The concept of a break-up on Russian and English love forums

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the concept of a break-up on Russian and English love forums. In the center of our interest was the question how the feelings and emotions are narrated and whether there are any noticeable gender or cultural differences. Computer Mediated Communication Discourse Analysis was used as  a scientific method in this research. The results of the research show that there are several patterns of behavior which influence the discourse of forum users. Linguistic analysis of the discourse revealed differences between normal communication and computer mediated communication.
