Конфликтогенность форм цифровой коммуникации в аспекте лингвистической безопасности (на материале комментариев к блогам платформы «Яндекс-дзен»)

The object of this study is a blog as a form of digital communication that often violate the linguistic security. The subject of the study was the comments of Yandex-Zen blogs about cooking and beauty as a tool for the implementation of verbal abuse. The purpose of the study is to highlight the linguo-conflictogenic components of discourse that violate the linguistic security of participants in digital communication. To achieve this goal, a descriptive method and the method of discursive analysis were used. In the course of linguistic analysis, it was revealed that online media content is characterized by an increased emotions, expressiveness, aggressiveness, sarcastic tone and conflict potential. Markers of aggression are most often invective; pejoratives with semantic dominants of aggression, hostility and irony; graphic selection of words, etc. Within the framework of hating, trolling and elfing, some linguo-conflictogenic elements of discourse that can be avoided in network communication were identified and described. It is concluded that the use of non-normative language units poses a threat to network communication from the linguistic security point of view. Meanwhile, the authors propose some measures to prevent the potential for conflict in digital communication, and outline the prospect of further research in the field of linguistic security of a person on the Internet.

Феминизм «слабого мужчины»: феминистский дискурс в романе Т. И. Кинси «Леди на сельской ярмарке»

When studying a complex phenomenon such as national identity, it seems important to consider with special care those aspects that have a tendency to change over time. An important aspect of British national identity is the British vision of the concepts of masculinity and femininity. One of the sources reflecting the way the British presently perceive the mentioned concepts is modern British literature. Remarkably, yet not unpredictably, a targeted study of works written by British authors reveals that feminist discourse plays the primary role where authors express their attitude to masculinity and femininity. In the paper, this phenomenon is demonstrated based on the analysis of the novel In the Market for Murder by T.E.Kinsey.We have identified and analyzed a number of feminist discourse elements in the text of this literary work. First, Kinsey introduced in his novel an antinomy of a ‘weak man’ and a ‘strong woman’, which is a fairly typical manifestation of feminist discourse. This contrast is expressed through the represen-tation of male characters as defective and weak, and female ones, accordingly, as self-sufficient and strong. The latter ones are perceived to be even stronger, having weak males at the background. Likewise, the femi-nist image of the‘new woman’, namely a progressive post-Victorian woman, is clearly expressed through the image of the main character of the novel. In addition, far from being unbiased in favor of feminism is the system of literary images in the novel. Taking into accountall the aforementioned, and considering the fact of the author being a male, it proves possible to allege that the studied novel to some extent reflects the reality where the feminist paradigm occupies a dominating position in British culture and is accepted thereby as given.

Álbumes sin palabras y creatividad: propuesta didáctica para los grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria

The expressive possibilities of wordless picturebooks offer us a tool to work on multiple subjects at any educational stage. Scientific attention shows both a clinical interest in using these books to promote narrative skills and many studies and didactic proposals that recognise these visual narratives, which are not restricted by the understanding of the written text. In this research, a didactic sequence is proposed for teacher education, carried out in the Early Childhood and Primary Teacher Education Degrees to reinforce the knowledge of visual narratives through wordless picturebooks. It is based on the use of eight picturebooks, focusing on three different categories: (1) recognition of the different elements of the narrative discourse based on the importance of the central fold; (2) the narration of the passage of time based on the sequence centred on an unaltered space, (3) the identification of a visual narrative with accumulative narrations. Based on their analysis and explanation, seven wordless picturebooks are proposed and are distributed in the same categories to carry out different creative writing activities to confirm the learning of students in teacher training. The selected wordless picturebooks also present different topics and meanings in their illustrations, thus demonstrating their narrative possibilities. The selection of these books and the reasons for their inclusion in this didactic sequence are presented, showing that wordless picturebooks are a suitable tool for literary education.

Пандемички дискурс у поезији Драгана Хамовића: „Заштитна маска” и „Две хиљаде двaдесета”

The paper discusses elements of pandemic discourse in the poetry of Dragan Hamović within two collections of his poems: Protective Mask (2020) and Two Thousand Twenty (2021). At the centre of this poetry lies the general questioning and concern over the new and (im)possible living conditions to which we as a society are exposed to due to the pandemic of COVID-19. Through a kind of lyrical diary of a bad year, the poet lucidly sees himself and others in the context of the so-called new normality (isolation, quarantine, curfew, state of emergency, masks, vaccines, tests and so on) and the year 2020, as a year of double annihilation (“two zeros”). The focus of the research will be therefore directed towards rethinking and critique of the current socio-historical moment as a moment of crisis at the global level caused by the coronavirus epidemic.

