The evolution of the semantics of biblicalisms in the Internet discourse of the modern Russian language is a relevant topic for study. Social networks have become one of the main channels for the dissemination and transformation of cultural codes, including biblicalisms.
These stable expressions, borrowed from biblical texts, penetrate into the modern Russian language, acquire new meanings and interpretations. The study of their evolution in Internet discourse allows us to better understand how language changes, what cultural and social factors influence this process, as well as what new meanings and functions biblicalisms acquire in the Internet environment [1, p. 37].
Telegram can act as a tool for rapid dissemination of information, forms a special information space where texts of biblical origin acquire new forms and meanings. This platform promotes the wide dissemination of biblical texts in modern
interpretations and their in-depth analysis, discussion in various communities. In particular, the changing vocabulary, styles and contexts of use of biblical quotations and allusions under the influence of modern digital communication challenges philologists to rethink traditional approaches to biblical studies.
We can analyse the influence of social media on the systematics of biblicalism by paying attention to the ways in which biblical texts are adapted to the peculiarities of digital speech and visual culture. For example, Orthodox telegram channels use simplified or reinterpreted biblical quotations and allusions that are aimed at achieving specific communicative goals, such as influencing the emotions of the audience, forming a community of opinions, or creating a special atmosphere in the community. These changes in the use of biblical elements require from researchers a deep understanding of the text itself and the mechanisms of its functioning in today's digital environment [2, p. 45]. For example, the phrase 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone at me' can be twisted in the context of discussing everyday disputes or even political discussions, thus giving it a new meaning and expanding the context of its use. Using biblical allusions to build communities. In some Telegram channels and groups, biblical stories and characters are used to create community among users. For example, the story of David and Goliath can be used to motivate community members to confront large and seemingly invincible problems. This promotes not only the exchange of opinions and interpretations, but also the strengthening of bonds within the group [3, p. 36].
Adaptation of biblical language to modern communication trends. In publications and discussions in Telegram, the use of modern slang and Internet jargon in combination with biblical texts is not uncommon. This leads to the creation of a unique style of communication, where ancient texts are perceived through the prism of modernity. For example, phrases like 'Be light' can take on new forms in the context of discussing technological innovations or social changes [4, p. 89].
Interactive study of biblical texts. With the help of Telegram channels and bots, interactive Bible study platforms are being created where users can not only read texts, but also participate in their analysis, discussion and interpretation. This allows to dive
deeper into the study of biblical stories and find new meanings in them that are relevant to modern life [5, p. 56]. Here are a couple of such Orthodox channels.
Telegram channel 'I am Young' presents a wide range of resources that cover many aspects of Christian life, including Bible stories for children, Bible reviews, Bible applications and portals. The channel offers a variety of content, from in-depth theological reflections to Bible quotes and motivational materials. The Bible Facts channel is dedicated to publishing interesting and positive facts related to the Bible, including engaging archaeology, good deeds, inspirational stories and actions, demonstrating a unique way of engaging with biblical material in today's digital environment. The project aims to enrich audiences' knowledge of the Bible by presenting facts and stories that may not be known to the general public, thereby deepening their understanding of the biblical texts.
The integration of ancient texts into digital format opens new horizons for their analysis and interpretation, as well as for teaching and training in Christian values among young people. There has been a significant enrichment of the methodological toolkit of philology through the inclusion of digital resources and social media, which allows not only to adapt the content of biblical texts to the needs of modern readers, but also to form new approaches to their study.
