Tools to actualise the informal register of communication in Russian and Palestinian blogs

this paper delves into the analysis of the materials from Russian and Palestinian blogs and applies a content analysis method. The study is aimed at analyzing the differences in commentary registers within blog communication, as well as identifying the differences and similarities in informal communicative tools used by Russian and Palestinian bloggers when addressing their audience. The analysis revealed that in both cases, in Palestinian and Russian blogs slang and informal conversational speech styles are used during interactions with subscribers, which are characteristic of friendly communication. Additionally, both cases involve the use of specific vocabulary and the personal pronoun you as a form of address to a large audience. However, some differences were found in the types of greetings and personal pronouns used by Palestinian bloggers depending on the content of their statements. Furthermore, while analyzing blogs from Palestine and Russia, we noted that Russian blogs feature active use of emojis and profanity, whereas Palestinian blogs predominantly include religious expressions without any profanity.
