ABOUT BUSINESS E-MAIL AS A GENRE OF PROFESSIONAL INTERNET COMMUNICATION IN THE COURSE OF “LANGUAGE OF BUSINESS COMMUNICATION”

The research focuses on exploring lexical-grammatical, syntactic, punctuation features of the text of business e-mail as a genre of professional Internet communication in the course of “Language of business communication”. The tasks are outlined as follows: 1) to reveal the contents of the course of “Language of business communication”; 2) to highlight the importance of the content module on professional Internet communication; 3) to analyze business e-mail as a genre of professional Internet communication. The descriptive method and various types of linguistic analysis are applied. Emphasis is placed on the motivational-practical (speech) component of the course as a defining feature of the “Language of business communication” discipline, which determines the approach to the thematic content of the four content modules. The proposed research highlights the fourth content module, which reveals the peculiarities of Internet business communication and encompass follows themes: “Internet communication: specifics, types, genres”, “Language organization of business Internet communication”. The analyzed content module involves familiarizing students with the concept of Internet style, types of network communication, genres of business Internet communication, types of posts in social networks, and the culture of Internet communication. To improve the practical skills of business electronic correspondence, an educational model (formulated in linguistics) was used, which consists in the synthesis of four interrelated aspects. The first aspect is based on mastering the theoretical foundations of the researched problem: philology students reveal the essence of the concept of an electronic business letter, systematize the basic principles of creating and rules for writing business e-mails. The second aspect is practical. It consists primarily in the formation of skills and abilities to analyze the texts of business letters. For example, the structural-compositional, lexical-grammatical, and punctuation features of an electronic Cover Letter and a Request Letter are considered. The third aspect is research. It involves independent processing of the text of an electronic business letter in accordance with the proposed algorithm. The fourth stage is creative. It provides for the independent creation of an electronic business letter taking into account the specified requirements. The results of the research can be used as materials for practical classes on the language of business communication, Ukrainian language for professional purposes, language culture, etc. Key words: “Language of business communication”, business e-mail, professional Internet communication, etiquette of business correspondence.

Internet stylistics. Pragmatic aspect

This paper provides a comparative analysis of the patterns of formation and qualities of a modern linear text and an Internet text. The article is the result of the study of Internet text stylistics, based mainly on Russian-language texts from Russia and Ukraine. The paper considers the process of formation of a new type of text - the Internet text. Being essentially different from the classical linear text, the Internet text does not lend itself well to the description based on the classical text theory. Thus, the Internet text is not complete, vectorial, not united by the completeness of thought expression. An important characteristic of the Internet text is its interactivity, which means that the roles of addressee and addressee are constantly changing. In addition, it is difficult, or even impossible, to define the boundaries of the Internet text due to its hypertextuality, which has become habitual intertextuality. All the above-mentioned aspects make up the pragmatics of the Internet text as a subspecies of the media text. Another crucial problem addressed in the paper is the study of the regularities of Internet communication in general and the stylistics of the Internet text. In the course of the research it became obvious that speech aggression and violation of norms of speech culture are stylistic dominants of online communication. This influenced the formation of other stylistic dominants such as, hate speech, fake, hype, clickbait, etc. Internet style is clearly characterized by being provocative, aggressive, hostile. The problems of bullying, humiliation of human dignity, invective and obscenity are actively studied from the standpoint of linguoecology, because, according to most researchers, the constant neglect of communicative and linguistic norms leads to the degradation of the national language style and literary norms. Despite the fact that there is still a division between public and interpersonal online communication, i.e. formal and informal, the problems of speech behavior of Internet users are becoming increasingly relevant.

Measuring Internet Slang Style in the Marketing Context: Scale Development and Validation.

As an emerging language variant, practitioners have extensively used Internet slang in advertising and other communication activities. However, its unique characteristics that differ from standard language have yet to be explored. Drawing upon interdisciplinary theories on schema and communication styles, this research makes the first attempt to conceptualize and measure these characteristics by introducing a new multi-dimensional construct, “Internet slang style,” in the marketing context. It develops and validates a new scale to measure Internet slang style along the dimensions of amiability, overtness, candor, and harshness through a series of in-depth interviews, two surveys, and one experiment with consumers. In addition, this research investigates the impact of Internet slang styles on brand personality and brand attitude. The results indicate that different Internet slang style dimensions positively correspond to different brand personality dimensions but exert no influence on brand attitude. Practically, the scale provides an easy-to-use instrument to evaluate Internet slang styles from a consumer perspective to help companies appropriately employ Internet slang in marketing communication activities.

