Информационная война: методологические принципы лингвистического исследования

Abstract

The article describes the methodological algorithm of investigation of the texts of information-psychological warfare. In the Russian information environment, these texts are nominated by information attacks. The ap-proach worked out by the author includes three constituents: 1) identification of the target of the information attack (taking into account statements of officials characterizing a certain layer of information); 2) collection of the data correlated with the target; 3) analysis of the information attack content. Each of the above mentioned stages needs a certain research method aimed at solution of the corresponding problem. The data are collected with the help of the case method, while the content is studied using content analysis (the method of qualitative analysis of texts and text corpuses with the purpose of further con-tent interpretation of the revealed numerical regularities). Though the case method and content analysis are regarded as the main research methods, it seems feasible to use them in combination with other methodological approaches, which makes it possible to get a complete picture of the phenomenon under study. The use of the suggested algorithm is illustrated by the example of the information attack upon the Russian sport in foreign mass media in 2014-2014.

В статье рассматривается методологический алгоритм изучения текстов информационно-психологической войны на примере информационной атаки на российский спорт в британских и американских СМИ.