Violation of human dignity: a case study of Dalit adolescent girls in Nepal

ABSTRACT Dignity is intrinsic to the human being. However, it is a missing element in the empowerment discourse, and if dignity is not conceptualised, theorising empowerment will remain incomplete. In this context, the study aims to understand the violation of dignity among Dalit adolescent girls in Nepal. From February 2020 to February 2021, semi-structured interviews with 30 participants were conducted. The analysis was based on grounded theory methodology. The results confirm that caste- and gender-based discrimination, poverty, and having their opinions disregarded combine to violate the dignity of Dalit adolescent girls. These findings will assist development agencies and policymakers in planning and implementing appropriate interventions for adolescent girls to live their lives with dignity.

Science Fiction Series <i>Star Trek</i> and <i>Babylon 5</i> as Forms of Political and Memorial Cultures Construction

The author analyzes Star Trek and Babylon 5 series as segments of American political culture and collective memory. The purpose of the article is to analyze how American popular culture, represented by the TV series, actualizes and visualizes the problems of the admissibility / inadmissibility of external influence / non-influence of more developed societies on less developed ones and demonstrates the features of collective memory developments. The author studies the assimilation of the political in the visual discourses of mass culture. Methodologically, the article is based on the principles proposed in the memorial turn and the analysis of the politics of memory within the paradigm of intellectual history. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of common and unique features and directions of assimilation of the political, reduced to the problems of interference / nonintervention, in modern mass culture and historical memory. The article considers 1) the modes of actualization of political and social differences between societies in Star Trek and Babylon 5 TV series; 2) the political and ideological dimensions of intervention through the prism of mass culture and aspects of the functioning of various memorial cultures; 3) the problems of memory as the trauma received during the forced interaction of imagined societies with different identities in the contexts of the development of collective memories and the uncomfortable past revision through the formation of a compromise memorial canon. The article shows the contribution of the series as elements of mass cultural discourse to the development of Western political culture and of Selfness and Otherness concepts, and indicates their role in the revision of the past in popular culture. The results of the study suggest that the assimilation of the political in mass cultural discourse became both an incentive for ideological modifications and transformations of modern society, and a form of promoting the principles of political correctness and tolerance as its systemic characteristics. Moreover, it can be viewed as an attempt to revise the memorial canon and to enhance it by alternative visions of history, based on the revitalization of marginalized collective memories.

Discourse on News of the Changes in PCR and Antigen Policies as Travel Requirements in Indonesia

Covid-19 which occurred in 2020 became a health problem that happens 18 years ago in China, in regards to the case of acute respiratory syndrome or SARS. News as an actual source of information has become a benchmark for society in seeking information about Covid-19. In this study, the researchers aim to conduct critical discourse analysis on the news portal tribunnews.com in reporting on changes in PCR test and Antigen policies as travel requirements in Indonesia, published on March 2022. The method used in this study is critical discourse analysis from Teun Van Dijk, through three elements of discourse which are: macro structure, superstructure, and microstructure. The researchers divide this report into three phases; the initial phase, the middle phase, and the final phase which the result shows a picture of the situation starting from confusion and criticality, rejection of the policy, and the phase of acceptance of the new policy. This also has an influence on several sectors, such as education and economy.

Punctuating the other: Graphic cues, voice, and positioning in digital discourse

This article investigates the nested relationship between graphic cues, voice, and positioning in digital discourse. The focus is on the ‘indignation mark’, or <!!1!>, an allographic sign used in German-language discussion boards on Reddit. The study's theoretical backdrop brings research on graphic practices in digitally-mediated communication into dialogue with sociolinguistic approaches to the enactment of group relations in discourse, in particular double-voicing, stylization, and positioning, thereby aiming to foster theory-building on both sides. Data is extracted from a large German-language forum (‘subreddit’) on Reddit and subjected to computational, sequential, and microlinguistic analysis. The findings show how participants in public online discussions use punctuation signs and other graphic cues to animate voices, i.e. ways of speaking that index recognizable social positions and ideologies; how these stylized voices provide a resource for positioning; and how participants display recognition of and alignment to this feature's indexical meaning. The findings also suggest that the ‘indignation mark’ is part of a wider ecology of graphic cues, which evolve constantly to enable multi-voicedness in public digital discourse. Overall, this paper aims to advance our understanding about how graphic elements of digital discourse are indexically and ideologically connected with positioning activities in online communities of practice.

