Abstract The present article offers a postmodern (re)interpretation of the 16th century Renaissance set of social etiquettes versus the average citizen’s Weltanschauung triggered by his most natural drives and impulses. The epicentral focus of our investigation is the social network(s) built by the different, sometimes oppositional ethical, theological and epistemological codes. What types of motivation triggered certain members of different social layers to observe or to break these codes? Was there any differentiation between clergymen and (fe)male aristocracy? Most importantly, why was the epistemological positionality of men different from that of (educated) women?

SUMMARY This paper aims to show how structural and social factors can interact to bring about syntactic change. The interaction is exemplified by the case of an innovation in the easy construction which is first found in late Middle English texts. The reason for this innovation was a reanalysis of an existing sentence-type, but the impetus for this reanalysis probably came from diffusion of the sentence-type from one variety of Middle English to another. The social factors involved are expressed in a model using the social network as a basic concept; several advantages of using this model are discussed. The wider implication of this case-history is that many historical syntactic changes may need to be reworked taking into account possible effects of diffusion in a situation of linguistic variability and heterogeneity. A taxonomy of such effects is proposed. RÉSUMÉ Dans le présent article on examine comment l'interaction de facteurs structurels et sociaux peut causer des changements syntaxiques. Cette interaction est exemplifiée par une innovation dans la 'tough' construction dans l'anglais du XVe siècle. Selon l'évidence présentée ici, cette innovation fut provoquée par une réanalyse d'un type de phrase qui existait dans la langue. Cependant la réanalyse s'est probablement effectuée quand ces types de construction se sont répandus d'une variété de l'anglais moyen à une autre. Pour analyser les facteurs sociaux, un modèle basé sur le concept de 'réseau social' est utilisé. Les avantages d'un tel modèle sont démontrés. L'implication de ce cas est que beaucoup de changements syntaxiques historiques doivent être réconsidérés en tenant compte des effets potentiels de diffusion dans une situation linguistique variable et heterogène. Une taxonomie de tels effets est proposée. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Ziel dieses Aufsatzes ist es, zu zeigen, wie das Zusammenwirken von strukturellen und sozialen Faktoren syntaktischen Wandel verursachen kann. Diese Interaktion wird illustriert mithilfe einer Innovation innerhalb der Tough'-Konstruktion, die erst in spätmittelenglischen Texten zu finden ist. Ursache fur diese Innovation war eine Reinterpretation eines bestehenden Satz-typs, aber der eigentliche Impetus fur eine solche neue Interpretation war wahr-scheinlich die Übertragung solcher Sätze von einer Varietät des Mitteleng-lischen in eine andere. Ein Modell, das mit dem 'sozialen Netzwerk' als Basisbegriff operiert, wird angewendet, um relevante soziale Faktoren zu be-schreiben, die hierbei eine Rolle gespielt haben müßten. Verschiedene Vorteile dieses Modells werden vorgestellt. Die Implikation dieser Fallstudie ist, daB es notig ist, viele syntaktische Wandlungen aufs Neue zu studieren, um festzu-stellen, welchen EinfluB etwaige Diffusionsprozesse in einer Situation sprachli-cher Variabilität und Heterogenität gehabt haben mögen. Eine Taxonomie solcher Einflüsse wird vorgestellt.

This chapter addresses two aspects of the socio-economic transformations which modernized Galicia in many respects — economic changes and nationalization of the social network — which permanently affected Jewish life in this Habsburg province. Both the economic and social aspects created such hardship for Jews that the effects were apparent internationally, in their massive emigration to western Europe and North America. Here, the chapter focuses on Vienna as one of the destinations of the Galician Jews, and on the special features of the city. It also discusses the ways in which the Galician Jews adjusted to the local culture and the methods the Viennese Jews used to help them acculturate. Although New York claimed the largest number of Galician Jewish emigrants between 1881 and 1910, the numbers choosing Vienna were not insignificant.

The p 2 model is a random effects model with covariates for the analysis of binary directed social network data coming from a single observation of a social network. Here, a multilevel variant of the p 2 model is proposed for the case of multiple observations of social networks, for example, in a sample of schools. The multilevel p 2 model defines an identical p 2 model for each independent observation of the social network, where parameters are allowed to vary across the multiple networks. The multilevel p 2 model is estimated with a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that was implemented in free software for the statistical analysis of complete social network data, called StOCNET. The new model is illustrated with a study on the received practical support by Dutch high school pupils of different ethnic backgrounds.

<div><p><em>The article analyzes the peculiarities of the format of native advertising in the media space, its pragmatic potential (in particular, on the example of native content in the social network Facebook by the brand of the journalism department of ZNU), highlights the types and trends of native advertising. The following research methods were used to achieve the purpose of intelligence: descriptive (content content, including various examples), comparative (content presentation options) and typological (types, trends of native advertising, in particular, cross-media as an opportunity to submit content in different formats (video, audio, photos, text, infographics, etc.)), content analysis method using Internet services (using Popsters service). And the native code for analytics was the page of the journalism department of Zaporizhzhya National University on the social network Facebook. After all, the brand of the journalism department of Zaporozhye National University in 2019 celebrates its 15th anniversary. The brand vector is its value component and professional training with balanced distribution of theoretical and practical blocks (seven practices), student-centered (democratic interaction and high-level teacher-student dialogue) and integration into Ukrainian and world educational process (participation in grant programs).</em></p></div><p><em>And advertising on social networks is also a kind of native content, which does not appear in special blocks, and is organically inscribed on one page or another and unobtrusively offers, just remembering the product as if «to the word». Popsters service functionality, which evaluates an account (or linked accounts of one person) for 35 parameters, but the main three areas: reach or influence, or how many users evaluate, comment on the recording; true reach – the number of people affected; network score – an assessment of the audience’s response to the impact, or how far the network information diverges (how many share information on this page).</em></p><p><strong><em>Key words:</em></strong><em> nativeness, native advertising, branded content, special project, communication strategy.</em></p>

Popularity of the social media and the amount of importance given by an individual to social media has significantly increased in last few years. As more and more people become part of the social networks like Twitter, Facebook, information which flows through the social network, can potentially give us good understanding about what is happening around in our locality, state, nation or even in the world. The conceptual motive behind the project is to develop a system which analyses about a topic searched on Twitter. It is designed to assist Information Analysts in understanding and exploring complex events as they unfold in the world. The system tracks changes in emotions over events, signalling possible flashpoints or abatement. For each trending topic, the system also shows a sentiment graph showing how positive and negative sentiments are trending as the topic is getting trended.

The present article focuses on one of the Greek delicacies mentioned by Photius and Eustathius, i.e. a Lydian import called kandaulos/kandylos. The dish was developed before the mid. VI th c. BC and named after a Lydian king, Kandaules, who ruled in the VII th c. BC. The delicacy was (via the Ionians) borrowed by the Helens and established itself in Greece sometime in the V th c. It became popular in Hellenistic times. The information we possess allow us to reconstruct two varieties of kandaulos/ kandylos. The first was savoury and consisted of cooked meat, stock, Phrygian cheese, breadcrumbs and dill (or fennel). The other included milk, lard, cheese and honey. The dish is reported to have been costly, prestigious and indicating the social status of those who would eat it. Though there is much evidence suggesting its popularity in antiquity, we lack solid evidence proving that kaunaudlos/kandylos was eaten in Byzantine times. On the other hand, Byzantine authors preserved the most detailed literary data on the delicacy. If it had not been for the Byzantine interest, our competence in the field of Greek cuisine would be even faultier.
