Interlingual Split of Temporal Continuum: Russian–English Discrepancy Cases
The Russian words ‘budni’ and ‘sutki’ denoting respectively ‘non-working days’ of the week and ‘round-the-clock’, or ‘24-hour’ temporal segment appear, together with their derivatives, to non-directly correlate with similar concepts in the English language. Though constituting fully-fledged lexical items of the Russian general core vocabulary, these words are increasingly used in highly specialized texts ranging from legal texts to narrow-specialized texts on chemical technology, energy production or others. English–Russian examples are given which show the need of incorporating the temporal parameters and/or temporal continuum of the entire utterance as fragmented in terms of other culture’ communicants.

Conceptual Differences in Economic vs. Legal Definitions of ‘Money’
The presentation provides a number of reasons indicative of the most lawyers’ reluctance to perceive the broad economic definition of ‘money’. Several attempts are made to use economic theory of money by legalists for academic and legislative purposes. The arguments against an outdated statutory definition of ‘money’ as res and the legal split of the ‘money’ concept widespread among the market participants is provided in concluding remarks.
