This study aimed to present the status quo of linguistic studies on social media in the past decade. In particular, it conducted a bibliometric analysis of articles from the field of linguistics of the database of Web of Science Core Collection with the aid of the tool CiteSpace to identify the general characteristics, major strands of linguistics, main research methods, and important research themes in the area of linguistic studies on social media. The main findings are summarized as follows. First, the study reported the publication trend, main publication venues, researched social media platforms, and languages used in researched social media. Second, sociolinguistics and pragmatics were found to be major strands of linguistics used in relevant studies. Third, the study identified seven main research methods: discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis, multimodal analysis, narrative analysis, ethnographic analysis, and corpus analysis. Fourth, important research themes were extracted and classified based on four dimensions of the genre framework of social media studies. They were the participation nature and technology affordances of social media in the dimension of compositional level, the researched topics of education, (language) policy and politics in the dimension of thematic orientations, the researched discursive practices of (im)politeness, humor, indexicality and multilingualism in the dimension of stylistic traits, and the researched communicative functions of constructing identity, communicating (language) ideology, and expressing attitude in the pragmatic dimension. Moreover, linguistic studies on social media tended to be characterized by cross-disciplinary and mixed-method approaches.

Over the last three decades, the Israeli missile defense concept has evolved significantly along with the emerging threats. As a result of long-term strategy, implemented in the 1990s, contemporary missile defense of Israel has been developed into a complex, multi-tier system aimed to match the country’s unique security needs. The purpose of this study is to determine the main directions of the development of the Israeli missile defense concept that have led to its current form. The study identifies key elements of the multi-layered missile defense architecture as well as their role in overall defense strategy of Israel. With the use of theoretical research methods, the period of 1991-2020 was examined in order to trace the development of new missile defense systems and the evolution of Israeli posture on the subject in relation to changing international situation. The author concludes that comprehensive anti-missile shield, consisting of Arrow-3, Arrow-2, David’s Sling and Iron Dome systems, provides Israel with solid defense against short, medium and long range missile threats and presents potential to be developed into one of the most advanced missile defense systems in the world.

Linguistic Means

This work is devoted to the study of motivation using conceptual analysis as one of the main research methods in Cognitive Linguistics. The subject of the research is the conceptual cha-racteristics of motivation. The relevance of the research topic is represented by the fact that the is-sue of expressing motivation in speech has been of interest to many scientists for a long time. However, there is no consensus on many issues in the study of motivation. This is due to the fact that linguistic means that represent motivation in differently structured languages are very diverse. Motivation is not always represented by primary means, and native speakers often use secondary structures that need thorough consideration. The question arises how to systematize the knowledge behind motivation and the speech means that express it. To do this, we should turn to modern methods of linguistics which allow us to consider motivation as a system of knowledge. The purpose of the study is to prove that linguistic means that represent motivation can be grouped on the basis of conceptual characteristics of motivation. Research methods: analysis, synthesis, descriptive method, conceptual analysis as the main method. It is proved that conceptual analysis allows to systematize and study the knowledge behind motivation. The results obtained can be used in the study of motivation in English and Russian as part of final qualification works. The following conclusions are made: 1) it is proved that conceptual analysis allows to identify the main conceptual characteristics of motivation; 2) it is proved that motivation can be represented as a cluster concept; 3) it is also proved that a variety of linguistic means convey motivation including secondary lan-guage structures.

New Perspective

A law with a concept on the omnibus law in the world of law in the State of Indonesia is a new perspective in the field of law. The point in omnibus law is different from the meaning, nature, and concept of legal norms in existing laws. We can also interpret this concept as a way of settling the forms of regulation in legislation into law and which in the end have consequences for revoking some invalid regulations. With the use of a new perspective like this, of course, people's thinking is also increasingly modern, including following the flow of globalization. In this era of globalization, there are certainly many incidents in the spread of hoax news. This problem is carried out by qualitative research methods and using several theories. The subject matter to be discussed can also be found in the conclusion that the perspective used by the drafters of the law is increasingly modern which will also provide the potential for the spread of hoaxes from people who follow the flow of globalization. Therefore, if the government and the DPR enforce themselves in making laws with the concept of the omnibus law, then the formation process needs to follow the method of prolegnas, has a good academic script, and is not in a hurry by involving stakeholders and the community.

