Eponym – 1) cognitive, historical-cultural terms derived from proper names used in specific-professional fields of communication; 2) language units / lexemes derived proper names (mostly from anthroponyms, toponyms) that have cumulative, memorial, image, instrumental, unique (individual), integration functions in political discourse. Cognition – a complex set of thinking processes, based on previous experience, memory, perception, and cognitive experience. Image – a special visual (people, phenomena, substance) aimed at the emotional and psychological impact on a broad distribution goal. One of the tools of propaganda. Manipulation – the turning of a situation to advantage. Controlling someone or something to your own advantage often unfairly or dishonestly.

The relevance of the research topic: The discourse revolution in Linguistics, the increasing role of "human factor" draws the attention of linguists not only to the description of language structures but also to the problem of comprehensive research of the speaker. This is a major research topic in the field of the anthropocentric paradigm, the study of linguistic units in relation to the human being. The peculiarity of the new paradigm is its simultaneous investigation of communicative, cognitive and linguocultural aspects. In this respect, eponyms are studied on the basis of the anthropocentric paradigm as one of the main language elements of political discourse and show the relevance of the work. Analysis of political discourse helps to identify concepts, conceptual oppositions, tactics, and strategies belonging to a particular community, and optimally communicate with recipients. Political discourse is reflected in the socio- political life of the culture, which has itself components of culture, common and specific cultural values of a certain country. One of the linguistic units that have accumulated such common and national-specific cultural values is an eponym. In recent years, it is crucially important to study the relationship between politics and language in the formation of a new political thinking, the influences of periodicals and linguistic units in the political discourse of politicians on public consciousness. Firstly, the importance of investigating the pragmatic influences of addressers to addressees by using eponyms in periodicals, the significance of forming recipients’ views on internal and world political issues are topical; and secondly, the ways of pragmatic influences of the discourses of politicians, in particular the main mechanisms of pragmatic influences of eponyms as a linguistic instrument of the political discourse, and to study the functions and the manipulative potentials of eponyms in the political discourse are acute. In terms of various professional communication, among political terms, eponyms play an important role as an onomastic term in political discourse. First and foremost, they are considered as one of the main sources of disciplinary education; secondly, they have national and international cognitive-cultural information and are broadly used in communication of specialists. However, until present time eponyms have not been the subject of research as a part of political discourse, and the systematic and lexicographical register has not been taken into account. These issues are relevant and need

  • Putin's Cold, Callous and Calculated Threat to Ukraine and European Security Aug
    Taras Kuzio: Putin's cold, callous and calculated threat to Ukraine and European security Aug. 3, 2014, 12:44 p.m. | Op­ed — by Taras Kuzio Print version An Ukrainian girl cries as she stands on the road with her luggage after she left her home near the village of Hrabove (Grabovo), some 80km east of Donetsk on August 2, 2014. The insurgent stronghold of Lugansk in eastern Ukraine is on the verge a humanitarian catastrophe, the mayor warned Saturday, as a siege by government troops has seen water, electricity and food supplies cut off. AFP PHOTO/ BULENT KILIC © AFP The European Union in consultation with the United States, Canada and its international allies has adopted long over due third stage sectoral sanctions against Russia. The reasons are due to Russian President Vladimir Putin's cold, callous and calculated old­fashioned imperialism towards Ukraine and his threat to European security. The West long harboured illusions about both Putin and former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych only to eventually reach the conclusion they were kleptocratic liars, cold and violent thugs. This was already evident in the case of Putin as soon as he came to power with allegations the FSB, the domestic successor to the KGB that he had been an officer in, blowing up apartments to re­ignite the Chechen conflict, in the massive war crimes committed in Grozny and against Chechens and Russian­ backed separatism and ethnic cleansing in Georgia. Yanukovych's two jail sentences and ties to organised crime should have provided a reliable guide to his likely brutal behaviour in asset stripping Ukraine, murdering unarmed Euromaidan protesters and with big brother Putin fomenting Donetsk terrorism.

