In modern communication on the Internet, there are lexemes with the function of naming a person-nicknames used as nicknames. This work is devoted to the study of these language units. The names of chats of Russian-speaking Internet communication users served as the material for our research.

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 study seeks to investigate the Internet usage habits among the online population in India. It intends to confirm if respondents differed on the basis of demographic variables such as age, gender, occupation and city/town tier. Based on primary research, the present study examines the differential effects of demographic variables on various online activities, their usage frequency and duration. The study proposes a possible segmentation of Internet users and a classification of Internet activities. K-mean cluster analysis and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) have been used to capture the same. The results suggest that activity-wise usage and duration of Internet usage vary with age, occupation and city/town tier of the respondents, but not much with gender. The factor analysis suggested grouping the dependent usage and activity variables into five major factors. The article would be helpful for the Internet service providers in segmenting the Internet users and enhancing the scholars’ understanding of effect of given demographic variables on Internet usage.

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.

The article discusses the way in which phrasemes of dialectal origin are transferred to the colloquial Polish language. The material basis includes the utterances of the Internet users posted on various kinds of forums and blogs. According to the analysis of the material, folk phraseology is quite expansive and it enriches the colloquial language phraseology to a great extent. Dialectal phrasemes have a specific stylistic value, they carry out assessments, they express the author’s emotions, and sometimes they make a text a bit humorous. Due to such values, they attract the readers’ attention, which is the most important objective in the Internet communication.

The graphical interface that the Web can create between the company and its customers promotes its use as a medium of marketing communication. The advantages of e-communication are endless for companies, including timeliness, cost and interactivity. However, users are daily confronted with large masses of information which may affect the issue of effectiveness of this communication form. Therefore, it is necessary to know whether the information transmitted is accessed and if it achieves the objectives associated with it. In other words, to what extent the internet communication is effective. In this research, efficiency is studied through two indicators: the advertising memorization and the click on the pop-up advertising. The empirical study was conducted on a sample of 200 Internet users. The statistical analysis used is descriptive analysis and logistic regression. The main empirical results show that memory is largely affected by the location in the screen, size and animated banner advertising. As for the "click", it’s related to the colors used in the banner, size and clarity of the message.

The development of the Internet as a retail channel has produced a change in the complete value chain, from retailers to consumers and e-commerce means a big potential for both of them. However, in spite of this potential, the level of e-commerce development in the different EU countries is very unequal with Spain and the UK exemplifying two extremes. This chapter aims to determine if differences in fashion e-commerce, between Spain and the UK are due to the heterogeneity of consumers' behaviours and attitudes through online shopping. The results obtained confirm that there is no homogeneity in the online fashion community, what means that retailers websites should design the online experience considering the characteristics of the local Internet users. The research provides a classification of consumers based on their motivations to browse or buy fashion through the Internet with relevant implications for fashion retailers.
