Linguistic representation of “new sincerity” and sensitivity in media space The article deals with linguistic features of “new sincerity” and sensitivity in the communicative space of television and radio. Formed in art and literature, these trends are increasingly penetrating the media sphere. The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of genre and thematic, macrostructural representation of “new sincerity” and sensitivity in the communicative space of informational, analytical and science documentaries of TV and radio discourse. The material of the study is 300 radio programs and 400 TV programs broadcast on Belarusian radio in the period of 2015–2022. The corpus of the studied texts is represented by informative and information-analytical genres. It has been established that the directions of “new sincerity” and sensitivity expand and modify the genre configuration and thematic spectrum of media discourse. Dialogical genres (interviews, conversation) become a communicative tool that offers audience ready-made patterns for the perception and experience of traumatic professional and life events. Television and radio create a communicative space of special sensitivity, which becomes a communicative pattern. Within the framework of the subject-thematic field are injuries, addictions, the inner world and human experiences. It is shown that the structural and content scheme of informative and science documentaries texts captures the spectrum of past events in the narratives of participants, eyewitnesses of events representing cultural trauma with a focus on traumatic experiences and emotional experiences. The reconstruction of the historical past and present is aimed not so much at an accurate description of the context of the event, but at empathy and the formation of an emotional atmosphere. It was revealed that during the crisis period the concepts of “new sincerity” are activated in media communication: “public frankness”, “honesty”, “sensitivity”. They are manifested in heteronyms, transformations of information and analytical genres (the genres of review, commentary are modified into the genre of exposure), the category of “the author” (hosts are not journalists) and the communicative tactic of personal history. The saturation of media texts with emotionally, personally oriented topics and concepts leads to a change in the status of sincerity and sensitivity from peripheral phenomena to discourse-forming ones. 10.18721/JHSS.13401 81’23 television discourse radio discourse new sincerity sensitivity genre text macrostructure https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2022.50.1/ 7-21.pdf

Experiments on automatic keyphrase extraction in stylistically heterogeneous corpus of Russian texts The paper describes the experimental study of automatic keyphrase extraction techniques using expert assessments. The purpose of the study is to confirm the hypotheses on the location of keyphrases within a document and on the differentiation of keyphrases as regards applied algorithms and text styles. Experiments on automatic selection of keyphrases are carried out using nine algorithms of various types, including statistical (Log-Likelihood, TF-IDF, Chi-square), hybrid, also called linguostatistical (RAKE, YAKE, PullEnti, Topia), structural, also called graph-based (TextRank), and machine learning (KeyBERT). In the course of the study a mixed corpus was prepared of about 1 million tokens in size, including 50 social media texts (news reports with headlines), 50 scientific texts (articles on computational linguistics with titles, abstracts and manually specified sets of key expressions), 50 literary texts (chapters from prose works, provided with the author’s description of the content). Evaluation procedure implies comparison of keyphrases selected by experts from the first segment of texts and key expressions automatically extracted from the second segment. A quantitative assessment of the matches between expert and automatic markup made it possible to confirm the hypothesis on a different concentration of keyphrases in text segments involved in comparison. The study of lexico-grammatical and semantic features of keyphrases allowed us to reveal features that are determined by text style. The results of the study may improve semantic compression procedures performed using the methods of automatic keyphrase extraction. 10.18721/JHSS.13402 81'32, 81'33 semantic compression automatic keyphrase extraction expert annotation text corpus functional styles https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2022.50.2/ 22-40.pdf

