The aim of this paper is to present how the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has changed our language and the way we communicate. The article focuses on the recent Spanish neologisms that have appeared during the pandemic year 2020 and attempts to analyze their word-formation process. The theoretical framework of this study is based on the classification of neologisms proposed by M.T. Cabré Castellví (2006). Firstly, the paper highlights semantic innovations, that is, neologisms which are formed through broadening, narrowing or change of the meaning of the base form. Secondly, different types of word formation mechanisms, such as affixations, compounding, conversion or shortening are discussed. The paper also gives new insights into the most creative ways that vocabulary related to coronavirus (COVID-19) has expanded (lexical borrowing, wordplay). The data were collected from articles, books, dictionaries, social media and various websites.

1. Background: While many studies analyze the functions that images can fulfill during humanitarian crises or catastrophes, an understanding of how meaning is constructed in text–image relationships is lacking. This article explores how discourses are produced using different types of text–image interactions. It presents a case study focusing on a humanitarian crisis, more specifically the sexual transmission of Ebola. 2. Methods: Data were processed both quantitatively and qualitatively through a keyword-based selection. Tweets containing an image were retrieved from a database of 210,600 tweets containing the words “Ebola” and “semen”, in English and in French, over the course of 12 months. When this first selection was crossed with the imperative of focusing on a specific thematic (the sexual transmission of Ebola) and avoiding off-topic text–image relationships, it led to reducing the corpus to 182 tweets. 3. Results: The article proposes a four-category classification of text–image relationships. Theoretically, it provides original insights into how discourses are built in social media; it also highlights the semiotic significance of images in expressing an opinion or an emotion. 4. Conclusion: The results suggest that the process of signification needs to be rethought: Content enhancement and dialogism through images have a bearing on Twitter’s use as a public sphere, such as credibilization of discourses or politicization of events. This opens the way to a new, more comprehensive approach to the rhetorics of users on Twitter.

This book traces the evolution of the archive across the centuries by looking at primitive, Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian and contemporary archives. Crucially, the book evidences the fluidity and potential inter-changeability between libraries, archives and museums. A number of case studies offer an insight into the operation of a variety of different types of archives, including cabinets of curiosity, archival artforms, architectures, performances, road-shows, time capsules, social media documentation practices, databases, and a variety of museological web-based heritage platforms. The archive is shown to play a crucial role in how individuals and social groups administer themselves through and within a burgeoning social memory apparatus. This is why at the heart of every industrial revolution thus far, the archive continues to contribute to the way we store, preserve and generate knowledge through an accumulation of documents, artifacts, objects, as well as ephemera and even debris. The archive has always been strategic for different types of economies, including the digital economy and the internet of things. Shown here to increasingly affect to the way we map, produce, and share knowledge, the apparatus of the archive, which allows us to continuously renew who we are in relation to the past, so that new futures may become possible, now effectively pervades almost every aspect of our lives.

Compounding is a major word formation process in Danish. Approaches currently important for examining Danish compounds are outlined, mostly based on two-constituent N+N compounds. We argue that compounding has both specific and universal features in different languages. Different types of compounds in Danish are discussed with focus on elliptical compounds, without direct semantic relations between the components. This comprehensive approach has proved useful as compounds in Danish differ considerably in semantic relations between the components. The experiment shows that for some groups of “popular” words, analogy plays a great role in the creation and interpretation of novel compounds.

BACKGROUND The increasing volume of health-related social media activity, where users connect, collaborate, and engage, has increased the significance of analyzing how people use health-related social media. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to classify the content (eg, posts that share experiences and seek support) of users who write health-related social media posts and study the effect of user demographics on post content. METHODS We analyzed two different types of health-related social media: (1) health-related online forums—WebMD and DailyStrength—and (2) general online social networks—Twitter and Google+. We identified several categories of post content and built classifiers to automatically detect these categories. These classifiers were used to study the distribution of categories for various demographic groups. RESULTS We achieved an accuracy of at least 84% and a balanced accuracy of at least 0.81 for half of the post content categories in our experiments. In addition, 70.04% (4741/6769) of posts by male WebMD users asked for advice, and male users’ WebMD posts were more likely to ask for medical advice than female users’ posts. The majority of posts on DailyStrength shared experiences, regardless of the gender, age group, or location of their authors. Furthermore, health-related posts on Twitter and Google+ were used to share experiences less frequently than posts on WebMD and DailyStrength. CONCLUSIONS We studied and analyzed the content of health-related social media posts. Our results can guide health advocates and researchers to better target patient populations based on the application type. Given a research question or an outreach goal, our results can be used to choose the best online forums to answer the question or disseminate a message.

