https://doi.org/10.69975/2074-0832-2024-61-3-44-57
Abstract
The article is a content analysis of texts from the magazine “Soviet Screen” dedicated to foreign cinema in the period from 1925 to 1991 inclusive. When presenting the results of content analysis of texts, the study authors used specific units of counting. They became the following semantic units: frequency of publications related to such genres as film reviews, surveys, analytical articles, articles on the history of cinema, creative portraits of filmmakers, interviews; the percentage of analyzed messages, that is, texts about Western cinema in relation to the total text array of a given publication. The counting procedure complied with standard methods of classification into selected groups using the compilation of special tables (including units of analysis and counting, frequency of use).
