Matvyeyeva S. Site as Genre of the Internet-Communication (on the Material of Scientists' Personal Sites).

The thesis is a complex communicative and linguistic research of a site (in particular, a scientist's personal site) as one of the most widespread genres of the Internet-communication on the material of the Ukrainian, Russian, English, and German languages. The modern site is a hypertext product of electronic communicative activity which is continuously developing and is realized in the combination of interconnected (in subject, semantics, intentions and physical location) web-pages. The analysis of genre formative communicative and linguistic characteristics of a site (compositional, semantic and stylistic, paralinguistic) is suggested. The peculiarities of a scientist's personal site are described. They are: 1) the presence of structural components for establishing and realizing of communicative interaction (address, name, epigraph, greeting, preface; forum, guest book, electronic mail); 2) orientation toward definite genre norm of the Internet-communicative interaction; 3) creolization.
