Communicative Construct of the Composite Threat-performatives

Network Behavior Of Homo Digitalis In Combined Communication Space

“…2-4). Regardless of the "narrow" or "wide" interpretation, the new digital paradigm already today has tremendous applied capabilities in terms of information transfer and is capable of forming new technological "environments" ("platforms"), within which any user can create a "friendly" environment: financial, technological or methodical, which helps to more effectively solve classes of complex problems (Bhatia, 2017;Johansson, 2014;Kirner-Ludwig, 2019;Novoselova et al, 2015).…”

Threatening Strategy In Pre-Election Discourse

“…It is possible to indicate I-politician's (I-speaker's) and I-voter's (I-listener's, I-addressee's) modalities on the communicative construct of pre-election threat.