يُعبِّر تفكيرُ الإنسان عن وَعْيِه بوجوده في الحياة، وبوجود الأشياء والأحداث والظواهر من حوله، وبالكيفية التي يحدث فيها تفكيره. ويحدث التفكير بكيفيات محددة، ولأغراض محددة، وبمواصفات وخصائص محددة، كلّها يعتمد على التعدد في أنواع التفكير. تتناول هذه الدراسة بعض مداخل التصنيف لأنواع التفكير وعرضاً لأنواع وأساليب مختارة من التفكير. إن معرفة الإنسان بأنواع التفكير وخصائصها تمكنه من توظيف النوع اللازم بالمستوى اللازم من المهارة لتحقيق الغرض المنشود. وربما يصعب أن يكتسب الفرد الواحد كل أنواع التفكير، لذلك تسعى المناهج التربوية إلى اكتشاف القدرات المتميزة في الأفراد، وتوفير الفرص الكافية لكل فرد أن ينمو إلى الحد الأقصى الذي تمكنه منه قدراته، وأن تتكامل في المؤسسة والمجتمع أنواع التفكير المختلفة. Thinking expresses human awareness of his own existence in life, the existence of things around him, and the way in which his thinking occurs. Thinking occurs in specific ways, for specific purposes, and with specific characteristics, all of which depend on different types of thinking. This study addresses various approaches to the classification of types of thinking and presents few selected types and methods of thinking. Knowledge of types and characteristics of thinking enables a person to employ the necessary type with necessary skill to achieve the desired goal. It may be difficult for a single individual to acquire all necessary types of thinking; therefore, educational curricula seek to discover the outstanding abilities of individuals, to provide adequate opportunities for each one to grow to the maximum extent possible, and to guarantee the needed different types of thinking in the institution or the society.

The article deals with the analysis of psychological features of social media users’ activity. The authors discuss the main approaches to the classification of social media, clarify the definition of this concept. The article presents the analysis of the typologies of social media users. According to the results of the qualitative study, the authors identified eight types of social media users, (considering the specifics of their activity: 1) generator of creolized content; 2) initiator of the discussion; 3) active participant in the discussion; 4) spreader of the creolized content; 5) imitator; 6) conformist; 7) observer; 8) inactive user. The psychological characteristics of the activity of these types of users of social media are identified. It has been proved that there are some differences in the ratio of different types of users for the most popular social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and messengers (Telegram, Viber). It is determined that the leading types of users are: for the Facebook – discussion initiator, active discussion participant, conformist; for the Instagram – generator of creolized content, spreader of the creolized content, and a follower; for the Twitter – generator of creolized content, spreader of the creolized content and a discussion initiator; for Telegram – discussion initiator, active discussion participant, spreader of the creolized content; for Viber messenger – initiator of discussions, active participant of discussions, conformist. The prospects for further research are outlined: verification of the typology of social media users in an expanded sample, specification of the psychological profile of different types of social media users, creation of technologies for development of personality’s media competence, identification of preconditions for constructive social media impact on users, exploration of the role of social media in the process of building a personality’s civic competence.

The purpose of this article is to systematize the most frequent word-formation mechanisms of the French youth argot. The authors analyzed a glossary compiled on the basis of materials from six printed lexicographic works and two online dictionaries. The paper presents the classification of word-formation techniques of French argotologists. The analysis showed that users of the modern French youth argot actively resorted to such methods of replenishing the lexical fund as verlanization and metaphor. At the same time, it should be noted there is a striving for saving linguistic means, as a result of which a significant layer of truncated lexemes is formed. The characteristic of the convergence of the argot word-formation methods deserves a separate mentioning. The specified glossary has more than two thousand lexical units, which makes it possible to make a conclusion about the representativeness of the sample and the introduction of new empirical material into scientific circulation.
