BY-NET - Belarusian-language Internet resources 3221-S1-FBA-BNBZI21
Classes are divided into three interrelated blocks.
The first block will be devoted to presenting various Belarusian-language Internet sources and to a detailed discussion of the language situation in the Belarusian internet segment. During these classes, not only will disproportions in the use of Russian and Belarusian be presented, but so too wil differences in the functioning of various varieties and variants of modern Belorussian.
The second block of classes will focus on the analysis of previous studies on the Belarusian segment of the Internet. Students will become familiar with key items devoted to the functioning of the Belorussian region in the virtual space, and to general consideration of the specificity of internet communication. Based on the reading materials, students thoroughly acquaint themselves with the characteristics of communication in the virtual space, as well as various language phenomena and trends present in the development of modern Belorussian.
In the third block of classes, theoretical considerations will be enriched with practical analysis of Belarusian-language Internet resources. Students, using the previously acquired knowledge and skills, will prepare presentations devoted to the contemporary Belarusian world as it functions in the virtual space. During the presentation, students will have to critically refer to previously read and discussed studies.
By completing the above task, students will not only develop the competences necessary to conduct and present the results of their own research, and look at the language used on the Internet as one of the possible subjects of interest for modern linguists, but they will also better understand and remember the features of communication in the virtual space.
Student workload:
30 hours in class - 1 ECTS