Criminal Legislation

The relevance of the chosen topic is caused by changes in the current Russian administrative and criminal legislation in connection with the spread of a new coronavirus infection. Based on specific examples, the authors confirm that, in various constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a diverse practice of the application of such norms is emerging, which leads to the lack of a uniform application of the law. The subject of the study is legislative, doctrinal, interpretative provisions, as well as judicial investigative practice, reflecting the specifics of applying the law in the field of protecting citizens from the threat of the spread of infectious diseases. The purpose of the study is to analyze legislative novels and develop scientifically sound provisions to improve existing legislation and law enforcement practices in the field of counteracting encroachments in the field of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population. The main research method is the dialectical-materialistic method of cognition, which allows you to objectively and comprehensively consider the problems of legal assessment of offenses in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population. Along with it, general scientific research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, abstraction; special research methods were used: formal legal, interviewing. The work provides a detailed critical analysis of the composition of administrative offenses and crimes in the field of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population, explores the most important issues for law enforcement. In addition, the authors propose measures to improve legislation in this area. The criminological risks of introducing a system of immune passports are studied. The scientific novelty of the study is evidenced by the main conclusions and conclusions reached by the authors, containing recommendations for improving legislation in this area and the practice of its application. The independence of the conclusions made is confirmed by a comprehensive approach to the study of new norms of the current administrative and criminal legislation, as well as materials of judicial investigative practice.

Do So

Introducing research methods in the social sciences is not an easy task given how complex the subject matter is. Social sciences, like all sciences, can be divided into categories (disciplines). Disciplines are frequently defined according to what they study (their empirical object) and how they study it (their particular problematization of the object). They are, however, by no means unitary entities. Within each discipline, multiple theories typically contend over the ability to tell provisional truths about the world. They do so by building on specific visions of the nature of the world, reflections on how to generate scientific truth, systematic ways of collecting and analyzing data (methods) and of justifying these methods as part of a coherent research design (methodologies).

The article is devoted to the communicative behavior of a mediator, whose professional activity is subject to certain norms, rules and principles. The principle of neutrality in the communicative behavior of the mediator is considered in detail. The efforts of two specialists: a lawyer, a practicing mediator, and a linguist who completed a basic course of mediation is combined in the article. The confidentiality of information related to the mediation procedure determined the choice of the main research methods: linguistic self-observation in combination with reflection of professional experience and included observation of the choice of language, speech and non-verbal means in quasi-real training situations. The study identified verbal and non-verbal means that allow the mediator to remain impartial and independent in mediation. Verbal means of neutrality are analyzed at the macro and micro levels of the language system and the speech activity of the mediator. It was revealed that the principle of neutrality is manifested in the mediator's open message about his role as a neutral intermediary, as well as in special technological methods of mediation: echo technique, resume and idea development. On the subject of neutrality, sound reactions, kinetic, visual and spatial signals of the mediator are analyzed. The restrictions and prohibitions in the communicative behavior of the mediator are determined. The conclusion is drawn about the caution of using the considered tools in specific conflict / dispute situations.

This study conducted bibliometric analysis of 214 national and 1847 foreign research papers in the Machiavellianism field, presenting the research status, evolution process and main research themes in a visual form to clarify the overall knowledge structure of Machiavellianism research. The results of the study showed that between 2013 and 2019 there was a significant increase of interest among scholars the world around in issues related to the concept of Machiavellianism. The number of published research papers over the recent six years are roughly equal in the number of papers released between 1970 and 2012. Also, the dark triad, behavior and traits covered the largest number of keywords. In recent years, some new trends have emerged in Machiavellianism research. The interest of the world scientific community has mainly focused on the “dark” side of Machiavellianism. The dark dozen, sadism, moral disunity, cyberbullying, and depression reflect the current hot themes associated with Machiavellianism research. It has also become obvious that despite significant efforts to develop the study of Machiavellianism, the current research is not sufficient. In general, the results of the study contribute to understanding of the relationship between the concept of Machiavellianism and other concepts of psychology, expand knowledge about the evolution process of the Machiavellianism field and possible directions for future trends.
