Abstract
The phenomenon of social networking platform has been considered in the article. The Reddit online social chatting community has been selected as a basis for the study. The features of linguistic, psychological, textual semantic analysis have been applied to ten discussion comment charts concerning the latest random news – the death of Indian actor, Irfan Khan. The comments in Reddit social network have been allocated and linguistically marked with implicit or explicit comments. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) program has been used. It proved the textual analysis of the Reddit comment section statistically. The semantic analysis results of both previous papers concerning the notion of conflict situation and contradictions within the social media have been compared.
