The present study explores crisis communications in media space of wartime Ukraine that imply the use of technologies aimed at diagnosing, predicting, and managing crises and, whenever possible, neutralizing their negative consequences. The findings indicate that the identity narrative is the foundation for the ideological matrix of Ukrainian strategic communications during the Russia-Ukraine war. This master narrative outlines the fundamental features and values of the distinctive and unique Ukrainian nation defending its sovereignty and statehood. Not surprisingly, all other pro-Ukrainian narratives draw on this master narrative because the aggressor's primary goal is to destroy the country's nationhood and devalue democratic aspirations and pro-European/ pro-Western orientations of its citizens. Crisis communications practices indicate that wartime texts should be short, with balanced factual and emotional parts and a personal message – "Address the whole people and every one of them!" These communication principles have dominated public speeches, including those of the top diplomatic officials, from the start of the third stage of the war. The crisis faced by Ukrainian society during wartime has brought to the forefront a growing number of specific suggestive texts that support the main strategic narratives and boost the morale of citizens – creolized (multimodal) texts that are disseminated through traditional and new media, social networks, combining different information codes (verbal, visual and musical texts). These texts effectively and positively influence Ukrainian society and simultaneously objectify narratives rich in emotional description. The activation of these forms is the result of tension release through creativity. Traditionally used to exert manipulative influence on individuals, this form may prove effective in crisis communication situations due to its propensity to quickly neutralize the state of uncertainty, which is difficult for the psyche.

The article is devoted to stylistic functions of literary phraseology in media communication. The author opinion that the media sphere is a special type of verbalized language consciousness that commensurates with actual processes of language development is formulated and argued. Language markers, representative for the media, their origin, functional resource, effective forms of presentation, analysis of the ability to influence the semantic development of language and form the cultural field of modern mass consciousness are important issues for a linguist in such investigation objectivity. The emphasis is made on the fact that the active processes of development of modern information societies cause the transformation of language communication, in particular in the media, where the functional intentions of the literary word and phraseology are significant and effective. The functions of literary phraseology of biblical origin, author's phraseology of Ukrainian writers in media communication are considered, primarily from the point of view of their transformation, ability to unite the text. Special attention is also focused on the intertextual possibilities of literary phraseology as the ability of intercultural semantic circles to outline the associative aesthetic and ethical potential of modern European culture. The author interprets the intentions of phraseological units as multivariate communicative units, characterized by semantic field, aptness, stability and the mentioned emotional, expressive potential, that collectively allows to perform a manipulative function and strengthen the influence on the recipient's consciousness. The use of literary phraseology in the media, which is determined by the expressive potential of these language units, the conciseness of the form, the ability to symbolize, to combine humanistic ideas and intercultural ties of modern civilization, is elaborated. Emphasis is placed on the expediency and perspective of interpreting the possibilities of literary phraseology in the active communicative space of the media.

This case study examines the neologism Brexit, defined in OED as "the (proposed) withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and political processes associated with it." Coined in May 2012, this word quickly gained media currency in the United Kingdom and abroad. The political coinage has become an internationalism, i.e., it has achieved global recognition and entered other languages in its original meaning and form. After an unprecedented surge in use (by astronomical 3 400%), Brexit was declared the 2016 word of the year by Collins Dictionary and gained entry to the Oxford English Dictionary. This study explores the word's characteristics and use in the media. The data were collected from British internet magazines and newspapers and the NOW corpus (News on the Web) for the time period from May 2012 to January 2023. The study argues that the word Brexit has the following features of a keyword: social significance, high frequency, wide use in various contexts, occurrence in strong media positions, metaphorical creativity, and neological productivity. Brexit appears on magazine covers, newspaper front pages, and in headlines. Reflecting heated debates on the British exit from the EU, the word has acquired new and controversial meanings and become a rich source of word formation, thus giving rise to numerous neologisms collectively referred to as Brexit glossary or Brexicon. This glossary of Brexit terms includes "old" English words and expressions that have acquired new meanings and political terms used in everyday discussions about Brexit. The most significant contribution of the word Brexit to present-day English is the new productive suffix -exit that, transcending the boundaries of political discourse, has come into use in various other domains.

