attention is paid to automatic written text assessment systems, the stages of their integration into learning, and intelligent adaptive testing platforms capable of personalizing assignments to the level and needs of students. The study’ s results demonstrate that modern intelligent systems significantly expand the capabilities of teachers and students, providing more accurate and rapid assessment of written assignments and facilitating the development of individual educational trajectories. The integration of generative models into testing systems opens up new prospects for language education but requires a rethinking of the role of the teacher, improved methods and ethical standards, and training of specialists capable of effectively using AI tools in educational practice.

This article is devoted to the study of digital discourse using the example of the communication of the online community “Warum бы и nicht” on the VKontakte platform and in the Telegram channel. The research is based on modern approaches to the study of digital discourse, including the analysis of computer-mediated discourse. It also examines the theory of code switching and its implementation in the digital format. The article identifies and analyzes the functions of the German-language component in the community’s posts, examines the phenomenon of code switching and its parameters, and explores the specifics of communication within the digital community on the two specified platforms. The article describes the structural features of the inclusion of German words in Russian-language posts, identifies the themes of the messages, and analyzes the texts of posters, posts, and comments. Special attention is given to the representation of German culture in the community’s posts. The use of two languages within the same community is a marker of its intercultural orientation, but the presence of two languages in a single message is not always a manifestation of code-switching. The use of German for a predominantly Russian-speaking audience can be used to attract attention, construct historical identity, and promote a specific cultural identity.

The article is devoted to the study of the timbre nature of syntactic units in poetic and journalistic texts based on modern theoretical and linguistic concepts. The focus is on the relationship between rigid predicative structures and flexible superphrasal rhythmic-syntactic unities. 

The purpose of the article is to analyze the role of rhythm as a mediator between the local and global timbre of the text, and to show how rhythmic patterns (“rambling”, “grading”, etc.) can act as a framework for timbre build-up. The authors analyze in detail the minimal unit of syntactic interaction — syntaxeme — as functional module that sets the step of timbre evolution. Within the framework of a four-level analysis (grammatical, logical-conceptual, epistemic, and emotional-expressive), the “shock zones” of timbre are identified and it is shown how syntactic deviations — inversions and parenthetical introductions — create windows of plasticity within rigidly formed grammatical constructions. 

In addition, it is shown how in journalism these techniques form a polyphonic timbre that combines rhythmic fractionality with expressive density. The authors of the article propose to consider timbre as an indicator of text coherence, depending on the consistency between the rhythmic structure and syntactic organization. Based on the theoretical works of Russian linguists, the authors build a dynamic model of the text, where timbre becomes an analytical marker of structure, expression and semantic coherence. A universal scale for assessing the timbral architecture of a text is also proposed, which helps to take into account all the necessary components for deep timbral analysis.
