Afinogenova Viktoriya Alekseevna

This research continues series of studies associated with the phenomenon of speech provocation and turned to identification of users’ individual intensional profiles in context of speech provocations during discussions of thematically different events. We analyzed discussions of popular posts about current events in online community “Moscow 24” in VKontakte social network. Negative and neutral intentions dominate in the intentional space of Internet discourse. Three types of users’ individual intentional profiles were identified - critical, strongly critical and weighted. They differ by the ratio of negative, positive and neutral intentions. The type of intentional profile defines the nature of the user's discussion. Variants of balanced and unbalanced users’ provocative profiles are described. They allow us to characterize peculiarities of users’ speech provocations in online communication.
