Genological stratification of diplomatic discourse on social network X (based on the material of the countries of the Romance and Germanic language areas)

Abstract

Relevance. The rapid advancement in technology has profoundly impacted various aspects of human life, including communication. The advent of the internet and microblogs like X has revolutionized not only personal and professional interactions but also diplomatic discourse. This evolution presents new avenues for philological research, particularly in the domain of communicative linguistics.Purpose. The purpose of this article is to determine, describe and make an attempt to predict the levels and structure of genres of diplomatic discourse in the coming decades using examples of its manifestations on X in the best traditions of classical linguistics schools and considering the achievements of new research areas in linguistics.Methodology. The analysis utilises a comprehensive review of existing literature on discourse theory and internet communication genres. It incorporates a detailed examination of X�s role in modern diplomatic interactions to propose a new stratification matrix for genres termed twiplomatics.Results. The article highlights the genres of tweeting as the implementation of diplomatic discourse within the framework of virtual (internet) communication on the example of the social network (microblog) X. A contribution is made to the development of the theory of genological theory, in particular, the genre of virtual communication. A hierarchical stratification of speech genres for twiplomatics is offered.Conclusions. The findings contribute significantly to the field of discourse genology by providing a structured genre classification system for diplomatic discourse on X. This research not only enriches our understanding of digital communication dynamics but also sets a foundation for future studies in virtual communication genres, potentially guiding the development of more effective digital diplomatic strategies.
