THE QUANTUM-SEMANTIC PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS METHOD FOR THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE TEXT OF PROPAGANDA DISCOURSE
Abstract
The actual scientific problem of increasing the effectiveness of counteracting the impact of information propaganda on the basis of English-language texts is solved in the article by creating the quantum-semantic psycholinguistic analysis method for the English-language text of propaganda discourse. The subject of the study deals with the methods of psycholinguistic analysis, as well as the methods of providing quantum-semantic text analysis. The method consists of five stages and includes the basic psycholinguistic properties definition, a typical psycholinguistic profile constructing, identifying the manipulative features of the text and correlating them with the psycholinguistic profile, the technological strategy of information warfare determination and forming a model of propagandist’s psycholinguistic portrait on the basis of quantum-semantic analysis, which allows determining the features of text perception by using n-grams. At the same time, the approach of automated discourse analysis based on the advanced ID3 algorithm with the use of intensional logic was improved. The psycholinguistic peculiarities of text written exactly by the propagandist are determined by means of carrying out the first two method’s stages through the solvation of the semantic particle determination inverted problem, based on the informant's survey method. The manipulative features detection in the psycholinguistic portrait is carried out on the basis of the psychological influence traces study in the text through analyzing the English manipulative constructs and stylistic-semantic entropy, which, allows detecting manipulative deviations in text after correlating the set of semantic particles with a typical psycholinguistic profile. The results of the study provide a propagandists’ psycholinguistic portrait definition in order to carry out the further actions of reverse targeted impact on him, taking into account his psychological characteristics for reducing the subconscious resistance and thus increasing the effectiveness of counter-propaganda. This will increase the level of the state’s information security.
