🌟 New Article Spotlight in Acta Humanitatis! 🌟

We are proud to present a compelling article by V. Kozlova and A. Posna (2024) titled:
“Pragmatic Aspect of English Fake News Discourse,” published in Acta Humanitatis, 2(2), 92–123. 📚✨

This insightful study examines how English-language fake news functions as a manipulative communicative phenomenon, designed to shape public opinion through the strategic use of emotionally charged language, sensationalist headlines, and distorted facts. With a strong focus on pragmatics, the article identifies key tactics and discourse features that make fake news an influential force in today’s media landscape.

Key Insights from the Study:
🔹 Typological features of fake news, such as provocative headlines, thematic eclecticism, and unverifiable sources.
🔹 Strategic use of emotionally loaded language to provoke psychological responses.
🔹 Identification of core manipulative tactics, including:
— emotional appeal
— shifting blame
— referencing authority
— misinformation and dark humor
🔹 Analysis of stylistic and linguistic tools used to embed disinformation as credible content.

By dissecting the mechanics of fake news discourse, the authors offer a fresh lens for understanding how language can be weaponized in digital communication. This article is essential reading for researchers, educators, media analysts, and anyone interested in the intersection of linguistics and misinformation.