The concept of “Belaya Vezha” in the communication space of the Brest region of Belarus The linguoculturological approach to understanding the concept is that it is recognized as the basic unit of culture, its concentrate. The totality of concepts forms the concept sphere of an ethnos and, accordingly, a language. The article reveals the content of the important for the regional linguistic culture, but little studied concept of “Belaya Vezha”. The representation of the concept in the poetic, media, marketing discourses of the Brest region is considered. The factual material was the works of regional poets, ergonyms and trademarks, media materials that made up a card file of contexts. Linguistic and non-linguistic means of objectifying the components of the “Belaya Vezha” concept in the regional communicative space are revealed. In the structure of the conceptual component of the concept under study, the general meaning of “watch tower of a defensive type” is distinguished. The figurative component of the concept in regional poetry is represented by dominant images: “keeper of history”, “sentry”, “strength”, “courage”, “beauty of ancient architecture”, “stone birch” and “Motherland”. It has been established that the non-verbal representation of a linguocultural concept introduces certain corrections into its explication, significantly increasing the nominative density. The linguistic expression of the linguocultural concept “Belaya Vezha” is closely related to the worldview of sculptors and artists who addressed this topic, and attracts possible signs of other semiotic systems. The analysis of the dominant characteristics of the linguocultural concept “Belaya Vezha”, represented by signs of different semiotic systems, made it possible to identify the specific characteristics of the regional picture of the world, national mentality and character. 10.18721/JHSS.13403 811.111 cultural linguistics concept semiotically complicated text signs of different modality linguistic consciousness https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2022.50.3/ 41-54.pdf

Linguistic expression of Arctic exploration strategies The paper analyzes Arctic-oriented English news texts in order to reveal the system of linguistic means employed for expressing exploration strategies in the circumpolar region. The results indicate three major aspects that the authors are focused on: the Arctic exploration viability; challenges faced by the states which are interested in the Arctic exploration; prospects opened up for the countries in the Arctic. The following groups of typical linguistic means were found to express these aspects: lexemes meaning exploration and development (exploration, exploitation, to explore, to develop, to exploit); lexemes having the semantics of importance, viability (priority, significance, importance, vital, crucial, should, have to) and lexemes meaning interest, attention (interest, attention, moves, willingness, to be keen on, to heed, to want); lexemes meaning conflict, competition (rivalry, contest, fight, conflict, tension, to trigger a row, to fuel concerns, to increase tension, to spark row); lexemes bearing the meaning of problem, challenge (obstacles, challenges, limitation); lexemes meaning prospects, opportunity (opportunities, indications, desire, project); linguistic units having the semantics of economic benefit (investment, wealth, gains, trade, profitable, viable, lucrative). 10.18721/JHSS.13404 81 the Arctic Arctic discourse strategy English news text media discourse https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2022.50.4/ 55-61.pdf

Pragmatic charge of visual resources in constructing positive university reputation: based on texts at university websites Drawing on the interpretation of visual images as a social semiotic resource of meaning making, this paper discusses how visual resources contribute to establishing symbolic capital in academic discourse. It is based on approaches in discourse analyses and social semiotics and reflects the social semiotic concept of visual validity. The object of the undertaken analysis is university academic reputation. The study rests on the research of texts published on the websites of 30 Russian national research and federal universities. It presumes that reputation is the informational track of past actions focused today in the digital space. At the university websites, it is reflected in an extended and detailed representation of the past activities and achievements of the national university. We suggest that the information on the university websites is not to be seen as just adding of new details in information exchange, but rather as pragmatically value-based selected information. Evaluative representation of the university past records through images (photography) is revealed as a special tool to distinguish an academic institution and make it visible and superior for different stakeholders. Images are considered as a part of the processes of shaping social values. 10.18721/JHSS.13405 81'42 visuality visual validity social semiotics university reputation university website https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2022.50.5/

