SOCIOCULTURAL INTERACTION IN INTERNET DISCOURSE: A COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE

Аннотация

This study explores the sociocultural interactions within Internet discourse from a cognitive perspective. This is further substantiated by recent studies on the integration of cultural elements in digital communication. By analyzing linguistic and cultural features, we aim to understand how cognitive strategies are employed to create and convey meaning in online communication. The findings highlight the significance of integrating cognitive and cultural aspects in the analysis of Internet discourse, suggesting new avenues for research in this domain.

Introduction: In the modern world, Internet discourse plays a key role in sociocultural communication, providing a unique space for the expression and exchange of ideas. Research by Ivanov1 highlights similar trends in Russian online communities, emphasizing the role of linguistic creativity. This assertion is supported by findings from Nguyen and Lee2 (2021), who emphasize the role of online platforms in shaping cultural and linguistic practices. A cognitive approach to the analysis of Internet discourse allows for a deeper understanding of the influence of language, thinking, and cultural factors on the formation of meaning in online communication. In this article, we propose to consider sociocultural interaction in Internet discourse through the prism of a cognitive perspective, focusing on the analysis of linguistic and cultural characteristics that affect communication in an online environment. Data Collection: To achieve the goals of this study, a qualitative method was employed to analyze Internet discourse. This methodology aligns with the recommendations of Smith and Doe, who emphasize the importance of qualitative approaches in linguistic research3. Text data were collected from various online sources, including forums, social media platforms, and blogs. These sources were selected to provide a diverse representation of online communication practices. Data Analysis: The collected data were analyzed using methods of cognitive linguistics and cultural analysis. Cognitive linguistics was utilized to identify the cognitive strategies that participants use to create meaning and 1 Ivanov, A. V. (2020).

Cultural analysis was employed to understand the cultural contexts and influences embedded in the discourse. Cognitive Linguistics Methods: The cognitive analysis focused on identifying and interpreting metaphors, mental models, and conceptual frameworks used in Internet discourse. Th
