GENOCIDE VOCABULARY IN THE NEWSPAPER “DAILY STAR”

Аннотация

The term "genocide" has entered into practice since 1944. It is a very specific term, referring to violent and brutal crimes committed against groups of people or nations with an aim to eliminate and abolish them. In 1944, it is Polish Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin who made up the term genocide in his book documenting Nazi policies of systematically destroying European Jews (ushmm.org). Afterwards, the term “genocide” has had great influence on all the spheres of life, psychology, national identity and of course linguistic thinking (Gasparyan 2014:27).
