Frame representation of the national features of news comments as an internet-discourse genre

The present study was conducted in the framework of a new scientific paradigm - the Internet linguistics. The focus is the genre of Internet comments. The purpose of this study is to prove feasibility of the frame modeling application in the analysis of virtual comments to news articles in Russian and French targeted to identify the peculiarities of the national perception of events. A frame-script and its forming sub-frames interconnected by the logic and semantic relations are identified. The logic semantic approach allows setting the phenomenon of the frame-logical correlation within the structural units of the frame model of the statement. Comparative parametrical method is used to objectify the obtained data and to derive the index of brightness of the sub-frame logically compatible with the frame-script which serves to compare study results based on Russian and French comments: to reveal the allomorphic and isomorphic traits in commenting on the events and to determine the influence of cultural-historical, socio-economic or political factors on the national consciousness.