Working with Media Text in the Audience: Case Method

This article proposes a holistic approach to text analysis as an object of linguistic research and pedagogical process. The purpose of the work is to demonstrate a methodology for working with a textual whole, which would be universal for both foreign students and students of Russian universities. Within the framework of the proposed concept, such concepts as discourse, media text, creolization are put forward, which indicates that the educational process is now immersed in a new semiotic reality that needs to be taken into account. We examined the methodology of working with media text in the audience. It is universal in nature and can be applied to the widest textual material. By examining the text in its many aspects, we let students understand how discursive its nature is. The text, as our case shows, is not just an intermediary between communicants. This is a synergistic reality, which is modeled by the intentions of one communicator and the peculiarities of perception of another. Our main task was to acquaint students with the features of the text as an element of discourse, as well as to learn how to work thoughtfully with its conceptual field. SEO analysis and cognitive mapping were considered as methods of working with text.

Incivility and Washington’s NFL Franchise: Exploring Uncivil Discourse in Sports Blog Comment Sections

The current study sought to explore the prevalence of uncivil discourse surrounding the Washington NFL team’s removal of offensive Native American imagery and later rebranding as the Washington Commanders. The study employed a quantitative content analysis to assess comment sections of news stories on a sports blog between 2014 and 2022. In addition to uncivil discourse, contextual elements such as popularity, reciprocity, and directionality of incivility were also examined. Dovetailing with existing research, roughly one quarter of all comments featured an element of uncivil discourse, with derogatory slurs toward Native Americans being particularly common. Additionally, contextual elements served important roles in the facilitation of incivility. Taken together, the results point to some of the antisocial behavior that can occur in seemingly innocuous online spaces that often reflect broader social and political turmoil related to Native American imagery in sport.

Ten obcy z pierwszej strony. Funkcje perswazyjne fotografii w prasie okresu Polski ludowej na przykładzie „Odry” w latach 1945–1950

Press photography was a tool of propaganda in the Polish People's Republic. However, the period itself was not at all homogeneous, and the introduction of the Leninist model of the press in Poland was preceded by several years of planning. In addition to the propaganda and agitation press, there were also non-Marxist magazines, such as Odra in Katowice. The extent of their liberty shrank over time. This is evidenced by, among other aspects, photographs: next to labor leaders, cartoonish images of Germans were published, being an element of the anti-German discourse serving to justify forced expulsions. In the article, the author investigates the functioning of photography in the pages of a magazine gradually succumbing to the pressure of propaganda.

The Use of Bikago Beautified Style in Usage Instructions of Food, Beverage, and Pharmaceutical Products

The current article discusses a linguistic phenomenon, particularly, the use of bikago beautified style, which has been classified as being separate from teineigo since 2007. The discussion covers the forms of this particular linguistic style and the background of its emergence. This research was conducted because, to date, Japanese language studies pertaining to this specific style mostly consisted of researches that are based on spoken data analysis. This is a descriptive-qualitative study. Data were collected from instruction labels of food, beverage, and pharmaceutical products in Japanese provided on the packages of relevant products. Data were gathered based on the content of bikago style element found within a speech. Speeches that do not contain any bikago style element were not included as research data. Research results shows that the number of bikago terms being used on relevant products is very scarce, only consisting of a few words, yet they are distributed in various elements of usage instruction discourse.

Религиозная концептосфера современного политического дискурса в Латинской Америке

This article analyses the use of religious connotations in the political discourse of Latin America. The study of such cases confirms the hypothesis that two simultaneous processes are taking place: politicization of the Catholic Church and clericalization of politics in the region. The paper aimed to scrutinize the use of elements of religious discourse as a tool for suggestive and manipulative influence on the voters within the political discourse. Empathy and speech manipulation in the considered examples are based on the use of presuppositional knowledge, which includes the religious aspect. Appeals to the religious feelings of the addressees of a discursive message through biblical metaphors, allusions and quotations are explained by the religious and ethnic specificity of the region. Linguistic and, more broadly, discursive means, together with the extralinguistic design of political speeches, change the authorship of the statement, assigning it to higher powers, thereby making the voter vulnerable to political suggestion. There is a growing interest in the study of verbal and extralinguistic means of manipulation used during election campaigns today. Due to the large amount of information, circumstances of communication and characteristics of its participants, we need to turn to the discourse approach determining the vector of speech development of a political figure.

