Marginalized Identities and Spaces
James Baldwin's stories concentrate on racially and sexually marginalized identities placed within cosmopolitan capitals (Paris and New York). In such novels as Another Country , Baldwin explores antonyms, contrasting ideals and ideologies, and the formation of nonconforming relationships. Individual desire and external social pressure create a complex tension that pulls white and black, homo- and heterosexual characters toward and away from each other. Space repeatedly appears as reflective of the inner landscapes of the characters who are intricately linked to the space in which they act. Similar tensions that characterize their inner conflicts appear also in the concept of cosmopolitanism that defines the cities they inhabit. Indeed, a cosmopolitan world citizen, who is at home everywhere but not belonging anywhere, is torn between opposing forces, between inclusion and exclusion. Similarly, Baldwin's fiction examines inclusion and exclusion, steering, however, away from simplified constructions of centrality and marginality.

INTERACTION OF ALTERNATIVENESS AND ANTONYMY AND ITS REALIZATION IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
This paper presents the results of research devoted to one of the significant aspects of language categories, namely, their interaction. Alternativeness and antonymy are described in their interaction, the realization of which in the English language is shown through the distributional and contextual analysis. The form and variety of this interaction also reveal the diversity of alternative situations existing in reality.

Certificate of What? Document and Documentation in Contemporary Russian Literature
In literary theory the notion of \"documentary\" is essentially defined in apophatic terms: the document should define the scope of literariness and is considered either in a series of \"everyday\" literary marginalia, or as the Other of literature, as a non-literature. The key analytical problem in both instances is, of course, the issue of literary invention. The term \"document\" is usually described as the antonym of fiction: as factual narrative; yet quite often this description is used only in order to be recognized then as conditional, doubtful, and even unfounded. Here, Kaspe analyzes a wide range of prosaic forms \"coined\" by document and ascertains the paradoxical inversion of concepts connected with the document (to be exact, with the concept of \"truth\"): in recent Russian prose the document ceases to signify authenticity and displays instead a new \"mediality\" of literature which no longer pretends to be Truth and becomes a form of communication.
