Language errors and dynamics of language norms

Article preview

The gradual erosion of standards in the modern Russian language is a dangerous tendency. Error may eventually acquire the status of normativity, when the phenomenon fits into the language system, not contradict it. Non-obvious, hardly seen micro  violations  at  various  linguistic levels, as well as in borrowing (expansion and narrowing of word meaning) slightly distort the norm and often are not immediately recognized as an error.

Dialogic nature of contemporary political discourse

Article preview

The article addresses the specifics of modern political discourse. Polemics, discussion with a political opponent, which are the semantic core of contemporary political discourse (CPD), actualize the use of rhetorical figures of dialogic type in texts of this type: question-answer move, anticipation, apostrophe, apophasis, subjection, concession, prolepsis and especially antiphrasis, which is emphasized by non-verbal means (gestures, facial expressions), a special intonation of mockery. SPD is also characterized by an abundance of non-literary language means - roughly commonplace vocabulary (up to obscene), jargonisms (especially the so-called blat jargon, which originates in the criminal environment). At present, this is recognized as a natural process and demonstrates the linguocentricity and politicization of the Russian language community.