Blogging as a tool for media literacy development The article is devoted to the study of blogging as a social phenomenon of the digital reality in the context of media literacy development. Broad understanding of media literacy as the basis for a new lifestyle in the media-saturated environment requires actualization of basic conceptual statements of media literacy with reference to blogging, including the statement about commercialization of media. The author investigates commercial implications of blogging and makes the conclusion that blog consumers make one of the main target audiences of media education while 42% of population in Russia get all the necessary information from social media and blogs. It is necessary to develop media literacy of blog-audiences in terms of critical consumption of media information, awareness of cognitive biases and distortions as well as understanding of commercial implications and instruments of blogging. The author emphasizes the necessity for media education events of different formats aimed at blog audiences; makes the analysis and gives examples of best practices in the formal and informal educational settings including integration of media literacy modules in the curricula of degree programmes, continuing education courses, training events. The analysis of topical content in a range of media education events with the focus on the commercialization of modern media demonstrates the need for a much broader representation of certain media literacy basic statements including the one of commercialization. 10.18721/JHSS.13406 81.42 blog blogging media literacy Internet media communication https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2022.50.6/ 72-79.pdf

Comprehending the meaning of the text: notes on the margins of the book “The Fiction Text: Formulas of Meaning” This article focuses on the collective monograph "The Fiction Text: Formulas of Meaning" by Goncharova, Ilyinova, Karasik, Kononova and others, published in 2022 and devoted to the search of scientifically grounded formula of meaning of the fiction text. The key category of a fiction text and, at the same time, the connecting axis of this monograph is the category of the author, who is invisibly present in the text and has primary influence on the formation of its meaning and, therefore, on the derivation of the formula of the text meaning. The presence of the author becomes visible in the "creative attractors" which form the discursive heterogeneity of the text as its special quality, when the author uses the strategies of focusing and defocusing, transforms the concepts in the frame of the text and creates individual-author conceptual constants within it. The author and their text are immersed in real and fictional time, but time can also act as one of the concepts, having metaphorical representation in the fiction text, as the authors of the monograph show on the example of the analysis of German and English literature works. The final and at the same time summarizing chord of the monograph is an appeal to the symbolic fabric of a fiction text, in which the author shows the dynamics of meaning and its perception from symbol to symbol. A fiction text implies a multitude of possible readings, each of which only multiplies the information it contains, so the approach to comprehending the meaning of a fiction text should be multidimensional. The authors of the monograph managed to achieve such multidimensionality, it is fully realized both in the structure and in the contents of the monograph. 10.18721/JHSS.13407 81.42 fiction text formula of meaning category of author of fiction text narrative focusing and defocusing multimodality of text conceptual constants of author's work author's picture of the world concept of time in fiction text symbol in fiction https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2022.50.7/ 80-86.pdf

Dimensions of Identity. Review of “Identities: Semiotics of Representation and Pragmatics of Stance”. Kaliningrad. 2022 The basic definitions and the main scientific approaches to identity have been developed in the framework of different academic disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, politics, discursive analysis, and sociolinguistics. In the perspective of these interdisciplinary positions, the concept of identity is discussed in the new collective monograph “Identities: semiotics of representation and pragmatics of positioning”, published in Kaliningrad in 2022. The present review summarizes and critically considers the central topics under discussion and new results of the monograph, as well as its theoretical and applied significance. The book under review brings together modern theoretical and applied approaches to the concept of identity as a dynamic construction. The book reveals that identity as self-awareness and self-determination of a person is formed, developed and thus transferred only in the process of communication, within discursive and narrative practices. The monograph considers various practices that are crucial to observe various manifestations of identities. It is shown, that the awareness of an individual or a social group about themselves may change to the extent, that the value of some components of identity is reimagined in comparison with others. The necessity of interdisciplinary studies of identity is revealed. The role of linguistic and semiotic means of expressing and shaping the identities is investigated along with the increasing importance of linguistic methods in the study of identity. The analysis of various socio-cultural and narrative practices makes it possible to integrate the interdisciplinary issues of identity and to ensure the convergence of disciplinary approaches. The interdisciplinary approach of the reviewed publication reveals its merits, and will attract a wide range of specialists. 10.18721/JHSS.13408 81”33 Identity identification collective identity language semiotic resources https://human.spbstu.ru/article/2022.50.8/ 87-92.pdf
