 Moral grounds for arguing in public deliberation The purpose of the article is to show what types of moral argumentation are involved in debates and public deliberation, and how their impact is carried out. The research focuses on socio-political communication as its object. The research method consists in the analysis of the dispute and deliberation with the tools of the theories of argumentation and deliberation with the involvement of elements of political philosophy. The substantive methodological basis is the differentiation of four tasks of the dispute and public deliberation: actional, interactional, epistemic and public, where the main thing is to make a decision about action. The research results are as follows. In communicative interaction aimed at making a decision, there are three stages: deliberation about the agenda, dispute on the merits of the case, deliberation about action. The agent acts here in three roles - as a political subject, seeking or defending its subjectivity, as an expert and as a practitioner. I identify two levels of moral coercion. The first concerns the implementation of the rules that are associated with each of the roles. The second concerns the relationship between the group and the representative acting on its behalf. In public deliberation, he fulfills his obligations to the group. A failed dispute sets a precedent for communication with a relaxation of moral coercion, which sets a precedent. The general conclusion concerns the role of moral foundations. The danger of the lack of communication requires from the parties to deliberation and from the groups they represent to constantly put forward arguments of a moral nature in order to force representatives to fulfill their obligations to the group, and the parties to the dispute and deliberation to follow its rules. 10.18721/JHSS.12401 162.6 deliberation morality argumentation dispute agenda https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.1/ 7-18.pdf

 Analytical potential of the LMS Moodle for monitoring the quality of personification Due to the digital transformation of education, there is an active development of blended learning, e-learning courses, electronic educational resources, and educational platforms. This fact leads to the accumulation of big data amount that can hide useful information of users' interactions. Modern educational analytics allow us to detect patterns of student behavior in the data, to build individual educational routes and to use new knowledge to personification of learning and to improve the quality of the educational process using new tools. The article shows which data analysis technologies can be used to design different levels of personification of the digital educational environment. Special attention is paid to the study of the possibilities of the MOODLE distance learning system for the analysis of the accumulated educational data. The article identifies and describes four groups of data analytics tools from LMS MOODLE courses. Using the standard analytical capabilities of MOODLE and other tools, an experimental study was carried out on the example of analytics of a specific distance course with elements of personification. 10.18721/JHSS.12402 371.321.1 learning analytics personification of learning LMS Moodle data mining digital educational environment educational data mining Moodle data analysis https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.2/ 19-34.pdf

 Feasibility of considering students’ opinion essays in language course when developing a survey The article analyzes feasibility of application of content analysis to opinion essays written by the students completing their upper-intermediate (B2) English course. The purpose of the study consisted in improving the quality of students’ feedback received from the participants of the annual quality assurance survey and enhancing the blended learning model utilized in the English classroom. The experiment conducted by a group of English instructors employed by ITMO University, Saint Petersburg, Russia. In the course of the experiment, ITMO University researchers tested a new approach to drafting surveys by subjecting students’ online opinion essays with a correlating topic (“Online Education: a Blessing or a Curse?”) to content analysis to identify the benefits and drawbacks of online education not included in the original survey drafted by the instructors, that students deemed important. After the content analysis, the list of categories remained unchanged; the share of new problems voiced by the students in their essays (12) amounted to 43% of the total number of answers included in the draft survey (28); almost all problems from the draft survey, except for two, were mentioned in the students’ essays. Therefore, it can be concluded that the degree of coincidence of the opinions of students and instructors regarding online education was rather high; new problems voiced in a limited number of students’ essays resonated with a considerable number of survey respondents, which means the survey drafting procedure should be more integrated and should ensure engagement of the prospective survey respondents. 10.18721/JHSS.12403 378 opinion essay online education online course online ESL course content analysis of essays questionnaire survey https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.3/ 35-45.pdf

