The focus of the whole “Internet space” on communication and the availability of technical possibilities makes the spread of information on the Internet practically unrestricted. This in turn leads to the transformation of the Internet communication model, which could be represented as “WE” – ”WE” in relation to anonymous Internet texts, when not an individual, but “the faceless crowd” or “Anonymous” appears to be both the sender and the addressee of the message. This article points out that in anonymous creative writing, even “mute” text sending and its placement on Internet diary pages is an expression of a particular attitude; in the case of parody, it is also a means of rethinking the events within the context provided by the parody. Alongside parody’s entertaining character, which contributes to the text’s attractiveness and ease of perception, it can be a powerful weapon allowing the author to reframe a particular situation. At the same time, the monitoring of anonymous Internet parodies from the point of view of the underlying prototexts may be a means of identifying the most important precedent phenomena, which are used repeatedly and form a part of the Internet-users’ collective cognitive base. The transformations of texts that occur when the texts are parodied reflect corresponding changes in the consciousness of their anonymous author-users. Thus, the analysis of anonymous “Internet creative writing” may appear to be quite an effective way to study the processes of social consciousness, both declared overtly and covert.

Purpose Value co-creation is an important topic of interest in marketing domain for the past decade. Co-creation via the internet has received a particular attention in the literature (O’Hern and Rindfleisch, 2010). Although there have been substantive number of studies of what motivates customers to participate in value co-creation in the internet-based platforms, there is a lack of research of what the deterrents are that may prevent customers from contributing their ideas online. This research was undertaken to define the deterrents from the customers and companies’ point of view. Furthermore, the difference, if exists, between the users’ and marketing professionals’ ranking of the inhibitors to co-creation online is also studied. Design/methodology/approach This exploratory qualitative research is based on 20 in-depth semi-structured interviews with customers and 20 in-depth semi-structured interviews with marketing specialists from different companies. Spearman’s rank correlation is applied to explore the relationship between the internet users’ and marketers’ responses. Findings There are nine constraining factors. The results show that although there is a repetition of the mentioned constraining factors indicated by the both groups of the interviewees, the ranking of the barriers is distinctive. Research Implications New conceptual information is received on what restrains customers from co-creation from both customers’ and companies’ point of view. Practical Implications This paper explains the potential problems to be confronted when launching a co-creation project in the internet-based platforms and offers managers a preliminary guide to comprehension of the users’ deterrents rating. Originality The paper that defines deterrents to co-creation online.

Considering effective communication, linguists traditionally focus on the type of the addressee and the conditions of their interaction with the addresser. The paper analyzes some transformations of oral genres on the Internet, including public discussions on the role of Orthodox faith in modern life, the functions of the religion in the spiritual and moral education of the contemporary society and its relation to the scientific breakthroughs of the 21st century. The analysis of video materials shows that their main addressee is the youth audience. Thus, it determines the methods of argumentation chosen in public Internet communication. The YouTube program “I Don’t Believe in God: Talking to an Atheist” has guests of all ages and professions: clergy, scientists and popularizers of science, politicians, journalists, interpreters, doctors, artists, movie critics and bloggers. The speakers are obviously oriented toward the predicted audience, complicates philosophical issues are discussed using real-life examples and involving both logical and emotional arguments. The article also focuses on the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the conversation. Notably, a lively exchange of opinion boosts the Internet users’ attention and encourages the multidimensional interpretation of the views. A variety of perspectives sparks the youth interest in the discussed issues, facilitates critical thinking, inspires viewers to search for the truth themselves and to form sound judgments on religious faith and atheism. The results of the research may be used to improve students’ public speaking skills.