‘Time to Ranch it Up!’: Ethics and satire in new media

YouTube and Internet culture have changed expressions of comedy, especially on television. Some forms of TV entertainment content emphasise shock value, resulting in a satirical strain of comedy that stresses absurdity. Such a trend may be observed in The Eric Andre Show (2012–) and Nathan for You (2013–2017), two US comedy TV series which satirise an Internet style of filmmaking while simultaneously critiquing the culture that created it. This article examines these shows for how extreme methods support or detract from their perceived effect, and whether or not such satirical tactics are valid as a way of bringing about change.

Online Game Addiction Among Turkish Adolescents: The Effect of Internet Parenting Style

Parenting styles, which are known to have a significant impact on the development of adolescents, also play an important role in the use of the child's internet and accompanying technologies. One of these effects is the actions and behaviors of the adolescent in the technology-rich environments. In this context, the research was conducted to determine the effect of internet parenting style on online game addiction of adolescents. The study is a descriptive research and was designed as a correlational survey method. The sample group was formed by 1336 adolescents consisting of secondary and high school students. Research findings revealed that parents' internet styles were mostly considered as being laissez-faire and followed by authoritative, authoritarian and permissive parental styles respectively, and that 14.22% of adolescents had high levels of disruptions due to their online game habits and that the difference in gender context was in favor of men. Another finding of the study is that adolescents living in households with a high parental warmth, authoritative and authoritarian internet parenting style had lower levels of online game dependency than in other households with parents in other styles. While the differences between age of adolescents and education level of father and online game addiction were not found significant in the study, the differences between maternal education level, socio-economic level and playing time were turned up as significant.

Strategies for Online Information Search by University Students: the Relationship between Educational Use of the Internet and Cognitive Styles

The paper presents the results of experimental study of students’ information searching strategies on the Internet. The study was aimed to analyze the relationship between university students’ strategies of information Internet search for educational tasks and style characteristics of their cognitive activities (styles of information coding, styles of information processing and styles of cognitive regulation). The study was based on the Level model of cognitive-style characteristics (Kholodnaya, 2002). Main methods of study were experimental modelling of educational situations and testing for assessment of students’ styles of information coding, information processing and cognitive regulation. The results of experimental study allowed to identify two strategies of educational online searching (“direct online searching” and “improving online searching”) and their relationship with students’ cognitive characteristics and academic achievements: students’ strategies of educational online search are determined primarily by the characteristics of cognitive regulation. The results did not reveal a direct link between strategies educational online search and academic achievement.

Публицистика в истории русского литературногоязыка: от древнерусской словесности к интернет-коммуникации

The present article briefly studies the formation of Russian publicism and its development till present day in regards to the historic and linguistic aspect. The author distinguishes three stages in publicism formation. The first stage is “historic”. It represents the formation of publicism at the intersection of literary and business languages as the special form of the Russian language that includes the image of the author who is focused on the Russian rhetoric ideal. The author expresses his position and gives evaluation of established facts and these are constitutive features of publicism. The second stage is connected with the development of functional stylistics in national science. It describes and institutionalises the system of functional styles in the Russian language. This system consists of 5 equal styles. The publicistic style is defined through the system of publicistic genre and its peculiar features are social evaluativity, author’s position, the image of the author and journalist and his typology, structure block “adressant/addressee”, ideologeme and so an. The third stage - contemporary times when due to extralinguistic factors (especially the Internet), publicism transforms and adapts to new mediaculture. These transformations affect genre system of publicistic style as well as constitutive features of publicism in general. The author points out the formation of new internet style. The basis of this internet style is a particular type of text - mediatext.

