In the article the problem of diglossia in the Christmas carol of Hutsuls based on the interaction of Christian and heathen elements is discussed. The sources of the study are the texts of the Christmas carol which were recorded in the village of Kryvorivnia (Verkhovyna district, Ivano-Frankivsk region). These texts are analyzed in a diachronic section: the phenomena of Christianization and dual-faith and their implementation in the Christmas carol tradition of Hutsuls are considered. Based on the content and formal analysis of the text of the Christmas carol, the main motifs and images are singled out. It is emphasized that in these motifs and images of diglossia features are realized. The article outlines the main ideological principles, embodied in Christmas carols, and analyzes the main thematic features of the calendar ritual folklore of a winter cycle. The diff erentiation of terminology, content and formal features of church carols and carols was also conducted. Based on the results of the content analysis of the text content of the carolytic tradition, its main functions are determined. The conclusions state that the modern Christmas carol tradition of Hutsuls reveals a syncretic completion, which combines Christian and pagan elements, and diglossia features most often appear on the content level. Descriptive and comparative methods, as well as elements of discourse analysis, were used for the study.

The authors make a supposition that any social network is an array of texts that can be formally analyzed. Relying on the ideas of cultural-historical psychology, the authors consider the text as a model that is used to cognize the world and with the help of which higher mental functions are formed. The network text is analyzed as a semiotic system. The authors have created categories of the content analysis of pages in the social network VKontakte. These categories help to assess a persons aggressiveness and auto-aggressiveness. The respondents were 58 women and 63 men aged from 17 to 23. Complex research into aggressiveness and auto-aggressiveness, and deviant behavior was carried out using V.V. Boikos and A.N. Orels methodologies. The data of the content analysis and the data of both tests were statistically processed. The analysis using Pearsons correlation coefficient demonstrated many interconnections between the presence and the extent of the content analysis categories and the data from the standardized methodologies. A strong direct correlation relationship between the auto-aggressiveness index by V.V. Boikos methodology and reasons for violence (0,72), depression (0,92), auto-aggression (0,63) and isolation (0,63) are similar with the data received applying the self-harming scale methodology by A.N. Orel: there is a strong direct correlation with violence (0,72), depression (0,93), auto-aggression (0,64) and isolation (0,68). The authors found a strong direct correlation between motives for violence and the tendency for aggression and violence index in accordance with A.N. Orels methodology (0,72). By A.N. Orels methodology he authors found a strong direct correlation between the motive for accepting criminal norms and the tendency for delinquent behavior (0,79). A correlation relationship between the motive for eroticism and inability for restraining aggression (0,62) was also revealed. The authors have interpreted correlation relationships. The factor analysis by the Kaiser criterion demonstrated that there are five logically interconnected factors. The research hypothesis has been proved. Prospects for follow-up research have been outlined.