The article deals with peculiarities of perfume advertisements, in particular, their visual semiotic mode structure and its constituents creating the recognitive features of this mode. Constituents-details are recognized as visual formal elements which bear main and significative visual information. The central objects of this research are perfume advertisements and their visual formal elements which create the whole visual semiotic structure. All formal elements are divided into three functional groups according to their function in the visual space of advertisements. Primary group of visual formal elements performs the delimitative function. This function represents the contouring of formal elements as separate objects (product, model, and background). Secondary group of visual formal elements provides the embodiment. This function represents the outline, when formal elements of the primary group are filled with structural components – formal elements (line, plane, composition, depth (space), shape). Intermediate group of visual formal elements performs the colourative function when formal elements of primary and secondary groups are coloured. This group is formed with variations of colours. Within the visual semiotic mode each group (primary, secondary, and intermediate) includes formal elements which demonstrate complex and integrative nature of visual inner structural organisation. Visual formal element of any group has its own boundary, shape, or outline, border and function. Another feature of formal elements is a set of parameters. They are recognized as qualitative and quantitative characteristics of formal elements. Parameters are bearers of attributes. The main function of parameters is to accompany any formal element making it distinctive, recognizable, well-developed. Division of formal elements into some related and corresponding smaller sub-elements reflects the integrated and complex nature of visual semiotic mode and its formal elements. Formal elements are separated into sub-elements. Simultaneously parameters are dissociated into sub-parameters. Correlation of formal element-parameter reflects the boundaries between these units as clear-cut. Boundaries in the system of sub-units (sub-element – sub-parameter) are diffusive. Integrated nature of visual semiotic mode is connected with the existence of intermediate sub-state which is formed with corresponding sub-units. These sub-units function together in the state of self-equilibrium which gives the visual semiotic mode some flexibility. It happens when boundary between sub-units becomes diffusive and transparent. Sub-elements and sub-parameters percolate mutually through that weakened boundary. That mutual percolating leads to the mutual mixing when recognitive features of sub-elements and sub-parameters become common and shared for sub-units. Flexibility is supported with the dense net of sub-parameters and colouration of all visual formal elements.

The article examines the issue of changing of scientific paradigms and strategies of analysis, the formation of new research areas in modern times. Current statements of Western epistemology regarding the transformation of the scientific worldview from traditional spheres of knowledge to functional, communicative, syncretic, typical for the information age are commented. The logic of Jacqueline Rus's argument according to the radical changes in modern science, commensurate with the development of humanity and societies, is clarified. The essence of intellectual processes in current linguistics is analyzed, when a strong interest in the functional capabilities of the language has been formed since the end of the 19th century, instead of the traditional attention to the system and structural description of the language. The functional resource of language is interpreted in the article as an immanent property revealed in stylistic modifications of genres and texts. At the same time, the stylistic polyphony of texts, cognition of their communicative harmony with the purpose and objectivity of communication give rise to new research directions in linguistics – media linguistics, political and business linguistics, linguistic imagelogy, etc. Linguistic imageology as a special research field of scientific interests in philology is still being formed as a systematic direction. Syncretic in essence, linguoimageology determines the main parameters of the discipline – object, subject of analysis, strategies, tactics, methods of language activity, specific methods of text analysis, etc. in discussions and ambiguous formulations. The article presents a link for the first publication in this field – "Linguistic imageology: dictionary of terms and concepts" as a model and a possible criterion for systematic linguoimageology research. The edition conceptually forms the main categories and concepts of the direction, presents scientific definitions based on the researched locus of the functional and communicative language resource of the information world correlated with other directions of humanities.

The article analyzes techniques and linguistic means of legitimation by naturalization in the news. It summarizes definitions of naturalization used in scientific works and classifies them into three groups: (1) representation of actions as something typical or "inevitable result of natural characteristics"; (2) omission of an alternative perspective, which makes mentioned one look like common sense; (3) treating naturalization and normalization as synonyms. The research also explains how different academics modify these definitions. Additionally, two main approaches to the relationship between legitimation and naturalization are singled out. Drawing on T. van Leeuwen's monograph (2008), influential for many studies of CDA, this research analyzes naturalization techniques in the popular news articles (during June 2020 – May 2021) published on the 25 most visited Ukrainian media. We suggest that naturalization should include not only evaluation, as T. van Leeuwen believes, but also theoretical rationalization. That's because naturalization by explanation, definition, and prediction, which constitute theoretical rationalization, and evaluation have a common basis for legitimation; the difference is only in the chosen linguistic means. The study proves that T. van Leeuwen's framework needs to be clarified since speakers can also use the purpose, abstraction, and analogy for legitimation by naturalization. Besides, the specificity of naturalization – it justifies action by representing the latter as usual and natural, not through relating it with values – enables its unique role in legitimation. Its linguistic means do not have positive or negative connotations, and by using them, speakers try to present their negative acts as neutral and ordinary. This attribute facilitates applying naturalization in response to criticism from the public or opponents. Analyzed data enables us to assert that naturalization is used for this purpose much more often than to justify something new. The research also singles out linguistic means of legitimation by naturalization.
文章分析了新闻中归化合法化的手法和语言手段。它总结了科学著作中使用的归化定义,并将其分为三类:(1)将行为表征为典型的或“自然特征的必然结果”;(2)遗漏了另一种观点,这使得所提到的观点看起来像是常识;(3)将归化与规格化等同对待。该研究还解释了不同的学者如何修改这些定义。此外,还提出了两种主要的方法来研究合法化和归化之间的关系。T. van Leeuwen的专著(2008年)对CDA的许多研究都有影响,本研究分析了在25家访问量最大的乌克兰媒体上发表的流行新闻文章(2020年6月至2021年5月)中的入籍技术。我们建议归化不仅要包括评价(如T. van Leeuwen所认为的),还要包括理论合理化。这是因为解释、定义和预测的归化构成了理论上的合理化,而评价的归化具有共同的正当性基础;区别只是在选择的语言手段上。研究证明,T. van Leeuwen的框架需要澄清,因为说话者也可以使用目的、抽象和类比来通过归化来合法化。此外,归化的特殊性- -它通过将后者表示为通常和自然的行为来证明其正当性,而不是通过将其与价值联系起来- -使其在合法化方面发挥独特作用。它的语言手段没有积极或消极的内涵,说话者通过使用这些语言手段,试图把自己的消极行为表现得中性和普通。这一属性有助于在面对公众或反对者的批评时申请入籍。经过分析的数据使我们能够断言,入籍是为了这个目的,而不是为了证明新事物的合理性。该研究还指出了归化合法化的语言手段。