 Corpus technologies in research and education: analysing english noun phrases in scientific texts Methods of applied linguistics today are largely determined by text processing tools available not only to researchers, but also to a wide range of users. The article demonstrates that text corpora and corpus tools may be well applied to both research and teaching of the structure and composition of such complicated units as multi-component noun phrases (NPs). Based on original text corpora, the research focuses on syntactic and structural characteristics and transformations of multi-component NPs, namely noun+noun constructions, within a text. The article also proves their role as markers of text complexity and scientific style. As the complexity of NPs requires special skills facilitating both reading and writing scientific texts, the article suggests a procedure of treating NPs in special text corpora, compiled by the learner or novice author of their own discipline texts, that helps to identify, “unpack” and compose NPs. The method proposed is based on some published practice and the authors’ personal experience in teaching students to deal with NPs in scientific and technical texts. 10.18721/JHSS.12404 8'33 noun phrase (NP) multi-component NP scientific text text corpus corpus technologies https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.4/ 46-59.pdf

 Selection of term extractors to identify nominations of language policy concepts in the texts of official documents of the European Union Term extractors are automatic tools that help identify term candidates in a corpus. The diversity of term extractors requires the development of criteria that allow their selection for specific research tasks. The purpose of this article is to carry out a comparative analysis of term extractors in terms of their accessibility and effectiveness when extracting term candidates from the corpora to solve a specific research problem, namely the inventory of nominations of language policy concepts from the texts of official documents of the European Union. The study is based on a set of modern scientific methods, namely taxonomic method, explanatory description, generalization, comparative analysis. The study analyses 5 term extractors, namely, AntConc, fivefilters.org, OneClick Terms, TerMine, Terminology Extraction and corpus query tool Sketch Engine. The taxonomic analysis identified the optimal tools according to the criteria: the online extractor OneClick Terms and the corpus query tool Sketch Engine. These tools were then compared in terms of solving the research problem mentioned above. In order to test the term extractors in terms of their effectiveness, the results were compared with a list of manually extracted terms, which then allowed the application of the criteria of completeness and accuracy traditionally used in information retrieval to compare the performance of the extractors. Given the specific research objective of the term inventory, completeness was the most important characteristic and in this respect the corpus query tool Sketch Engine proved to be the optimal extractor. Thus, this paper presents a comprehensive approach to determining the effectiveness of terminological extractors not in terms of extracting terms that reflect the concepts of a particular subject area, but in terms of their effectiveness for solving a specific research problem. 10.18721/JHSS.12405 81'33 corpora term extractor term candidate taxonomy Sketch Engine OneClick Terms https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.5/ 60-80.pdf

 Target corpus of publications of world intellectual property organization: formation and use for research of branding terminology The article proposes a technology for constructing and defines the directions of using the corpus based on publications of the World Intellectual Property Organization. The corpus is created for the purpose of inventory and research of branding terminology. The methods of corpus linguistics related to pragmatics and technology of construction and processing of unmarked corpora were used in the study. The approaches to the selection of the language material underlying the target corpus and its structure are described, and then the features of using the corpus for the purposes of the study of branding terminology are shown. The target corpus consists of two subcorpora, which are based on term-fixing and term-rich special English-language texts connected by certain parameters. The subcorpus of official documents containing terminology is important for creating a dictionary of highly specialized terms with definitions of branding concepts that allow determining the volume of concepts nominated by terms and reflecting the connections that exist between them. The purpose of the subcorpus, which includes the texts of publications of the WIPO Magazine, is to compile a frequency dictionary and identify the frequency of terms recorded in the subcorpus, followed by context analysis based on the use of concordances. The directions of using the corpus consist in extracting meta-textual information and contexts of the use of certain linguistic elements and constructions, which makes it possible to identify the frequency and component composition of terms and trace the representation of different types and volumes of knowledge by the term in official and scientific-publicistic specialized discourses. 10.18721/JHSS.12406 81'33 branding terminology corpus of special texts frequency of terms definitions of branding concepts terminology inventory https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.6/ 81-93.pdf

