metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article introduces the scientific concept of meganarrative, substantiates the necessity of
  this term in the metalanguage of media linguistics and discusses the potential of using it as
  an instrument for structuring mass data in media space. The author aims to determine the
  linguistic resources used to create a meganarrative as a polydiscursive unit that brings together
  thematically related narratives expressing authors’ perception and evaluation of an
  event described. The possibility of using the proposed concept of meganarrative is analyzed
  on the example of an institutional-type political statement published by the U.S. Department
  of Defense. The tasks of the research consist in revealing the features of a meganarrative in
  media communication, establishing the causes of conflicting interests and finding linguistic
  means of resolving conflict situations. The study makes use of the methods of narrative and
  discourse analysis, contextual method, componential analysis of meanings of key lexical units
  and methods of linguacultural interpretation of linguistic peculiarities of a meganarrative.
  The research makes it possible to draw a number of conclusions: a meganarrative is understood
  as a polydiscursive formation which serves as a transtextual means of structuring media
  streams and ensuring a platform for intertextual dialogue between narrative participants of
  media communication; narrative techniques are shown to make an impact on the character
  of describing events and evaluating them in mass media; a meganarrative is shown to play an
  important role in uniting those who belong to the ‘US’ side, enhancing confrontation with the
  ‘THEM’ block and continuing rivalry with the ‘OTHER’ opponents.
