COMMON INSTRUCTIVES IN NETWORK DISCOURSE

The article devoted to speech genre «common instructives» in network discourse. They are understood as various types of advice. The main feature is the addresser desire of providing assistance to the addressee. The functional characteristics of the instructives are related with the following features: 1) the direction of the illocutionary act; 2) obligatory or non-obligatory of the expected action implementation; 3) participants attitude to the recommended action in the communication; 4) tone of utterance. The areas of instruction dissemination are wide and varied. They are often found in the form of requirements, regulations, instructions, and warnings. They are characterized by the asymmetric top-down relations model, in which the addressee superiority is found, but at the same time the actions of addresser are independent. Instructives can illustrate a positive or a negative addressee reaction i.e. they can be accepted or not. Instructives in the web often merge with entertaining genres of playful sayings such as absurd or "harmful" advice.

The Ritz program for assigning rotational and rovibrational transitions in asymmetric-top molecules

The Ritz program is a user-interactive software package that simulates and enables the assignment of spectra of asymmetric top molecules, up to high rotational quantum numbers. The set of initial assignments can be extended using generated predictions for line positions. The graphical interface of the program handles wide spectral features corresponding to overlapped lines by fitting the expected number of profiles to the experimental contour. Features of the program allow for the detection and examination of Coriolis interactions. Initially designed to work for methanol and its isotopologues, the program has been modified to assign the spectra of cyanamide, hydrazine, acetaldehyde, and oxetane. An extension of the program, LaseRitz, has been developed for the assignment and prediction of optically pumped far-infrared laser transitions. Our paper presents a description of how the Ritz program works and provides an overview of studies carried-out using this software.
