“…Modern linguistics view the concept of human speech-thinking activity as a way of experiencing/ mastering/ evaluating certain life situations. There are several works which emphasize the importance of values for the society functioning and development (Blumler 2019;Crafa Liu and Brodeur 2019;Duizenberg 2020;Jacobsen and Fuchs 2020). Values are considered as guiding principles of human behavior (Sagiv and Roccas 2017) which contribute to peoples' well-being (Sortheix and Schwartz 2017).…”

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.

“…The spread of English used as the other language in society has become a picture of globalization and a trend that plays a significant role. That is why people are getting involved in integrating and interpreting different cultures in today's globalization era (Duizenberg, 2020). On the other hand, English can affect national identities in an urban area (Aristova, 2016).…”

The widespread use of English is depicted in the Linguistic Landscape (LL) in Tulungagung competes the Indonesian language (the national language) and Javanese language (the local language). The present study is aimed (1) to view the position of English language among the existing languages, (2) to investigate what motive that urges a signage owner in acquiring English, and (3) to explain the role performed by English in society. A descriptive qualitative method in research is carried out to explain the phenomenon. Data were collected from an observation of languages appear on signage and an interview to the signage owner. This study is set up in Tulungagung Regency that characterized as the Central Business District (CBD). From the total 460 photographed signages observed and the interviews done, it is shown that English in society is not more dominant than the Indonesian language in use as explained by Landry & Bourhis (1997) but as the interviews done with the signage owner, it narrates that English carries some characterization proposed by Piller (2001) that urge a party to acquire English and it also plays significant roles in society, specifically in business field as stated by Lee (2019). Thus, it challenges the use of local language, the Javanese language, since English appears within its excellence.

“…Given the doubts, let us accept this underlying hypothesis of the study: in courtroom discourse, cognitive dissonance has specific features in comparison with the generally known ones. This specificity concerns the varieties of the phenomenon in question and the cognitive mechanisms of its communicative impact (Duizenberg, 2020;Peron et al, 1985). The information set out in projection to the courtroom discourse has led to the formulation of the main conceptual idea of the study and its methodological principle.…”

The article reveals the specificity of cognitive dissonance in courtroom discourse as one of the mechanisms of communicative influence on the recipients. Two types of the phenomenon in question are grounded: dissonance caused by real-life facts, which include the nature of the crime itself, and dissonance artificially created by the prosecutor and the defense lawyer to persuasively influence the jury and the judge. Common is the use of a narrative as a persuasive, arousing the associative activity of the recipients by contrasting the axiological features of the concepts; combining elements of rational and emotional communicative influence. Distinctive features include the communicative strategies and tactics used by speakers and the choice of concepts around which communicative influence is modeled. The speeches of the prosecutor and the defense lawyer represent a kind of battle of narratives and a contest of cognitive dissonance. The research results in the following findings: the narrative that not only causes cognitive dissonance but also implicitly presents a way to overcome psychological discomfort and harmonize elements of the cognitive structure in the minds of the recipients wins.
