Лингвистический ракурс исследований слухов в виртуальном коммуникативном пространстве: аналитический обзор
Type: article
Abstract: This review examines Russian and international linguistic studies of rumours within the virtual communicative space.The relevance of the study is preconditioned by the systemic transformation of the rumor phenomenon amidst the development of Internet technologies that have reshaped the structure of contemporary communications.The scientific novelty of the article lies in the attempt to systematize these publications, which has not been previously undertaken.The article aims to identify key research trends and problematic areas in Russian and international linguistic works dedicated to investigating this phenomenon.To achieve this goal, descriptive-analytical and comparative methods are applied to analyze and contrast the core approaches of Russian and international linguists studying online rumours.The multifaceted nature of rumors accounts for the diversity of research areas pursued by scholars.Research by Russian authors is conducted within the framework of sociocultural, speech-study, and discursive approaches based on the theoreticalcommunicative paradigm.Their research toolkit comprises methods of discourse analysis, contextual, semantic, and linguostylistic analysis, as well as communicative-pragmatic modeling.In turn, foreign researchers focus on analyzing the factors behind the emergence, mechanisms of dissemination, and methods for verifying online rumors, which enables the development of effective classification systems.Both Russian and international studies demonstrate a pronounced interdisciplinarity, integrating the principles of classical rumourology and modern linguistic methods, thereby making a complementary contribution to the formation of a holistic linguistic theory of rumours and outlining prospects for its further development.