  • Hillary Rodham Clinton, “Remarks on the Release of the 10Th Annual Trafficking in Persons Report” (14 June 2010)
    Voices of Democracy 10 (2015): 1-19 1 HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, “REMARKS ON THE RELEASE OF THE 10TH ANNUAL TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS REPORT” (14 JUNE 2010) Karrin Vasby Anderson Colorado State University 1 Abstract: On June 14, 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton released the State Department’s 10th annual Trafficking in Persons Report. Clinton used her speech to expand the neo-abolitionist frame that dominated anti-trafficking discourse, presenting human trafficking as a global human rights issue rather than as a problem primarily of law and border enforcement. Clinton’s speech also asserted the continuing moral authority of the United States and showcased her pragmatic sensibilities and presidential gravitas. Key Words: Hillary Clinton, Human Trafficking, Abolition, Modern-Day Slavery, Rhetoric and Diplomacy, Gender and Leadership. The problem of human trafficking has a long history, as does the record of oratorical opposition to it. Historically, abolition discourse not only condemned slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, but also offered radical reformers the opportunity to promote universal suffrage, expand the meaning of citizenship, and challenge dominant power structures.1 Contemporary anti-trafficking rhetoric often is less radical, having emerged from faith-based opposition to both legal and forced prostitution, and from governmental efforts to police borders. Much of this discourse is shaped by a “neo-abolitionist” understanding of human trafficking as “modern-day slavery”—a crime that Western governments and law enforcement agencies could prosecute and eradicate. Neo-abolitionism also posits that people with economic and political privilege are duty-bound to rescue those being “victimized” by traffickers. This view of the problem of human trafficking is challenged by a contrasting “human rights” perspective, which asserts that labor and sexual exploitation is a systemic problem—an outgrowth of poverty, misogyny, globalization, and technological change.

  • Polarized Ukraine 2014: Opinion and Territorial Split Demonstrated With
    Polarized Ukraine 2014: Opinion and Territorial Split Demonstrated with the Bounded Confidence XY Model, Parameterized by Twitter Data Maksym Romenskyy Department of Life Sciences, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK and Department of Mathematics, Uppsala University, Box 480, Uppsala 75106, Sweden Viktoria Spaiser School of Politics and International Studies, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK Thomas Ihle Institute of Physics, University of Greifswald, Felix-Hausdorff-Str. 6, Greifswald 17489, Germany Vladimir Lobaskin School of Physics, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland (Dated: July 26, 2018) Multiple countries have recently experienced extreme political polarization, which in some cases led to escalation of hate crime, violence and political instability. Beside the much discussed presi- dential elections in the United States and France, Britain’s Brexit vote and Turkish constitutional referendum, showed signs of extreme polarization. Among the countries affected, Ukraine faced some of the gravest consequences. In an attempt to understand the mechanisms of these phe- nomena, we here combine social media analysis with agent-based modeling of opinion dynamics, targeting Ukraine’s crisis of 2014. We use Twitter data to quantify changes in the opinion divide and parameterize an extended Bounded-Confidence XY Model, which provides a spatiotemporal description of the polarization dynamics. We demonstrate that the level of emotional intensity is a major driving force for polarization that can lead to a spontaneous onset of collective behavior at a certain degree of homophily and conformity. We find that the critical level of emotional intensity corresponds to a polarization transition, marked by a sudden increase in the degree of involvement and in the opinion bimodality.

  • VLADIMIR PUTIN: an ASPIRANT METTERNICH? by Mitchell A
    JANUARY 2015 VLADIMIR PUTIN: AN ASPIRANT METTERNICH? By Mitchell A. Orenstein Mitchell A. Orenstein is Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Northeastern University in Boston and an affiliate of both the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and the Minda de Gunzberg Center for European Studies at Harvard University. As Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his military into Ukraine in 2014, people were quick to compare him to Adolph Hitler, whose annexation of Austria and invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland set off World War II. Hillary Clinton commented in March 2014 that if Putin’s justification for taking Crimea to protect ethnic Russians sounded familiar, it was because, “it’s what Hitler did back in the ’30s. Germans by ancestry were in places like Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places, [and] Hitler kept saying they’re not being treated right. I must go and protect my people.” Since that time Ukrainian Euromaidan supporters have published dramatic images of Putin as “Putler,” mashups that have trended wildly on social media and become a staple of public protests. Yet, Putin’s approach to world affairs is more similar to that of another Austrian, Prince Klemens von Metternich. Like Metternich, the dominant force in post-Napoleonic era diplomacy, Putin is a conservative imperialist who seeks to create a balance or “concert” between the great powers in Europe, while suppressing liberal democratic politics and the aspirations of small nations. By comparing Putin’s worldview with that of Metternich, one can gain more insight into Putin’s approach to world affairs than can be understood from much contemporary debate.

