Specificity of Slovak masspersonal communication through the optics of media linguistics

The article deals with the issue of Slovak masspersonal communication. In order to describe its specificity, we research etiquette scenarios in online communication between the mayor of the Slovak capital and its inhabitants. We rely on the theory and methodology presented in the works of L. Duskaeva and D. Kępa-Figura, focusing on genre characteristics of initiating texts, specificity of phatic and informational genres implementation, as well as positioning of communication participants. The paper presents the most typical examples of the communication scenario slots between the mayor and the city residents and determines the genre implementation of each slot. We conclude that the statements of the political actor in the analysed polylogues are implemented primarily in the informational genres. Most often in the speech genre of reporting an event, notification, request, gratitude, appeal, warning, explanation, commitment. By initiating a conversation, but also by reacting to the remarks, the political actor seeks, first and foremost, to convey information. In the reactions to texts in the genres that improve or deteriorate interpersonal relations, the scenario of dialogue deployment, in which the political actor also participates, depends on its framing, and more precisely, whether he acts in the role of “mayor”, “architect”, or, for example, in the role of “resident of Bratislava”, “one of us”. The analysis carried out allows us to conclude that signs of person-centred communication can be observed above all in the dialogues of representatives of the general public, which, by initiating a conversation with such thematic dominants as topical issues of life in the capital, are enabled to form and unite as a cohesive community. In the aspect of the study of governmental media communication and the personalisation and positioning of a political actor, however, this study not only touches upon the field of media linguistics but also directly intersects with the field of political linguistics. The article is based on the report that is going to be presented at the XVIII International Congress of Slavists in 2025.

Humorous effect when linguocultural phenomena are included in forum comments to media texts

The paper is devoted to the possibilities of creating a comic effect based on linguocultural signs and concepts in forum comments to media texts. The problem of the comic is studied in the context of the study of value essences and national-cultural meanings, which form the basis of the worldview of the national-cultural community. The material of the study is forum comments on Bulgarian online media publications or reposts of media articles in social networks. Due to the fact that the specificity of modern online communication is the relativity of the disposition of the author-addressee, the addressee is involved in the discussion of the topic, since both media texts and comments on them are usually read. Forum comments as posts written by the addressee under media texts, create a kind of network communication that allows its participants to evaluate the news or express an opinion about the content of the media text and, in some cases, to simply argue with or without reason. The formation of a comic effect on the basis of linguistic and cultural phenomena in forum communication is an important linguo-mental characteristic of the perception of the world by a national-cultural community, as well as a tool for assessing the preservation of cultural tradition. The analysis of linguocultural material involved in creating a comic effect in comments to media texts demonstrates the presence of several types of precedent, the use of phraseological units (paremias, citations, aphorisms), metaphors and concepts. The “transposition” of linguistic and cultural phenomena is based on the discrepancy between the internal and external image, on the violation of the usual syntagmatic relations of linguistic units, the actualization and modification of frame-slot connections, and the ambivalence of semantic realization. The article is based on the report that is going to be presented at the XVIII International Congress of Slavists in 2025.

Dialogue in Slovak social networks

In the conditions of widespread informatization of the communicative space, a new paradigm of communication is gradually being formed. The paradigm can be defined as interactive. In the modern world, virtual communication in social networks has become an integral part of the functioning of society and individuals themselves. Often it is not one of the possible forms of communication, but absolutely the main one — both private and institutional. The fundamental principle of network culture is its installation on communication, interaction, dialogue. The virtual network largely repeats the practices of natural social life, but at the same time forms an alternative network society. A decentered, non-hierarchical and open networked society provides its own system of values, norms and rules of speech behavior, methods of communication, its own communication formats, principles of organization and functioning, in other words, its own culture of dialogue. The focus of this article is the discourse of everyday life in social networks, in which spontaneous second-type dialogue prevails. Such a dialogue is characterized by informality, linguistic improvisation, interdiscursivity, a combination of attributes of oral and written speech. On the basis of the analysis of the methods and speech features of the implementation of communication in the social networks, the general and private (due to the characteristics of the social network as a dialogue platform) features of the virtual dialogue through the prism of its participants (virtual “I”, identities) and the forms of their speech interaction (post and comment) are identified. The image of an authentic dialogue in a social network as a verbal-nonverbal behavior of its participants is formed by analyzing subjective speech acts in combination with their non-verbal discursive action. The article is based on the report that is going to be presented at the XVIII International Congress of Slavists in 2025.

Личностно-профессиональное развитие педагога: современное осмысление и инновационная практика

The article describes the process of preparation, holding and results of the XVIII International Scientific and Practical Conference “Strategies and Resources for the Personal and Professional Development of a Teacher: Modern Reading and Systemic Practice”, which took place on July 4–5, 2022, on the basis of the Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education in Moscow. The results of the conference are considered in the context of a task related to determining the conditions under which a person’s transition from development caused by external influences and oriented to external sources of reinforcement to conscious self-development takes place. The solution of this theoretical problem is intended to become the basis for developing strategies, resources and methods for the personal and professional development of a teacher, the use of which in educational practice will help the student to enter the trajectory of self-determination and self-realization.

