On the Russian Language and Linguistics in Modern Media: Analysis and Classification (Based on the Content of Popular Science Programs, Verticals, Columns, Podcasts, Blogs)
Abstract
The work is devoted to the exploration of approaches to the presentation of popular science content about the Russian language and linguistics in Russian media in 2000–2023. The author concludes that the emphasizing of the importance of linguistics for non-linguists may become a new way of linguistics popularization.
