The rules for compiling references and bibliographic description:
References to literature are indicated within the text in square brackets following the example: The issue of translation activity can be considered in the historical-cultural, linguistic, psycholinguistic aspects, because “during the translation there is a clash of not only lexical, grammatical systems but also communicative-pragmatic, linguistic-poetic, socio-cultural ideas, mentality of speakers” (Selivanova, 1999).
At the same time, the main functions of addresses in the lyrics are appellate, characterizing, emotionally expressive and nominative (Stepykhova, 2009).
If a page of the source is marked, it is colon separated, e.g. (Bondarenko, 2002: 25–27).
