Abstract

This study investigates the dynamic interplay between digital discourse and the evolving contours of Ukrainian identity. Employing a corpus-based approach, we analyze a substantial dataset of social media posts, online news articles, and forum discussions to identify key linguistic features and ideological narratives that shape and reflect contemporary Ukrainian self-perception. The research focuses on identifying recurring themes, sentiment patterns, and rhetorical strategies employed in online communication to understand how collective memory, political discourse, and social experiences are articulated and negotiated within the digital sphere. Furthermore, the study examines the influence of geopolitical events, such as the ongoing conflict, on the expression and construction of Ukrainian identity online. Our findings reveal a complex and multifaceted identity that is constantly being redefined through digital interactions, demonstrating the profound impact of online spaces on the formation and dissemination of national consciousness.