In this essay, I mainly discuss the self-organizing property of the Internet communication system. As an important part of the human information communication system, Internet communication has progressively become a system with large scale, complex constructions, and perfect functions through the complicated interactions among many sub-systems and their elements. In this process, which is mainly promoted by Internet users, the self-growth of the Internet communica- tion system not only increases the amount of its sub-systems and its elements, it also strengthens its constructions and functions. At the same time, the self-growth of the Internet communication system indicates that the system is an evolving system with self-organizing property.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the processes taking place in our modern society. Opinion of a number of investigators about the role played by information in the society is that information is the essence of our modern society. It is from this point of view that revolutionary changes passed by mankind during all history of the development are presented. The concept of understanding the modern society as information one is thought of critically. The hypotesis about communication society as a form of joint activity of people is put forward. Information is perceived as a means to accelerate society progress rather than the society itself. The question “how often revolutionary processes in society happen” is considered from the standpoint of communication science. It is argued that the fifth communicative revolution which gave rise to communication society is taking place now. Stages of progress of this society are closely connected with the Internet-communication processes. The reasons for people’s turning to the Internet and both positive and negative consequences of this phenomenon are studied.

Введение. Современные конвергентные формы медийной коммуникации демонстрируют разнообразные способы и модели взаимодействия агентов дискурса (журналистов, авторов и ведущих программ) и клиентов – адресатов, получивших в сетевом пространстве статус пользователей, участников интеракций, создателей информационного и развлекательного контента. Дискурсивная практика радио в социальных сетях формируется под влиянием технологических процессов интеграции, на основе ценностных систем, принципов взаимодействия с адресатом, сформированных в традиционном, аналоговом вещании и в сетевых аккаунтах интернета. Материал и методы. Дискурсивный анализ, направленный на выявление специфики диалогической коммуникации, позволяет определить роль контекстных макроструктур в построении и развитии сценариев коммуникативного взаимодействия. Контекстные макроструктуры социально-сетевого радио, функционирующие на пересечении дискурсивных практик радио и веб-коммуникации, определяют прагматические установки субъектов интеракций, тематическую прогрессию и семантические репрезентации дискурса. В качестве материала рассматриваются тексты развлекательного радио Maximum социально-сетевого аккаунта «ВКонтакте». Результаты и обсуждение. Анализ речевой структуры социально-сетевой версии канала выявил следующие закономерности в реализации диалогических моделей коммуникации, формируемых под воздействием контекстных макроструктур. На основе аудиального кода радийной макроструктуры формируется согласованная диалогическая модель: участники интеракций используют кооперативную стратегию взаимодействия при обсуждении музыкальных текстов. Макроструктура социально-сетевой коммуникации реализует преимущественно конфликтную модель, актуализируя эгоцентрическую стратегию взаимодействия. Установка коммуникантов на аналоговую форму трансляции (линейную коммуникацию от источника к слушателям) реализуется в межсубъектной модели взаимодействия, что находит свое выражение в общности картин мира коммуникантов. Доминирование в речи социально-сетевой макроструктуры определяет квазимежсубъектный сценарий развития диалога, подчиняющийся принципам аффилиации – присоединения к сказанному с целью актуализации в публичном пространстве. Заключение. Данная модель не демонстрирует эксплицитных маркеров диалогичности, но может быть рассмотрена с точки зрения успешной коммуникации, если учитывать дискурсивную перспективу социально-сетевого радио и основополагающую ценность ее картины мира – установку на развлечение.Introduction. The article discusses the principles of organizing a dialogue between users of social networks of entertainment radio. Modern convergent forms of media communication are realized at the intersection of discursive macrostructures. In particular, radio functions in social networks of the Internet as a multifactorial phenomenon, depending on the technological and ideological features of media sources, such as radio and the Internet. The innovative nature of the traditional source of information is manifested in the position of the addressee, which is due to the capabilities of the Internet user. The one-way communication method of analog radio acquires the qualities and capabilities of an interactive interaction model, the listener becomes a user, an active subject of discourse, his agent and content generator. Results and discussion. The analyzed material allows us to draw the following conclusions. The method of dialogue depends on the dominant macrostructures, which are either analog radio or social networkcommunication. The indicated macrostructures realize themselves at the level of values and the ideology of network communication. The macrostructure of the radio is explicated in the speech of the communicants in settings on the personal plan of interaction. The macrostructure implements an intersubject model of interaction. The macrostructure of social network communication manifests itself in the psycho-speech mechanisms of affiliation, namely, in the connection of speakers to the speech in order to actualize in public space, realizing a quasi-subject communication model. The second model does not show explicit markers of dialogue, but can be considered from the point of view of successful communication, given the general discursive perspective and the social-network form of organization of communication.
