Moiseeva I.U., Volohova A.V. LEXICAL REPRESENTATION OF CONCEPTS “NATION” AND “NATIONALITY” IN PRINTED MEDIATEXTSThe study of the coverage of interethnic relations in the media is carried out by journalists, sociologists, and political scientists. However, this question is slightly illuminated in modern linguistics. The texts have been studied through concepts that are “the main indicator of the author’s thoughts”. The main segment of the study was the lexical representation of the concepts “nation” and “nationality” in printed “media texts”. The analysis of the main theme of each text “requires an integrated approach.” The meaning has a portrait of a potential audience. In many respects it is “from the reader’s interests that depends on what and how the authors write”. That is why the material of the study was four Russian publications with the largest circulation and different readership: “Vedomosti”, “Kommersant”, “Argumenty i Fakty”, “Moskovsky Komsomolets”. There are 1279 rooms in total. Journalistic works are called a “mirror of society”, therefore, the period in which media text is created is equally important. The political situation in the country is reflected in the media. Therefore, we studied the numbers published before the financial and economic crisis in Russia (2011) and after (2016). For a heterogeneous society, which is Russia, the ethnic factor is among the most important, defining the atmosphere in society. One of the most important channels of influence on people’s opinions is the mass media. Many Russian scientists have studied this topic. GM Niyazova argues that “one of the most commonly used technologies for spreading” ethnophobia “in the media is the creation and dissemination of negative ethnic stereotypes.” Modern researchers of Russian journalism believe that “this is a kind of consequence of the” world through ethnic glasses “approach, when in any event an emphasis is placed on the ethnic component.” Serious attention is paid to the problem of interethnic relations in the media at the state level. Minister of Regional Development Igor Slyunyaev said: “Interethnic conflicts are often developed and heated by the mass media. Serious work and strict responsibility are required.” During the research of media texts of the newspaper “Vedomosti”, “Kommersant”, “Arguments and Facts”, “Moskovsky Komsomolets” 2011-2011, 2016, we came to the conclusion that the lexical representation of the concepts “nation” and “ nationality “reflects the political situation in society. In 2011, the lexico-semantic fields of the concepts studied were words aimed at the formation of people’s unity (“all”, “every”, “any”, “regardless of”, etc.). In 2016, media texts are aimed at strengthening international relations and shaping the image of Russia in the world arena (“dignity”, “rehabilitation”, “well-being”, “pride”, etc.).Key words: media text, media language, concept, lexical-semantic field of media, nation, nationality.
