The Final qualification work (FQW) of Guo Jingyi is devoted to identifying the structural and semantic features of indefinitely personal and infinitive sentences used in the headlines of Russian Internet news.
The chosen topic seems to be very relevant, due to the changes taking place in the modern media space. The trend of recent years towards the “roboticization” of journalism is manifested in the technologization of the process of news aggregation and the creation of accurate and concise texts. Analysis of the news selection on the "Arguments and Facts" Internet portal makes it possible to compare news headlines and identify syntactic means of their creation that interpret the described event in different ways and have different manipulative potential.
It is necessary to take into account the fact that, according to the author, “the semantic and pragmatic characteristics of indefinitely personal sentences to the greatest extent allow in the news headlines to indicate the essence of the fact itself and present it in an unbiased form. If the task of the author is to form a certain attitude to the fact, then the constructions of infinitive sentences with a high degree of expressiveness are used.
The author collected a large number of contexts (470 headlines), which ensures the reliability of the results. The conclusions drawn are quite convincing. Guo Jingyi proved that "most of the news headlines, which are created under the influence of social value orientation and in accordance with the main trends in the development of the modern Russian language, demonstrate the innovative approach of the authors."
The FQW has a clear structure, is distinguished by a clear and logical presentation.
Guo Jingyi demonstrated scientific erudition, knowledge of terminological vocabulary, and the ability to think independently.
Guo Jingyi's graduation work deserves a positive assessment.
