The Effects of Problematic Internet Use and Emotional Connotation on Internet Slang Processing: Evidence from a Lexical Decision Task.

Young people use slang for identifying themselves with a particular social group, gaining social recognition and respect from that group, and expressing their emotional state. One feature of Internet slang is its active use by youth in online communication, which, under certain conditions, may cause problematic Internet use (PIU). We conducted two studies in young Russian speakers (n1 = 115, n2 = 106). In study 1, participants were asked to rate a set of slang and common words using Self-Assessment Manikin. The study revealed that the most reliable predictor of higher emotional ratings was word familiarity. There were no significant effects of slang vs. common words or word frequency. In study 2, we used a dual lexical decision task to reveal the effects of word characteristics and propensity for PIU on reaction time (RT) for Internet slang words in pairs with semantically related vs. unrelated common words. Study 2 did not reveal any significant semantic priming effect. Word frequency was a significant predictor of lexical decision facilitation. Common, but not slang, word valence and dominance significantly affected RT in the opposite direction. Individuals with higher cognitive preoccupation with the Internet responded significantly faster, while those more likely to use online communication for mood regulation responded significantly slower to the stimuli. Apparently, on explicit and implicit levels, in-depth knowledge of Internet slang can be one the PIU markers. The results are discussed in line with Davis' approach to determining the general pathological Internet use.

"Girl Math, Boy Math": The Presence of Toxic Masculinity in TikTok and X Jargon

Jargon or slang words have become a norm in everyday online discourses and conversations, with a recent emergence of gendered terminology classifying activities and fashion aesthetics into a type of “girl” or “boy”, both heavily popularized thanks to social media. A notable example is seen in the recent rise of gendered-specific jokes called “girl math”, which is a comedy created by women on the justification of impulse shopping. This phenomenon began to give way to its counterpart called “boy math”. Initially, mockery on male behavior began to expand into the areas of critiquing toxic masculinity and misogyny in society as a whole. Through sampling data from accounts that receive high traction from using such terms on the platforms of X and TikTok, the researcher is interested in conducting an intertextual research using the framework of appraisal and feminist theory in order to elucidate the linguistic nuances and cultural influences stored within these gender-specific terms, ultimately unveiling how they critique male hegemony. This research is hoped to contribute to furthering the understanding of how technology, social media, and language intersect, shaping both learning environments and societal perceptions of gender roles.

Social Media English in Nigeria and the New Crime Wave

This study explores the social media English in Nigeria and the new crime wave. Utilizing the theoretical frameworks of systemic functional linguistics and forensic linguistics, the study adopts a qualitative data analysis approach to examine the linguistic devices used in the portrayal of criminal activities. The research delves into the language of crime, reviewing related literature and analyzing selected posts for their use of specific linguistic devices. These devices include slang and code words, metaphors and euphemisms, sensational headlines, and biased language. The study reveals that these linguistic devices play a crucial role in the construction and perception of criminal activities on social media platforms. Slang and code words, for instance, often serve as a form of coded communication among criminals, while metaphors and euphemisms are used to downplay the severity of criminal acts or to disguise illegal activities. Sensational headlines and biased language, on the other hand, can influence public opinion and perpetuate stereotypes about crime and criminals. This study contributes to the understanding of how language is used in the context of crime on social media platforms, offering valuable insights for law enforcement agencies, policy makers, and researchers in the fields of linguistics and criminology. It underscores the need for further research in this area, particularly in the era of digital communication where language plays a pivotal role in shaping societal narratives about crime.

Recently, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic swept the globe. As a result, the epidemiological situation and restrictive measures in the country brought significant changes to the public life of the whole world including Kazakhstan – changes that even affected the language. Indeed, COVID-19 was an impetus to the formation of new names through the internal resources of the Kazakh language, the productivity of some word-building tools, and the rapid flow of language processes. In fact, the crisis brought on by the pandemic has replenished the vocabulary of all languages of the world with new terms. Although it has, of course, increased medical and ІТ terms, it has also expanded the range of both aggressive vocabulary, jargon and slang words. Furthermore, the stock of lexemes of phobias and agonies has increased. The vocabulary of fear would not be given much importance. Now in world linguistics, the vocabulary of phobias began to form.

РЕАЛІЗАЦІЯ МАРКЕТИНГУ ВЗАЄМОВІДНОСИН ЧЕРЕЗ АЙДЕНТИКУ БРЕНДУ

In the process of research, the importance of using identity as a unified system of a number of elements that complement each other to create a coherent and bright brand was given and substantiated. Based on the leading provisions of the concept of relationship marketing, the feasibility of using brand identity as a tool was substantiated. The purpose of the identity is the formation of a single image of the brand. Identity is no longer a luxury, but a basic part of brand adaptation in the market of potential consumers. Without a coherent, well-thought-out image of the company, even the most unique product and the most sought-after services can simply get lost among the variety of a large number of offers to potential consumers. Brand identity plays one of the leading roles in image formation. The visual identity of well-thought-out and high-quality branded components is the "face" of the brand. By the way, the very word "identity" is a slang word derived from the English concept "identity". But equally important is the balance of the design and the harmonization of all components of the brand identity. It is the identity that allows the product to communicate with the consumer. So, in order for the product to build communication with the consumer, it is necessary to define personal touch points. Іn the study, the main elements of the identity were defined, such as the logo, colors, fonts, placement, graphics, that is, what forms business cards in the future; forms; e-mails; packaging; slogan; brandbook, etc. The research proposed methods of its application depending on the needs of consumers and the model of information levels used by them. In particular, in accordance with the main types of identity: traditional, dynamic, verbal, meaningful. It was assumed that determining the correspondence of the communication model with the consumer is proposed to use the classic pyramid of needs of A. Maslow. Comparing the existing positioning of consumer needs according to A. Maslow's pyramid will provide an opportunity to determine the level of information that will correspond to this need when developing a brand with the help of identity. The scientific novelty of the conducted research lies in the identification of the consumer's information levels with his pyramid of needs according to A. Maslow. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the formation of recommendations for the successful use of identity to create an effective brand. Unsolved problems in research include the need to conduct thorough marketing research preceding the process of creating a band, and the development of appropriate tools and directions for such marketing research. In addition, the importance and principles of creating a slogan in the process of creating a brand can be a separate further research issue.
