Social network site communities as agents and spaces of pursuing influence in society : forms, stages and attributes of building communicative power

2018

Before the emergence and high popularity of social media, individuals or even collectives of individual citizens rarely had strong voice in public discourse.

Young people are the main recipients and users of these means, both with positive effects in the learning and cognitive field and also with negative consequences in the social-relational field. Considered in terms of linguistic-communicative analysis, when used in the teaching do-main, social networks have both the advantage of providing ac-cessible corpora of conversational exchanges and that of contin-uously re-proposing the operational and pragmatic centrality of the subject/user. Starting from the parallel between the models of real conver-sation and the realizations of virtual com…

2017

Problemy ekologiczne przekraczają granice polityczne, a wdrażanie zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju napotyka na bariery i jest kontestowane przez niektóre grupy społeczne. Dalsza realizacja w pełnym zakresie tej idei wymaga zatem głębokich przemian w społeczeństwie,poprzedzonych szerokimi konsultacjami społecznymi.

Stosowane tam metody przekazu treści i sposoby argumentowania nie mieszczą się w klasycznych ramach. W prezentowanym artykule skupiono się na specyfice wykorzystania serwisów społecznościowyc…
