“…Also, in this paper, similar to the study of P. Vrba, negative prosody prevailed in characterizing public attitude to the president of the Russian Federation [10]. Finally, one of the pivotal themes to emerge from this inquiry was the destitute circumstances of the Ukrainian civilians and representation of Russia and its politics as a victimizer, complying with the results of A. Kryzhanivska [7].…”

This paper explored the representation of war in Ukraine, utilizing corpus linguistics methods. It presents the gleanings of the analysis of the international press release covering the period February 24th - November 1st, based on a specialized corpus (1 081 971 tokens) of world newspaper articles compiled for this study. Using the LancsBox software package, a keyword analysis was carried out, providing a window into lexical patterns and typical themes associated with the war in Ukraine. The study highlighted the quantitative characteristics of the target corpus by singling out keywords and their collocates, followed by a qualitative interpretation of their usage in context. The themes commonly referenced in the target corpus were as follows: military intervention, actors/agents, implements, consequences, victims, description and attitudes, resistance, and economy. On the paradigmatic level, the highest occurrences were documented for lexemes war, invasion, and conflict as referents to the concept of ongoing warfare. On the syntagmatic level, lexically rich were the themes of attitudes towards war and its influence on the global economy. Negative discourse prosodies were evident in the discussion of war and some of its agents. In sum, the paper helps understand public attitudes and evaluation of war in the news coverage, which shape the image of Ukraine in the global arena.

“…By doing so, they place an emphasis on the internal nature of the affairs, not immediately connected to Russia's aggression. This echoes the findings by Kryzhanivska, who noted indirect references used by some media sources [Kryzhanivska 2022]. The researcher noted that by employing terms like civil war to describe the military intervention, media sources inadvertently or intentionally reflected the Russian rhetoric of portraying the conflict as an internal matter.…”

This study presents the findings of a corpus-based comparative analysis of lexical characteristics in the prevalent discourses of the Russian-Ukrainian war coverage within Eastern and We-stern news releases. The analysis relied on two specialized corpora comprising articles from Eastern (475506 tokens) and Western (531973 tokens) news outlets compiled to serve the objectives of this study. To examine the textual data, keyword analysis, n-grams analysis, and collocation analysis were utilized.The obtained findings revealed both similarities and divergences in terms of lexical characteristics and discourses in war coverage. Negative discourse prosodies related to the ongoing war were identified in both corpora, revealing a condemnation of the military intervention through their linguistic choices. However, notable differences were documented in the extent of emphasis on the war proceedings and related issues induced by war. The Eastern news sources displayed a degree of ambivalence in their position towards the conflict, with a tendency to present it as dependent on internal factors within Ukraine. On the other hand, the Western news sources extensively commented on the agents of the war and the war-related agenda, using emotionally-charged language to portray the war and its consequences. Furthermore, even within the context of war, the Eastern news outlets prioritized the themes of economic stability, Covid-19 pandemic, the need for dialogue, and international collaboration. In contrast, its Western counterpart paid more heed to the representation of the military intervention itself. The Eastern news coverage emphasized the region's policy of maintaining neutrality in the conflict, which contrasted with the West's unequivocal position in designating the aggressor side and placing stronger emphasis on the discussion of the military intervention. In sum, critically evaluating the messages encoded through linguistic means disseminated by the media can empower global readership to make more informed judgments in the discourse of war.

“…Memberships allowed us to follow important debates related to writing pedagogy through newsletters and forums, thus supporting our teacher identity formation . Professional community membership also, in part, contributed to our engagement in research that later resulted in publications (e.g., Bychkovska & Lee, 2017;Kryzhanivska, 2017). Data for Tetyana's published empirical projects were collected from previous sections of the same course that Tetyana would teach in her second year, which allowed her to analyze the language use and needs of the student population she would encounter.…”
