Mikhidenko K. Linguocultural and ethnolinguistic aspects of German-language conflickt discourse (based on Internet communication).

The thesis is dedicated to the study of the linguocognitive and ethnocultural nature of German-language conflict discourse in virtual communication. The dissertation examines topical problems and modern theories and approaches to the study of conflict discourse. The periodization of the stages of discourse studies is offered, depending on the problems of research. The features of conflict communication in virtual space are considered. Virtual discourse is viewed as a multi-layered macrostructure, which includes communicative activity at interpersonal, group and mass levels and exists regardless of spatial and social conditions and restrictions. In the context of conflict interaction, we consider such components of discourse as «knowledge», «power», «distribution», «inequality», «hegemony», «struggle», «guerrilla», which testify to the conflict potential of discourse. A classification of conflict discourse is presented, which, depending on the communicative strategies and tactics of verbalizing the concepts of intercultural reality, is divided into constructive, pseudo-constructive and destructive conflict discourse.