Academician L. A. Vaisberg’s contribution to advancement in coal beneficiation

Coal as one of the main strategic materials has always been an objective of scientific thought for many scientists. To date, coal is still competitive with hydrocarbon sources. The coal industry is developing in its own way and remains a priority for many countries. This is due, first, to the use of coking coals for the metallurgical industry, for which there is, as of today, no alternative. The existing huge resources and the newly discovered coal deposits in Russia are the impetus for the development of new beneficiation and deep processing technologies. The research in the field of coal beneficiation using dry processing methods is ongoing in Russia and worldwide, thanks to the fundamental foundations laid by the great modern scientist Leonid Abramovich Vaisberg. The development of scientific and methodological framework for the dry coal beneficiation processes has always been one of the priorities of Mekhanobr-Tekhnika Research and Engineering Corporation and its Head Academician of RAS L.A. Vaisberg. In the framework of XVIII International Congress on Coal Preparation (ICPCI-2016) in Saint Petersburg, held by the Mining University, and during the further work in India and Australia, a large amount of joint research work was carried out. Leonid Abramovich remained a member of the International Organizational Committee (IOC) for 5 years and until his last days, and team-worked with the staff of the Mining University. This gave a strong impetus to the development and continuation of coal-related research in the University’s scientific environment. Leonid Abramovich Vaisberg, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a leading specialist in Russia in the field of mineral and mining waste management, mining engineering, theory of design, as well as operation of vibrating machines and devices used in mining, construction, industrial and municipal waste recycling has made a huge contribution to the development of the international and national coal industry.

Human Science in the Pandemic Era: Rerview of the XVIII International Scientific Conference "Onomastics of the Volga Region"

The article describes the range of onomastic research presented at the XVIII International scientific conference "Onomastics of the Volga region". This conference was held on September 9-10, 2020 in the Kostroma city on the basis of Kostroma State University. For more than fifty years, it has united onomastics researchers from Russia and countries of the near and far abroad. Reports on the theory and methods of onomastic research, various aspects of the study of various categories of proper names, sources of onomastic research, and onomastic periphery were delivered and discussed at the plenary and breakout sessions of the conference. For the first time, sacred onomastics was included in the range of issues discussed. The organizing committee and the conference participants noted the difficult conditions of the infection pandemic of COVID-19 in which the conference was held, however, the fact that the annual meeting of onomastics researchers took place suggests that onomastics, the science of man and for man, is a truly demanded and relevant branch of modern linguistics.

Elders’ and young adults’ perceptions and attitudes towards languages in contact in multilingual Friuli-Venezia Giulia: A comparison to inform language teaching within an intergenerational perspective

The overall research project framing the present contribution fits within studies on plurilinguals’ language attitudes, studies on language learning motivation, on lifelong language learning and on language learning in old age, its aim being to understand whether elders and young adults could be successfully involved in language learning and teaching within an intergenerational perspective. The research has been carried out in the Friulian-speaking area of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Our main focus here is on the first phase of the wider research, which, starting from Baker (1992), consists in a quantitative survey on elders’ and young adults’ habits of use and perceptions with reference to the languages they are mainly in contact with in their everyday life (i.e., Italian, Friulian, English). The aim of this exploratory investigation is to define elders’ and young adults’ profiles and identify the most relevant similarities and differences between the two categories of subjects, with special regard to their relationship with the local minority language (Friulian) and the global international language (English). Findings from the quantitative survey will be presented, together with a preliminary discussion of possible implications for language teaching within an intergenerational perspective.

History of the Russian Empire in the context of theoretical and legal analysis (To the 300th anniversary of the Russian Empire)

The review of the XVIII International Scientific Conference "State and Law: evolution, current state, development prospects (to the 300th anniversary of the Russian Empire)" was held on April 29-30, 2021 at the St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Russian Empire existed on the political map of the world from October 22 (November 2), 1721 until the February Revolution and the overthrow of the Monarchy on March 3, 1917. The Russian Empire was the third largest state that ever existed (after the British and Mongolian Empires): It extended to the Arctic Ocean in the north and the Black Sea in the south, to the Baltic Sea in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east. The Russian Empire was one of the great powers along with Great Britain, France, Prussia (Germany) and Austria-Hungary, and since the second half of the XIX century – also Italy and the United States. The capital of the Russian Empire was St. Petersburg (1721 - 1728), Moscow (1728 - 1732), then again St. Petersburg (1732 - 1917), renamed Petrograd in 1914. Therefore, it is natural that a conference dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the formation of the Russian Empire was held in St. Petersburg, the former imperial capital. The conference was devoted to problems concerning various aspects of the organization and functioning of the state and law, a retrospective analysis of the activities of state bodies in the Russian Empire. The discussion focused on various issues: the character of the Russian Empire as a socio-legal phenomenon and the subject of the legitimate use of state coercion, the development of political and legal thought, the regulatory and legal foundations of the organization and functioning of the Russian state in the XVIII century – at the beginning of the XX century, the characteristics of state bodies as an element of the mechanism of the imperial state in Russia, the organizational and legal bases of the activities of bodies that manage the internal affairs of the Russian Empire, as well as the image of state authorities and officials-representatives of state power.