 Exponential distribution of parts of speech in verse text: experience in stylometric analysis The paper deals with the long standing problem of stylochronometry: periodization of texts with time of creation divided only by short period of time. Using exponential function we investigate the distribution of parts of speech in the first and last strong positions in verse (poetry) of a famous American romantic poet and abolitionist J.G. Whittier. The function fits the data with high precision, especially for the rhymed position, which points at the fact that the revealed tendency prevails over resistance of material. Comparison with similar data for H.W. Longfellow demonstrates universal character of the found tendency. The obtained coefficients of exponential functions make it possible to plot the texts in two-dimensional space of function coefficients, and to explicitly differentiate groups of texts which were written at different periods of time. Thus a tendency has been established, which was not mentioned before in stylometry or verse study. The investigated parameter is sensitive to weak alterations in style and possesses high relevancy for objective periodization of creative activity of an author. 10.18721/JHSS.12407 811'32 stylochronometry parts of speech frequency distribution exponential function Whittier https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.7/ 94-104.pdf

 Research methodology for studying field-controlled and self-controlled behavior on the Internet and destructiveness eliciting instrument The article is based upon foregrounding of the ideas of Kurt Lewin (1890–1947) and argues field-controlled and self-controlled behavior and ways of presenting oneself on the Internet. This classification and way of description are based on Kurt Lewin’s idea of the inseparability of subjects and the field that surrounds them and the influence of the field (both psychological and material) on the individual. The article develops the idea of the explanatory potential of the “field-controlled/self-controlled behavior” distinction on the contemporary Internet users’ behavior. The authors regard the Internet as not just a neutral technological environment, but as an intense media environment rich in different stimuli that can predetermine, predispose and provoke certain behavior in users. The article elicits key features of communicative behavior of the “Youth” social group representatives, medical students in particular. To assess the students’ field-controlled and self-controlled behavior indicators the authors attempted to elaborate a special questionnaire. It was designed for analyzing the predominant attitudes in users’ behavior, based on specific indicators, measurable variables and distribution of clusters. Primary testing of the questionnaire for a homogeneous respondent group (medical students, n = 30) elicited several problem areas, exposing individual’s vulnerabilities, triggering users’ field-controlled behavior on the Internet. The students’ reaction to the Internet stimuli was evidenced as diverse, although in the majority of cases – ambivalent. That ambivalence feature can be regarded as a predictor of a field-controlled behavior risks. The limitations of the study reflect the need for further extensive testing and possible diversification of the questionnaire elements, involving collecting more data and more heterogeneous samples of different other social, occupational, and age groups. 10.18721/JHSS.12408 37.035 + 316.776 field-controlled and self-controlled behavior on the Internet communicative event on the Internet questionnaire media-communicative reflectivity assessment and formation of media-communicative competence in students https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.8/ 105-123.pdf

 Analysis of the results of international accreditation of russian educational institutions of higher education The article examines the results of international accreditation of study programs at Russian universities, as a procedure for establishing the compliance of the quality of the study programs or the activities of the entire university as a whole with international requirements and standards adopted in a particular foreign organization. The analysis of reports prepared by European accreditation experts and published in the external quality assurance database DEQAR, allowed for identifying groups of key comments and recommendations for improving educational activities. It showed that most of the inconsistencies with international indicators relate to study programs (concept, content, structures, methods and implementation), student support and work with graduates, organization and management of study programs; less comments were made as to learning resources, library and information resources of higher educational institution. Each group contains the most typical recommendations, formulated against the outcomes of international accreditation, and activities to assist universities in preparing for an external review with the involvement of European colleagues. Most of the recommendations arise from the peculiarities of the higher education development in our country, namely, the design of study programs in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard, the building-up of internal quality assurance systems with a focus on state accreditation of educational activities. The inclusion of measures in the strategic plans of universities in order to implement the recommendations of European experts, will, on the one hand, allow for obtaining international accreditation in a foreign agency, and on the other hand, for creating an effective internal system for education quality assurance. 10.18721/JHSS.12409 378 international accreditation higher education accreditation indicators internal quality assurance external quality assurance expert reports https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2021.46.9/ 124-138.pdf