The article substantiates the thesis about the interdisciplinary nature of media linguistics as an innovative field of modern knowledge. Therefore, media linguistics is an interdisciplinary humanitarian discipline that studies the functional potential of language means in mass communication. The research potential of neoscience is described and systematized in an "Media Linguistics: Dictionary of Terms and Concepts" (Kyiv, 2013) innovative lexicographic edition, which gave an impetus to analyze the terminology of the modern neo-direction through the prism of ten years. Among the perspective tasks, the authors note the interpretation of language as a instrumentality for modeling information and influencing public opinion, taking into account the challenges of the information age, studying unexpected angles of analysis of linguistic and stylistic resources in the media, etc. A separate task is the formation and analysis of the media-linguistic terminology in the context of the diffuseness of modern humanitarian knowledge. As for every innovative science, the development and description of a terminological system, which must correspond to logic, integrity, monosemacy, clarity, motivation, and relevance, remains problematic for media linguistics. The complexity of this process, as stated in the article, is revealed due to the syncretic relationships of the analyzed terminology system with other, tangential to it, fields – psychology, sociology, cultural studies, law, cybernetics, social communications, etc. On the material of media dictionaries not only of Ukrainian, but also of Polish, German and English languages, the author analyzed the terms and concepts in the specified interdisciplinary contacts, which allows to prove the integral nature of media linguistics and determine its place in the system of modern sciences of the socio-humanitarian block.

As for every innovative science, the development and description of a terminological system, which must correspond to logic, integrity, monosemacy, clarity, motivation, and relevance, remains problematic for media linguistics. The complexity of this process, as stated in the article, is revealed due to the syncretic relationships of the analyzed terminology system with other, tangential to it, fields – psychology, sociology, cultural studies, law, cybernetics, social communications, etc. On the material of media dictionaries not only of Ukrainian, but also of Polish, German and English languages, the author analyzed the terms and concepts in the specified interdisciplinary contacts, which allows to prove the integral nature of media linguistics and determine its place in the system of modern sciences of the socio-humanitarian block.","PeriodicalId":34830,"journal":{"name":"Aktual''ni problemi ukrains''koi lingvistiki teoriia i praktika","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73197515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article argues a thesis about the state, potential, nature of functions and resources of the mass media space, that dynamizes the style and genre paradigm of communication in this area. The crossing of cultural fields, marked by individual linguostylistic, semantic dominants, which, combining in a new context, actualizes the appearance of new phenomena, genres or their communicative invariants. It is such extralinguistic realities that motivate the syncretic nature of edutainment in the permanent dynamics of social verbal interaction. The author's attention is focused on the analysis of edutainment, that increases the genre representation of its tasks, which are based on a system of strategies and tactics of entertainment with the ultimate educational goal. So, the genres of lifehack, intellectual, educational, language, culinary, travel, etc. shows, specialized didactic media projects for the study of various educational disciplines, etc. are updated today. The linguistic and stylistics features confirm their syncretic functional nature, commensurate with the resource potential of mass media and scientific styles. The communicative dynamics of edutainment is argued in the context of the modern educational process' nature, which takes place in conditions of a rapid increase in the amount of new information. Technical progress motivates the attraction of the mass audience to new forms of obtaining such information. And therefore digitalization and personalization of it is becoming more important. Obviously, it actualizes the emergence of "entertaining" learning technology, synchronized with the functional nature of edutainment. This, in turn, actualizes the cognitive paradigm of the mass media, developing their communicative potential in the discursive context of the syncretism of the functional and stylistic resource. Contextual material allows to illustrate the optimization of the entertainment media segment, which increasingly functions as an effective component of the information paradigm. And as a result – as a didactic resource for learning the world in a media format. In the context of its dynamics, this tendency is represented in the actualization of the lifehack. Linguostylistics of this genre is characterized by a contrasting combination of educational and entertainment functions of the language, which is synchronized with the communicative requests of the modern mass audience.

