A Word about the Conference “Feelings and Values that Will Save the World” (in Language, Literature and Culture)

Abstract

This text is a description of the event and a brief analysis of its results. We are talking about the International Student Scientific Conference “Feelings and Values that Will Save the World”, which took place on May 6, 2023. Events taking place in different parts of the world forced students and their teachers to touch upon to the topic of feelings, emotions, and human values.

The conference analyzed the texts of the reports and concluded that the field of research on the problems raised by young researchers can and should be expanded to other scientific disciplines. The speakers were unable to strictly adhere to the framework of one scientific field. The topic itself provokes interdisciplinary research. Articles sometimes go far beyond the narrow understanding of linguistic research, namely, they are based on the achievements of literary criticism, philosophy, psychology, sociologyand biology.

The conference examined different approaches to understanding feelings and emotions, as well as their impact on behavior and communication. Works by linguists have discussed how emotions are expressed through language and how this affects perception and communication.

In general, the conference was dedicated to a comprehensive study of feelings and emotions and their role in the world. It was a good start in the scientific careers of its participants. The event allowed young people to gain experience and at the same time self-confidence. Students also establish and expand international contacts. At the same time, it showed how science is an important and even saving value in the modern world.
