Linguistic and Cognitive Peculiarities of Digital Diplomacy Discourse
Abstract
Methodology. The author applied the method of content- monitoring of social nets: accounts of public diplomacy actors, in particular USA president Donald Trump`s.
Results. For a long time, diplomacy was of closed nature, it was not widely publicized, and the interaction was among the actors of the same institutional level. Nowadays, a communicative component of diplomatic activity has greatly widened thanks to the integration of technologies for carrying on public dialogue into diplomatic discourse. The impact of digitalization on the character of diplomatic discourse changes its key linguistic and cognitive features. It loses its closeness, commonness, rituality. Instead, it gains personalization, stronger emotive and communicative features. Among the basic features of digital diplomacy discourse, the following should be mentioned: mechanisms of feedback, personalization of messages, limited institutionalization, image-making importance. The communicative system of digital diplomacy has a dialogic component represented mainly by adjusted mechanisms of feedback through the channels of comments. Etiquette forms of appreciation, greeting, and expressing respect are transformed from institutional to personal addressing.
The important feature of social nets effecting functioning is a system of hashtags that, in particular, are also used in open diplomatic discourse. They are the means of semantic compression in on-line environment of public diplomacy.
Novelty. The author investigates the changes happened in the language of diplomacy, the strategies of knowledge transmission, estimation and guidance on perception.
Key words: digital diplomacy, twiplomacy, linguistic and cognitive strategies, discourse, network communication.Full Text:
