Finally, we can reveal what happened at the closed meeting of the career guidance club of the Institute of Social and Technical Sciences of the National Technical University ‘KPI’! 🤫
Secret weapon: Words.
А lecturer at the Department of Information and Communication Systems, held a master class on ‘exposing illusions.’ The students learned about psycholinguistic influence on the masses and how it is used in political propaganda. 🧠
This is not theory, this is the real work of a Linguist-Analyst!
⚔️ Battle of the Analysts: Sharks vs. Dolphins! The schoolchildren were divided into two teams:
🦈 Sharks: A tough, pragmatic style.
🐬 Dolphins: A flexible, consensus-oriented style.
The participants tried their hand at being linguistic scouts, recognising political narratives and manipulations in media reports. They learned to see not just words, but the hidden agendas behind them.
This proves once again that applied linguistics is not about rules, but about power over information and influence.