Cyberbullying in adolescents, the effect of internet parenting styles and family functioning

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the features of cyberbullying and the relationship between cyber-bullying and internet parental style, and family characteristics. Methods: The participants were given Sociode-mographic Data Form, Cyber Bully/Victim Scale, Internet Parenting Styles Scale and the Family Evaluation Scale. The Sociodemographic Data Form includes questions about marital status, health status, educational level of parents, disciplinary punishment, smoking-alcohol consumptions, internet-mobile phone usage and methods of coping with cyberbullying. The cyberbully/victim scale allows determining whether they are subjected to a cyberbullying and/or victimization and if so, what kind of a bullying they are exposed or applied. The Internet Parenting Scale allows, such as laissez-faire/authoritarian/authoritative/permissive attitudes, to assess how parents approach to adolescents internet usage. Family Evaluation Scale enables assessment of successes and failures of family func-tions in problem solving, communication, roles, emotional reaction capability, capacity of showing interest, behavior control, general functions areas. 386 adolescents, between the ages of 12-14 (6th-8th grades) were taken to study. Results: It is determined that 153 of the adolescents were cyber victims, 93 of the adolescents were bullies, and 78 of the adolescents were bullies and victims. Cyberbullying and/or victimization is found significantly related to disciplinary punishment, threatening/to be threatened, involving in a fight, smoking-alcohol consumption, internet/ mobile phone usage, and psychiatric treatment. The attitudes of families towards internet usage of adolescents and family functioning are also found related to cyberbullying and/or victimization. Conclusion: It is observed that there is a small number of studies examining cyberbullying and internet parenting style and family functioning in the literature of cyberbullying. However, it is thought that the right attitudes of adolescents to the usage of the internet and positive relationships with adolescents can prevent or be effective in coping with cyberbullying.

Linked Lifecycle Data – Connecting Distributed Engineering Data and harvesting its inherent value

AbstractSystems engineers have many different ways to search, locate and analyze engineering data. However, just like in the days before the World Wide Web, this data is being stored, managed and represented in different proprietary formats and locations that make it hard to discover and analyze. In parallel, search engines and Internet style hyperlinks have been proven to be very powerful technologies that change the way we all find and consume information every day. We believe that adopting a similar technical approach can enable organizations to overcome the complexity inherent in modern product design. In this paper we will review this new approach, named Linked Lifecycle Data, and the new opportunities it presents for improving efficiency, quality and productivity in the design and development of complex products and systems.

Les adverbes de domaine en –wise : des marqueurs du Netspeak ?

Viewpoint –wise adverbs (such as education-wise, television-wise, basketball-wise) are commonly used on the Internet, so much so that they have been described as markers of Internet style. It is admitted that their development started in the 1940s, that is years before the advent of the Internet. If they are now found in all geographical varieties of English, not only in speech but also in newspapers, scientific journals, etc., their syntactic, semantic and morphological flexibility accounts for their extensive use on the Internet. This article presents some of their roles in the syntactic make-up of the sentence and in the organisation of the text.

Computer-Related Stress and Learning Style

Randomized Algorithms for Stability and Robustness Analysis of High-Speed Communication Networks

This paper initiates a study toward developing and applying randomized algorithms for stability of high-speed communication networks. The focus is on congestion and delay-based flow controllers for sources, which are "utility maximizers" for individual users. First, we introduce a nonlinear algorithm for such source flow controllers, which uses as feedback aggregate congestion and delay information from bottleneck nodes of the network, and depends on a number of parameters, among which are link capacities, user preference for utility, and pricing. We then linearize this nonlinear model around its unique equilibrium point and perform a robustness analysis for a special symmetric case with a single bottleneck node. The "symmetry" here captures the scenario when certain utility and pricing parameters are the same across all active users, for which we derive closed-form necessary and sufficient conditions for stability and robustness under parameter variations. In addition, the ranges of values for the utility and pricing parameters for which stability is guaranteed are computed exactly. These results also admit counterparts for the case when the pricing parameters vary across users, but the utility parameter values are still the same. In the general nonsymmetric case, when closed-form derivation is not possible, we construct specific randomized algorithms which provide a probabilistic estimate of the local stability of the network. In particular, we use Monte Carlo as well as quasi-Monte Carlo techniques for the linearized model. The results obtained provide a complete analysis of congestion control algorithms for internet style networks with a single bottleneck node as well as for networks with general random topologies.

Cheating, Internet Style: Guarding against On-Line Term Paper Mills

The growth of online term paper mills has recently exploded. With access to term papers available at their fingertips, student cheating, by submitting a purchased term paper, becomes much easier and quicker than in the past. As a means of student outcome assessment, more emphasis today is being placed on outside the classroom activities (homework, cases, termpapers). How much of a threat to marketing education is the proliferation of these term paper services? The purpose of this paper is 1) to identify the services available, 2) to determine how many marketing term papers are offered by these services, and 3) to suggest techniques marketing instructors can use to combat usage of the proffered materials.
