DOI 10.51955/2312-1327_2021_4_21

Аnna А. Litvintceva

Abstract. The article focuses on the peculiarities of irony in the primary and secondary German political discourse. The object of the study is primary and secondary German political discourse. The subject of the study is irony and the language means that express it. The study was based on public oral and written statements by German-speaking politicians, as well as publications on political topics in the international media.  Politicians always manipulate public consciousness through language. Irony is used in politicians’ speech to increase its expressiveness and to increase its impact on the audience. To monitor and analyze the results of the use of irony, the author emphasizes the necessity to divide political discourse into primary and secondary and offers its own vision of these concepts. Recently, in modern political discourse, the significance of such a term as political correctness has increased. Politicians often violate the laws of political correctness, and their controversial statements cause public outcry. This article examines examples of such ironic statements by politicians and examples of broadcast of these judgments by representatives of the media. The results of the study demonstrate the deliberate use of irony by German politicians in their speech.

Key words: irony, primary political discourse, secondary political discourse, impact, political correctness.

Digital tools in psycholinguistic research

DOI 10.51955/2312-1327_2021_4_123

Ksenia S. Kardanova-Biryukova

Abstract. The paper looks into new ways of designing and conducting a psycholinguistic experiment through the use of modern digital tools. It is a well-known fact that psycholinguistics first appeared as a science aimed at resolving research issues by means of an experiment. As a result, it focused on developing various experimental tools and approaches to process the experimental data obtained. Yet, as of today, there are various digital tools which can assist in conducting such research and facilitate some of the procedures involved. The author analyses a number of experiments run in person or as a team with PhD students to identify such problems and suggest ways of adopting digital tools to overcome them. Central to the research are online platforms for conducting large-scale social experiments and statistical packages for processing the experimental data. The findings of the current analysis suggest that digital tools may be instrumental in helping experiments run by Russian researchers stand up to the international academic standards and bringing such experiments which are characterized by non-trivial designs, novel objectives and consistent experimental logic to the fore on the international scale.

Keywords: psycholinguistics, experimental research, digital tools, statistical analysis, design of the experiment.

Galina V. Mikhaleva

Abstract. The article discusses the technologies and methods of conducting university classes with the elements of film education that contribute to promoting students’ civic engagement based on Russian social drama films. The main research method is a critical analysis of audiovisual media texts about acute social problems of our time, including the analysis of the social stereotypes representations, character analysis, plot analysis and ethical analysis of media representations.

Interdiscourse of information and psychological warfare as a type of conciental weapon

DOI 10.51955/2312-1327_2021_4_77

Artyom A. Khabarov

Abstract. The article is devoted to the linguistic analysis of the cognitive and communicative mechanism of indoctrination of target-objects in the paradigm of information and psychological warfare initiated by the collective West, led by the United States, with the aim of destroying the integral potential of the opposing states by non-combat means. The author’s concept focuses on language as an instrument of ideological influence carried out at the macro level in the format of interdiscourse, explicated in the spheres of social communication in the form of polarized discursive practices. Using the methods of semantic-structural, conceptual and pragmatic analysis, the author reveals the specifics of the verbalization of communication strategies used for mental influence and speech stimulation in the English-language discourse, identifies the lexical means of secondary nomination and ideological markers of linguocognitive manipulation. As a result of the study, it is concluded that the forms and methods of modeling the interdiscursive environment in the global media, methods of ideological polarization of speech, as well as the specifics of their communicative use for the purpose of manipulating consciousness identify the interdiscourse of information and psychological warfare as a type of conciental weapon.

Keywords: interdiscourse, information and psychological warfare, communication strategy, means of secondary nomination, ideological polarization, linguocognitive manipulation.

The special concept ПОДДАННЫЙ [SUBJECT] as a discoursive historism of russian constitutional intertext

Posted on by

DOI 10.51955/2312-1327_2021_4_64

Darya M. Tataurova

Abstract. In the article analysis of a special concept ПОДДАННЫЙ was provided. The concept is considered as one of the basic parts of the Fundamental Laws of the Russian Empire that is a pretextual base of Russian constitutional intertext. This type of intertext is viewed as a constantly modified synthetic product, which includes legal and political discursive categories. The concept ПОДДАННЫЙ [SUBLECT] is a discursive predecessor of its modern quasisynonym ГРАЖДАНИН [CITIZEN].  The term «подданный» is a hyperonym reflecting political and law linguistic picture of the world during the historical period of the Russian Empire and characterized by lexico-semantic element «allegiance». A complicated structure of the lingvocognitive category correlating with the term given is studied by means of prototypical approach that makes possible to determine components and their position. Category ПОДДАННЫЙ includes several hyponyms with the same name reflecting the variety of a political and law status of a person. This variety allows to describe the correlating term as a polysemic one.

Key words: subject, intertext, constitutional intertext, significatum, significative feature, referent, prototypical approach.
