Cyber-Reality and E-Learning Thesaurus Structure Modelling

Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University (Institute of Philology), language: English, abstract: This paper¿s overall objective is the investigation of generic and functional meta-code structures, thesaurus development phenomenology in the ICT, e-learning, DL, intercultural competences sphere in the framework of the IRNet project integrated discourse. The objective premise is that cyberspace apparently presents a functional ontological as well as a cognitive model of Reality, the semiotic manifestation of the latter taking place concurrently and prospectively within cognition and research grasp, as opposed to non-cyber-reality, linguo-ontogenesis of which could be retrospectively constructed on mostly hypothetical principles.

The objective hypothesis of the study is that the typological characteristics of innovative ICT, e-learning, DL, intercultural competences thesaurus as a macro-object of a phenomenological investigation determine the specificity of static configuration and dynamic interaction of formal and substantive constituents of its microstructure.

The ICT, cyber-reality and e-learning, Thesaurus is an attempt to define and categorize the key components of innovative cyberterminology, instrumental to e-learning environment construction and constitution. Suggested is the ICT Thesaurus macro-, micro- and mega-structures modelling based on three groundwork principles: 1) Intranet anthroposphere (the anthropic environment within World Wide Web); 2) Outernet anthroposphere (e-reality components, functions outside the realm of World Wide Web); 3) Technocentric anthroposphere (transoriented anthropic environment components with a anthropic-for-congenous substituted onthological parameter). All units, listed and clusterised in the Thesaurus are supplied with a dominant or recessive conceptual marker or a combination of markers, indicative of the unit allegiance to the corresponding ontological categories of cyber-anthropospheric e-learning environment.
