Abstract. The article addresses the issue of internal classification of educational media discourse. Educational media discourse is analyzed from a linguopragmatic perspective as a polyaspectual meaning-generating and form-modeling communicative system that reflects the specifics of verbal interaction among participants in educational communication. Relevant parameters for classifying educational media discourse include genre-thematic parameter, contextual conditioning parameter, and linguopragmatic parameter. The genre-thematic parameter allows differentiating subtypes of educational media discourse based on dominant communicative goals, imagined images of sender and receiver, dictum content of texts, and significant characteristics of their linguistic embodiment. The contextual conditioning parameter enables distinguishing subtypes of educational media discourse by taking into account its pragmatic and sociocultural relevance with regard to individual-personal and conventional features of both sender and receiver. The linguopragmatic parameter makes it possible to consider dominant directions of pragmatic components’ actualization by senders, as well as the degree of involvement of subjects (both senders and receivers) in their verbal interaction. Subtypes of educational media discourse identified through these parameters are presented in the resulting scheme of internal classification of educational media discourse.

Keywords: educational mediadiscourse, parameters of discourse classification, genre-thematic parameter, context-conditioned parameter, linguopragmatic parameter, linguistic pragmatics.

Abstract. Fairy tale is constantly changing during cultural evolution and technological progress adapting to the new realities through embracing many modern discourses. As a result, a new (hybrid) discourse is being formed, characterized by certain style and plot features. In this article, we make an attempt to analyze one of these hybrid discourses: namely fairy tale film discourse. Taking into account that the main representative of the fairy tale film discourse is a screen adaptation of a magical folktale, the analysis is carried out by studying lexical, semantic and stylistic features of its film dialogue (verbal component). The analysis reveals factors that can influence the relationship between the film version of the fairy tale and its literary basis. The preservation of the main conflict, basic values and main characteristics of the classic fairy tale in the film text as well as the creative development of the original are elucidated. Additionally, some ways of creating a comic effect in fairy tale film discourse are highlighted.

Keywords: discourse, discourse analysis, fairy tale film discourse, film text, film dialogue, screen adaptation, German folktales, Grimms’ fairy tales.

Abstract. The study considers the issue of linguocultural types as recognizable images of individuals whose specific verbal and non-verbal behavioral characteristics and value dimensions significantly impact the culture of a particular society.  The background of the research is the theory of linguocultural types proposed by V.I. Karasik. The paper brings into focus conceptual, figurative features and value dimensions of the professional linguocultural type columnist. Of particular concern in the study is the value component of the linguocultural type columnist. The author claims that the core value of the linguocultural type columnist is based on the conceptual properties ‘personality’, ‘individuality’, ‘character’ of the columnist. The linguistic personality of the columnist is viewed as a bearer of personal views, individual opinions and intellectual qualities. The findings of the study can be applied in courses on cultural linguistics, media discourse and pragmatics.

Key words: linguocultural type, linguistic personality, concept, column, columnist, value characteristics, media discourse.

Abstract. The article analyses the modifications of the concept «limita» in the context of song discourse. To solve this problem, the method of analysis of dictionary definitions and inductive frame allocation, discursive and stylistic analysis, conceptual analysis, description of cognitive metaphor, and contextual interpretation were used. The study reveals the expansion of the concept through several key frames, including social, economic, emotional, historical and «migration» ones. Considering the given concept from different points of view, the frame analysis reveals its social, economic, emotional, historical and migration aspects. The analysis of the concept «limita» serves as an example of how song discourse can reflect and shape social stereotypes. The study shows that song discourse not only entertains, but also performs an important social function, contributing to the formation of public opinion and identity.

Keywords: concept, anti-concept, frame, song discourse, linguoculturology, cognitive linguistics, functions of discourse.
