There are some blogs which were created by Georgian bloggers. They were trying to express civil activities, wanted to be involved in information war and provide information to western online space. The author of this paper reviews these online recourses. She is trying to study what kind of publications people could come ＂across, which one dominated-- materials based on information or on personal feelings, how frequently the blogs were renewed, how many readers visited these websites and etc. The purpose of the research is to find out how effective working with these groups was; whether the world leader TV or newspaper agencies used these alternative media publications and photos as the source of information or not. From the very beginning of the war several groups were formed in Facebook which is the unconditional leader in the social networks. The aim of these groups was to protect Georgia from Russian aggression. Most of these groups united Georgia＇s supporters but people also met supporters of Russia and Ossetia. These are open groups of interactive type where anybody and not only by the registered members could participate. The members, besides leaving comments and taking part in discussions, could also upload photos and videos. Consequently, we came across shots describing Russian aggression as well as facts of bombing Ossetia by the Georgian side.展开更多

This paper focuses on the analysis of his writing style as a news reporter and as a literary writer in order to investigate whether there exists some links between the two or whether his training as a reporter has any effect on his writing as fiction writer. By employing a corpus-based stylistic approach, the paper analyzes in great details Hemingway＇s early news writing in Kansas City Star （ 1917-1918） and his later fiction writing in the novella The Old Man and the Sea （1952）. The stylistic features at lexical level are explored quantitatively in both writings via statistical data. The paper concludes that Hemingway＇s writing style has his own heritage. The style in his early news articles does find its way into his later fiction writing. There do exist certain similarities in the choices of lexical items and phrasal expressions. It also indicates that a further exploration on their syntactic, rhetorical, and discourse levels is needed ira fuller picture of Hemingway＇s writing style is to be unveiled.展开更多
