metadata.value: The paper discusses linguistic aspects of the discursive construction of university identity.
  First it sets out the social context of the transformation of missions and functions of higher
  education in the knowledge society. It reflects contemporary changes of institutional models
  of higher education. The modern university might be described as a research-based and
  entrepreneurial university. Mission statements of 35 Russian Federal and National Research
  Universities and of 12 leading Kazakh Universities are analyzed as illustrative examples of
  discursive practice. The second objective of the study is to show how discourse analysis may
  contribute to interpreting the social construction of university identity. We use discourse as
  a form of social practice. The connection between text structures and social practice is analyzed
  as being mediated by discursive practice. The study showed that discourse analysis in
  combination with quantitative methods was an appropriate approach to interpret changes in
  processes of social and cultural change affecting contemporary transformation in higher education.
  Discourse analysis is an important method to identify new significant features of a
  national university. Universities basic functions are connected with implementing national
  policy for social and economic developments, social constructive role, innovative research,
  and commercial application. Linguistic choices are a key element in construction of social/
  discursive identity. In the semantic space of texts, values are formed and disseminated. Axiological
  semantics is a means of strengthening a positive mentality that of a knowledge society,
  making it socially shaped.
