LINGUOCONFLICTOLOGY AND CONFLICTS IN RUSSIAN MEDIA (ANALYSIS OF DOUBLE CASE)

Abstract

The article is devoted to linguoconflictology – a branch of Russian linguistics, which reveals the causes and consequences of confrontational interaction. The article describes the history of its formation in the framework of legal linguistics as one of the linguophilosophical foundations of judicial linguistic expertise. Linguoconflictology is addressed, first of all, to future and current linguists-experts and is intended to make them aware of the regularities of conflict communication, which is subject to judicial linguistic examination, and the conflict nature of the expert activity itself; and secondly, future and current employees of mass media – for the prevention of speech torts in them. The author’s version of this science is described. The author reveals its basic concepts and shows the gradation from communicative failure to communicative conflict, which is characterized as normative-axiological and occurs when the norms of communication (naive-ethical, professional-ethical and legal) are violated. According to the author, it should be distinguished from speech conflict as a form of activity. Specific to this variant of linguoconflictology is the linguo-legal conflict. Its occurrence is caused by violation of legal requirements and prohibitions.The analysis algorithm developed by the author is demonstrated by the example of a double case – a conflict that began in the sports sphere as an injury in a stage football match, and continued in the media space of sports journalism as a communicative conflict and it almost escalated into a conflict linguolegal.