SEMANTIC AND SYNTAX PARAMETRIZATION OF WEATHER FORECAST HEADINGS

The heading as an element of meteorological discourse, implemented in the genre of weather forecast, reflects the specifics, which is based on several principles of information coverage. It is a combination of features of scientific, journalistic and artistic styles. The purpose of the research is the lexical and syntactic specificity of headings on Facebook. The object of the research is media heading and the subject of the research – its features in semantical and grammatical aspects. In the process of studying the weather forecasts headings following methods were used: descriptive method (to characterize meteolexemes), component analysis (to specify the semantics of the basic elements of the studied units) and quantitative calculations (to determine the frequency of meteolexemes and structures). The source base for the article was the headings of weather forecasts, represented on the Facebook page of the head of the Cherkasy Regional Center for Hydrometeorology V. Postryhan. The actual base is 300 of these units, recorded in the forecasts-reports from August 12, 2019 to January 31, 2022. The semantic specificity of headings is largely determined by the qualitative and quantitative parameters of used lexemes. The system of words to denote time is the most extensive. Within its limits the most frequent lexemes are singled out: names of seasons, months and days. Those that indicate the temperature parameters of the weather, precipitation and phenomena that specify the course of the weather in a certain period of time were quite active among the actual meteolexemes. Less active components in the headings are geortonyms that serve as chronomarkers of weather conditions. Weather forecast titles are formed as different types of syntactic constructions. Simple constructions prevail and reflect the main content. Complex sentences reflect the main idea of the forecast with certain details and are relatively rarely used. The prospects of the research lie within the lexical and stylistic parameterization of weather forecast headings.

시각문화 미술교육에 대한 현행 교과서 내용 분석

Objectives This study aimed to analyze the curriculum and art textbooks based on the content elements of discourse on visual culture art education to inform the development of new art textbooks. Methods a literature review was conducted to explore the research trends in visual culture art education studies and to analyze the curriculum and the contents of relevant textbook units by restructuring the goals and content of visual culture education. In the literature, a researcher have used qualitative content analysis methods to conduct studies. Results The literature search showed that most of the sections of art textbooks related to visual culture mainly featured content that sought to understand the mode of transmission of visual images, the media characteristics of visual culture, the meaning of visual images in a social context. However, content on the exchange between artwork and the visual culture of the narrow meaning and the experience of visual images that can foster visual enjoyment were lacking. Conclusions When developing a new art textbook that applies the 2022 curriculum, the textbook should reflect recent academic trends related to visual culture art education so that more elements of content that are not covered in the art textbooks based on the 2015 curriculum can be included.

PRESUPPOSITION AND OTHERING IN A DYSTOPIAN NOVEL RED RISING

The researcher has analyzed the concept of Colonialism Discourse in a dystopian novel titled Red Rising using qualitative method to gather the data. Othering is used to explain the colonialism discourse in the novel. The researcher used Focault (1990) theory to describe how othering happened in the novel’s background story. Beside othering, presupposition is also used to gather the data. For the presupposition, the researcher used Yule (1996) theory which has six types of presupposition. The purpose of this research is how Othering which is part of colonialism discourse could happened in a dystopian novel which is a new genre in this modern era. By using presupposition to understand the othering concept in the novel, this research focused on the meaning of the utterances using the types of presupposition and how those presupposed meaning can give the pragmatics function in the concept of Othering. The researcher found that presupposed meaning of the utterances could help to determine the othering expression based on the context in the story. The researcher found that the most used presupposition is existential because it contains adjective pronouns to emphasize the characters’ thoughts or feeling to the readers. Other types of presupposition are existed in the story being viewed as the way the characters showed their identity as an individual in the society. As a dystopian novel which has some elements of colonialism discourse, Red Rising often uses humiliation to mock or underestimate other colors society. The researcher found that the othering expression used in this novel depicts the concept of colonialism literature about the oppressing leader in one social hierarchy. The totalitarian leader has created label to identify each individual with their own position and authority to gain easy access to control everything in the social system. In a word, othering has its own role in the colonized society by showing how the system of social hierarchy works in the story.
