metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article reflects the results of a study of public political discourse about the conflict in the
  Donbass, formed by Twitter institutional actors (permanent missions to the UN) and political
  figures (representatives, their deputies, etc.) of countries — permanent members of the
  UN Security Council. Chronological scope of the study: from January 2015 (escalation of the
  armed conflict in the Donbass, starting with the shelling of the stop near Volnovakha and
  the aggravation of the fighting for the Donetsk airport) to the present (2021). By analyzing
  the messages in Twitter, some trends in the development of discourse have been revealed. We prove the hypothesis about the existence of two divergent variants of discourse, which in
  different ways characterize the participants in the conflict in the South-East of Ukraine. To
  confirm the hypothesis, we use a technique for analyzing political discourse, which includes
  two levels of analysis: the identification of key conceptual metaphors in both discourse options
  (positively or negatively characterizing the parties of the conflict) and the identification of the
  semantic opposition “we — they” realized within the metaphors. We identify the metaphorical
  images of the conflict parties as a whole and the concepts used, and then the conceptual
  metaphors they create. We conclude that in both variants of discourse, most conceptual metaphors
  are based on negative concepts that designate the opposite side of the conflict, and that
  the discussion is characterized by increased emotional tension.
