Participants and listeners shared their impressions of the conference:
Timokhova Polina (1st year student of the profile “English and Literature, German”):
It was interesting to listen to the speeches of the participants, because you could learn something new and useful from them. I especially remember three works: a study of animalistic phraseological units and zoonyms, as well as a report on Gothic motives. The first two reports are interesting because the expressions in question can be used in life, and it was surprising to note their similarities and differences in different languages. The latter interested me in a dark theme.
Bakhlaeva Marina (3rd year student of the profile “Swedish language and literature, English”):
It was a valuable experience for all of us, both participants and listeners. The reports were interesting, familiarization with all of them flew by in one breath!