  • The Post-Trauma of the Great Patriotic War in Russia
    The Post-Trauma of the Great Patriotic War in Russia AN ESSAY BY ELIZAVETA GAUFMAN University of Bremen Abstract: Collective memory often functions as embeddedness for a narrative that can have profound legitimation consequences. In order to make a population ‘buy’ a narrative, mem- ory entrepreneurs can manipulate traumatic memories in a population to justify the subver- sion of democratic processes, which is particularly dangerous. The ‘Great Patriotic War’, as World War II is known in Russia, commemorates not just the defeat of fascism, but also the survival of the nation in the face of extinction. It is also the most important heroic and unify- ing event in recent Russian history and is now actively used in nation-building efforts. The main argument of this essay is that due to the very traumatic nature of the collective memory of the Great Patriotic War in Russia, its citizens are bound to react in an emotional way to the issues that are discursively connected to the war. Keywords: Russia, Ukraine, trauma, fascism, commemoration, memory, epigenetics ‘To have the glory of the past in common, a shared will in the present; to have done great deeds together and want to do more of them, are the essen- tial conditions for the constitution of a people’. Ernest Renan enan was referring to nation-building in late 19th century France, but his words ring R true today. Memory, or to be more precise, emotive memory is indispensable for na- tion-building; almost all nations have foundational myths that are based on more or less au- thentic memories of greatness and suffering.

Contact: [email protected] Leila Roos December 14, 2014 Pawns and Paranoia: Baltic-American Anxiety over Russian Aggression Pia Polikarpus doesn’t consider herself a political person. She would describe herself as more of “an old flower child, I guess.” There is, however, one political topic she will readily discuss — the threat of Russian aggression. Though Polikarpus was born and raised in New York, she is very “Baltic-minded” because of her Estonian parents, Latvian husband and Lithuanian nephew. At 57, Polikarpus has seen Estonia struggle through occupation and flourish through independence. Given Russia’s recent provocations, she’s starting to wonder if it could go back to how it was in the Soviet times. She’ll raise concerns to her insurance firm coworkers, “trying to open their eyes a little, but they don’t even know where these countries are” — let alone what happened there. “I tell them about how Estonia was occupied and no one was allowed to leave during the Cold War. It was a country that would be like ours, except in the third world.” The ease on travel restrictions allowed Polikarpus to visit Estonia in 1989.

    Gendered Voices: Rhetorical Agency and the Political Career of Hillary Rodham Clinton A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Justin Lee Killian IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, Ph.D. (Adviser) August 2012 © Justin Lee Killian 2012 Acknowledgments As a critic, I seek to understand how agency is created by the phrases we write and the words we speak. I love language, and these pages are my attempt to make sense of voice, rhetoric, and politics. The insightful ideas in this project come from the beautiful voices of my friends and family. The mistakes and blunders are all mine. I am blessed by the love of so many wonderful people, and I offer these acknowledgments as a small gesture of gratitude to all who have touched this project. As an academic, I am most indebted to Karlyn Kohrs Campbell for her faith and guidance. She nurtured this project from the beginning, and she was the driving force that helped push me over innumerable stumbling points. I am so glad she offered tough love and refused to let me stop fighting. I can only hope that my work in some way answers the important call Dr. Campbell has issued to the field of rhetorical studies. I am honored that she gave me her time and dedication. She will forever be my mentor and teacher. I also give thanks to the other members of my review committee. I am very grateful to the guidance provided by Edward Schiappa.
