Rogova, Leonid Yanickiy","doi":"10.21603/2782-4799-2022-1-3-161-166","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21603/2782-4799-2022-1-3-161-166","url":null,"abstract":"Narrative and storytelling involve social net users in various socio-psychological groups. Modern narrative psychology focuses on life purpose formation. Narrative as an interpretive process concerns almost all spheres of everyday life and correlates with subjective and intersubjective experiences. Narrative studies are a source of knowledge on how a person endows the world, life, and goal-setting with meaning. Observing the interpretation of one’s experience can reveal how subjectivity works. Narrative makes it possible to construct the world, as well as to comprehend it in terms of past, present, and future. Psychology of meaning formation brings us closer to personality and inner subjectivity. Storytelling is popular both on the Internet and in various branches of scientific knowledge, marketing, linguistics, psychology, pedagogy, and journalism. Storytelling is used in existential psychology, logotherapy, and art therapy. Personal experience verbalized as a story reveals one’s personality, values, and beliefs. Storytelling makes one feel complete, helps to find a purpose in life, and facilitates psycho-corrective activities. Storytelling in online socio-psychological groups possesses all the features of a narrative. For instance, the Vkontakte social network allows its users to employ all the features of narration, thus involving the audience in communication and influencing their psyche. Based on content analysis and hermeneutic approach, the authors identified such involvement technologies as suggestion, persuasion, and emotional infection. Storytelling is not only a means of promoting psychological services in socio-psychological groups, but also a means of psycho-correction and psychological impact. It develops relevant meanings in the addressee, personal development, self-help, and stress relief.","PeriodicalId":359429,"journal":{"name":"Virtual Communication and Social Networks","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121130727","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}

They introduce a new type of discourse that attracts both marketers and translation theorists, because the Russian Internet badly needs prompt and high-quality translation of huge volumes of such content. Typical problems of audiovisual translation (compression, synchronization) are superimposed on the abundance of constantly growing terms. Beauty/fashion blogs are a kind of visual-verbal unity, where the visual demonstration of a product is accompanied by a verbal component, i.e., description, instructions, etc. This article introduces an analysis of Vogue video blogs, which confirmed other scientific publications on this topic: language economy and technical specifics of audiovisual translation make loan translation, transcription, and transliteration the most popular translation methods in this type of discourse. The translator must have a certain erudition in fashion and beauty industry, since specialized glossaries on these topics do not have time to record new terms and professionalisms that constantly emerge within this rapidly developing area.","PeriodicalId":359429,"journal":{"name":"Virtual Communication and Social Networks","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116523664","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}

They are often based on precedent phenomena and reflect current events, facilitate the self-expression of the author, create a comic effect, etc. Memes possess a great repetitive and transformation potential. Their textual element is compact and humor-oriented. In the English Internet discourse, memes exist as texts, pictures, pictures with captions, and videos. The most common memes are those that refer to mass and Internet culture. In social networks, their main communicative goals are entertainment, reflection of current events, and increasing personal rating. The policy of the social network and the peculiarities of the meme culture determine the cooperative speech strategy they represent: even when the meme is part of some conflictogenic tactics, the negative reaction is not its main goal.","PeriodicalId":359429,"journal":{"name":"Virtual Communication and Social Networks","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124071379","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 authors proceeded from the understanding that the model of a linguistic personality includes the following levels: 1) superficial understanding of the speech product to create a response text, 2) interpretation, 3) modus level, 4) intertextual level. The interpretational level includes interpretation of the perceived initial cue. Interpretation in this case is a mental-linguistic activity, during which the meaning of the original message is appropriated by its addressee and verbalized in the response message. The following interpretative strategies serve here as description units: author- and text-oriented, holistic and elementary, linguistic trust and linguistic skepticism, copyial and creative. The research featured responses of native speakers published on the portal of the Bankfax news agency. The analysis of dialogic utterances was followed by a reconstruction of the interpretive level in the structure of a linguistic personality as a participant in virtual dialogue.

The authors developed a questionnaire to assess the occurrence of various types of cheating, students’ subjective attitude to academic dishonesty, and its context. The study involved 52 university students aged 18–25 (37 female respondents). The obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis using the G-criterion and the Fisher’s angular transformation. The content analysis consisted of questions that required an extended answer. In online environment, the most common form of academic dishonesty was cheating at exams and tests by copying a fellow student's digital work, imitating technical problems, googling for answers, and providing false references. Students treated online academic dishonesty as more acceptable than during face-to-face learning. The study proves that the phenomenology of online academic dishonesty is significantly different from its traditional variant and, therefore, requires more detailed research.","PeriodicalId":359429,"journal":{"name":"Virtual Communication and Social Networks","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127349543","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}
