DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF MODERN FOLKLORE TEXTS

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the social content of modern folklore texts through discursive analysis. Modern folklore arises on the basis of folklore and transfers folklore elements, adapting them to modern conditions. The social content of modern folklore texts is confirmed by the popularity of these texts, which stimulates interest in their study not only by linguists, but also by culturologists and historians. The authors aim to determine the practical social significance of modern folklore texts through the identification of contexts (existence, general cultural, local socio-cultural and hidden). To update the work, modern folklore texts selected from various Internet resources and as a result of a survey and questioning were considered. Based on the research of leading scientists, an algorithm for discursive analysis of modern folklore texts is proposed, which consists in identifying contexts. At the end of the article, a conclusion is made about the most common hidden contexts that reflect current social phenomena and events, generalized ideas and the worldview of society.
