MANIFESTATION OF MENTALITY IN THE ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN TEXTS OF MODERN BLOGOSPHERE

Abstract

The research produces an analysis of the mentality of English and Russian-speaking bloggers, their influence on public opinion and the blogosphere, which is considered as one of the fastest growing means of Internet communications. In the study, the specificity of the manifestation of the English and Russian mentality is analyzed in the context of communication in the blogosphere as a special informational, psychological, socio-cultural and linguistic space of the Internet environment. The blogosphere is a set of texts-thematic notes or posts and comments to them and is characterized by such features as virtuality, interactivity, hypertextuality, globality, creativity, anonymity. Analysis of texts in English and Russian helps find a connection between changes in the language and the world and suggests looking for possible causes of these processes in the collective and individual consciousness.
