Abstract: This article examines the differences between the two competing in foreign management sectors of scientific and practical activity –records management and information governance – through comparing their definitions, content, and structure. The research is based on the analysis of scientific literature and normative framework, which describe the concept and structure of record management and information governance. The authors explores the factors and stages of the formation of records management and information governance. Special attention is given to the literature review dedicated to information governance, as a developing trend, which is yet lacking the generally accepted definition. The conclusion is made on the absence of fundamental differences between the records management and information governance, which match in their key functions. There is no doubt that the problem of uncontrolled increase in the volume of information is essential for both, foreign and domestic organizations. However, this problem along with attendant problems can be solved by through the traditional scientific-practical discipline of records management; therefore, the formation of a similar discipline seems unreasonable. The conducted research is substantiated by the need to summarize foreign experience in information governance, due to the absence of such works in the domestic management theory, as well as for the development of original approaches towards solution of the problem of expansion of information in the organizations.

Abstract: In his article Ignatov analyzes the word 'personage' and structural component of the semantic field 'personality'. He demonstrates that the word 'personage' came into the Russian literary language by the end of the XIXth century. The beginning of the XXth century was marked with rapid development of this word semantics including the use of the word for denoting an individual. Lately the word 'personage' has been actively used in combination with other words that describe a person as an individual (human creature or figure) or a person from the point of view of his or her qualities and traits (personality). The author bases his analysis on the use of contextual and lexical-semantic research methods based on the material of the national corpus of the Russian language. The word 'personage' has never before become an object of special analysis in personality studies because the meanings of personage as an individual are not so often found in Russian dictionaries. However, the results of the research demonstrate that today this lexeme is actively used in the development of the semantic field 'personality' in Russian.