The article presents the etymologic and the linguacultural analysis of concepts VOLUNTEER and VOLUNTEERING. Etymologic analysis of lexeme-identifier a "volunteer" allowed to define the basic stages of acquisition by it connotations taking into account the cultural and historical context of different countries, namely the United States of America, Germany, Ukraine, etc. The influence of social factors on the acquisition of new meanings by the lexeme-identifier, in particular quasi-military, is determined. It is focused on the fact that in the German and East-Slavic language cultures there are two linguistic units to denote a person who performs work for the benefit of others at his own will. On the basis of the analysis of Ukrainian-language sources, the presence of two lexemes with the same meaning has been proven – the borrowing "volunteer", which came into Ukrainian at the end of the 19th century, and the lexeme ohotnyk- to denote civilians who voluntarily performed actions for the benefit of others, but it was lost during the 20th century. It was determined that in the English, German and Ukrainian linguistic cultures, the linguistic unit "volunteer" acquired a civilian/quasi-military meaning and creates an opposition to the unit with a military meaning. The article also considers cases of the language unit "volunteer" usage in the modern information space. The linguistic and cultural analysis of the concepts VOLUNTEER and VOLUNTEERING demonstrated their discourse-creating potential, the gradual expansion of the pragmatic possibilities of their use both at the state level and in interpersonal communications. So, with the development of a civilized society, these concepts acquired new meanings, which are discussed in detail in the article.

The article presents a retrospective analysis of jurislinguistic knowledge in the context of Western science. The basic principles of legal linguistics as a neophilological direction of modern humanities are determined, the ideas of new scientific concepts that are dominant in the Western world are actualized, the key principles of jurisliguistics as a prospective field are determined. There were comprehensively analyzed the papers on jurislinguistics, linguoexpertology, linguoconflictology, which are authoritative in modern science. Emphasis is made, in particular, on the Canadian, American and Western European (French, German, Polish, Czech, etc.) schools of jurisliguistics as fundamental in the formation of neodirection. Thus, the American school is associated with the name of P. Tiersma, who introduced the concept of 'legal linguistics' into scientific area; for the Canadian school, the key aspect of the analysis was in the connection between social linguistics and law, which was realized in the works of J. Tori, D. Heller, etc.; in France at the initiative of progressive linguists A. Martin, J. Ray and others the International Society for Functional Linguistics was established, and it is also associated with legal linguistics development. In the Slavic world, jurislinguistics was especially actualized in Poland (J. Brzezki, A. Malinowski, etc.) and in Czech Republic (W. Knapp). Nowadays, jurislinguistics is actively developing in local fields – legal stylistics, forensic examination, legal translation, legal terminology, history of legal language, legal linguomethodology, etc. The authors analyze various studies and the publications of the most influential schools in this interdisciplinary field. The main achievements and prospects of development of linguistic approaches in connection with the needs of justice in the globalized world are discussed. Particular attention is paid to scientific problems that have not yet been considered in the modern jurislinguistics literature.
本文对西方科学背景下的法律语言学知识进行了回顾性分析。确定了法律语言学作为现代人文学科新语言学方向的基本原则,实现了在西方世界占主导地位的新科学概念思想,确定了法法学作为未来研究领域的主要原则。对现代科学中具有权威性的法律语言学、语言专家学、语言冲突学等方面的论文进行了综合分析。特别强调的是,加拿大、美国和西欧(法国、德国、波兰、捷克等)的法学学派是新方向形成的基础。因此,美国学派与P. Tiersma的名字联系在一起,他将“法律语言学”的概念引入了科学领域;对于加拿大学派来说,分析的重点在于社会语言学与法律的联系,这在J. Tori、D. Heller等人的著作中得到了体现;在法国进步语言学家A. Martin, J. Ray等人的倡议下,国际功能语言学学会成立了,它也与法律语言学的发展有关。在斯拉夫世界,法律语言学在波兰(J. Brzezki, A. Malinowski等)和捷克共和国(W. Knapp)得到了特别的实现。目前,法律语言学在法律文体学、法医检验、法律翻译、法律术语学、法律语言史、法律语言方法学等领域蓬勃发展。作者分析了这一跨学科领域中最具影响力的学派的各种研究和出版物。讨论了与全球化世界中正义需求相关的语言学方法的主要成就和发展前景。本书特别关注现代法律语言学文献中尚未考虑到的科学问题。
