“…Within the framework of the media linguistic approach, the methodology for analyzing media texts, is characterized by a stable system of parameters which allows an extremely accurate description of a particular media text. A central category of media linguistics is media text which is considered to be a discrete unit of mass media discourse (Posternyak 2020).…”

The current paper addresses the issue of axiological potential of mass media discursive texts generated during the coronavirus outbreak, namely those discussing and debating Russian vaccines. The study draws on discourse analysis and linguoaxiological analysis of media texts, which reveals the main ideological trends of informing the global community about the state of the Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine. The authors have determined that the trends revealed as a result of media discourse analysis concern such phenomena as ‘political agenda’, ‘safety issues’ and ‘compulsion to vaccinate / mistrust of government’. To share these axiologically charged ideas, speakers follow particular verbal practices, i.e., using emotive vocabulary, primarily evaluative word-combinations, axiological notions, metaphors, pejorative vocabulary, discursive markers etc. for manipulating the perception of the covered events. As a result, main constituents for the three key thematic fields are identified, extensively described, and structured through verbal representations of axiological notions. The results illustrate how mass media discourse can be used to investigate axiological notions delivered by the author. Besides, it can provide researchers with an instrument to identify the language means used to create either positive or negative media image.

“…Scientists have studied concepts COUNTRY, RUSSIA, AMERICA, GERMANY, FRANCE, EUROPE and a number of others (Grishina, 2003;Kudankina, 2005;Malykhina et al, 2017;Pimenova, 2013;Posternyak 2020). Taking into account that English includes the main communicative means, a need to analyse the concept ENGLAND is necessary to understand and perceive the "content" of the language, which is undeniable.…”

The purpose of the research is the empirical study of the peculiarities of the deployment of the concept ENGLAND and its subconcepts in the linguistic consciousness of Ukrainians in terms of logical-semantic organization of the respondents’ thinking and speech activity. Methods. Theoretical methods were categorical and structurally-functional analysis of lexical units, the methods of systematization, modeling, generalization; empirical ones – the analysis of lexical units, the experiment. For the purpose of studying the ways of explication of the concept «ENGLAND» and its subconcepts in the consciousness of Ukrainian students we used the associative experiment; the designations of the kernel and the periphery of the concept ENGLAND were included as stimulus-words. Results. It was shown that the concept ENGLAND was included into the worldview of the Ukrainian ethnic group. It is a cultural script in the individual consciousness, the form of which facilitates the formation of the mentality of Ukrainian students. Due to the influence of the concept ENGLAND, a person immerses himself/herself in British and, thanks to the translation of lexical units from English to his/her native Ukrainian language, in Ukrainian culture, and thus can influence the British multicultural world (even if a Ukrainian does not live in England). Conclusions. We proved, that in the mind of the person a concept is generated on the basis of the results of practical activity, cognition and assessment of the objective world. At the same time, any concept appears in the form of the image that can be amplified by various degrees of abstraction. When the number of its signs increases, that is the level of abstraction also increases, the sensory image gradually turns into a mental image. This principle of formation of the mental representation of knowledge about the world allows us to consider the concept as a complex, amplified paradigmatic structure, which includes various aspects of knowledge and personally significant experience, including scripts of worldview, rational, emotional, multicultural aspects.
