Questions associated with the social adaptation of immigrants

A bstract. The present research is aimed at studying the peculiarities of linguistic fixation of lexemes that verbalize the processes of mutual social adaptation of both Muslim immigrants and members of the British linguistic culture. The study of these questions allows us to present an image of the functioning of the processes in the language leading to a change in the semantics of the meaning of the relevant lexical units. The study of these processes is carried out on the analysis of anonymous letters, which have received considerable distribution in British society. These letters were distributed among the British with opposing goals, however, they are quite comparable for conducting this kind of research. As a result of studying the letters, there were identified and classified the lexical units, reflecting the necessary changes in the language. There were also revealed the changes in their semantics used in the axiological aspect, which allows assessing the degree and possible means of manipulating the opinion of the speakers. Thus, according to the results of the study, a number of lexemes were identified, characterized by an associative connection with the concept of Muslim immigrants. In the future, the results of this study will form the basis of the level model of language variability. With further deepening of the linguistic aspect of the study, it is possible to compile a database for studying manipulative strategies of regulating public opinion, and, as a result, changes at the verbal level

The problem of cultural interaction between the countries of the East and the West is also demonstrated by migrants who have been living in Europe for quite a long time, however, they don't hurry to adopt the cultural traditions of the West, remaining true to the Islamic law and laws. In general, one can note the aggravation of relations between the indigenous population and migrants, which is promoted a lot by the behavior of the refugees themselves, disrespect for the culture of the host countries, and even the commission of crimes.
As it was mentioned above, the topic of the problem of migration is very sensitive, which can lead to accusations of human rights abuses, racism and intolerance. In this respect, it is very difficult to find examples of social advertising on the topic of migrants in British sources. However, recently, in April 2018, the letters were sent to the residents of London urging not to remain indifferent to the problem of Muslims who had migrated to their country. First, people received the 'Punish a Muslim day' letters (Punish a Muslim Day, 2018), urging people not to remain indifferent to the actions of Muslims that infringe upon the European population and to take active steps, including killing, and to drive them out of the country. Then, in response to this propaganda, the 'Love a Muslim day' letters (Love a Muslim Day, 2018) were sent with opposing ideas.
R esearch Results and Discussion. Before proceeding to the lexical analysis, it is н а у ч н ы й р е з у л ь т а т . в о п р о с ы т е о р е т и ч е с к о й и п р и к л а д н о й л и н г в и с т и к и worth noting that the letters are identical in structure, use of fonts, arrangement of characters, as well as grammatical and syntactic structures. The main feature of the letters is their complete opposition, they contain a lot of opposition. Thus, a primary lexical analysis was conducted. The lexeme 'P unish' in the title of the letter is opposed to the lexeme 'Love'. The Cambridge Dictionary gives the following definitions: Punish -1 ) to make someone suffer because they have done something bad.

Love -1) to like someone very much and have romantic or sexual feelings for them; 2) to like a frie n d or a person in your fam ily very much; 3) to enjoy something very much or have a strong interest in something.
The letter begins with a description o f the activities of Muslims living among Europeans. The verb 'h u rt' is opposed by the verb 'love'. The Cambridge Dictionary suggests the following meaning: Hurt -1) to cause someone pain or to injure them; 2) I f a part o f your body hurts, it is painful; 3) to cause emotional pain to someone; 4) to have a harmful effect on something.
Then, the expression 'm ade you loved ones suffer' is contrasted with 'm ade you so m any carries and kebabs'. From the expressions we can single out the most emotionally colored words such as 'suffer' and 'carries and kebabs'. Then the negative word 'pain and h eartach e' is again contrasted with the word 'love'. Further, the text matches words in quotes in a figurative sense: the word 'sheep' in the sense of people who do not have the courage to express their opinions and stand out from the crowd, and the word 'n o rm al' in the meaning o f most people who have no opinion and act like everyone else. It may be noted that, despite the radically opposite ideas o f these letters, the words 'sheep' and 'no rm al' in the context o f these letters have similar meanings. These words can be distinguished as a "red rag" technique for the reader. After all, it is known that for the British it is of great importance to be special, standing out from the crowd. Thus, the appeal o f this kind attracts the reader and forces to delve into the essence of the problem.
Further, the text provides a number o f arguments for the benefit and for the harm that Muslims bring in immigrants. Among the arguments from the letter 'Punish a M uslim D ay', one can single out the following key phrases: to become democracies, to become harm, to turn democracies. Among the arguments from the letter 'Love a M uslim D ay', the following key phrases can be identified: to contribute billions o f pounds, thousands o f doctors, to contribute to our democracies. Obviously, in a return letter, there are more arguments about the benefits o f Muslim immigrants than in the first.
The letters resent the actions to be carried out in tables. Actions are ranked. The importance o f the action depends on the "rewards" that the performer will receive. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to conduct a lexical analysis due to the high degree o f syntactic integrity.
