The paper analyzes discursive practices used by Czech journalists on their Twitter accounts declared as private and their various (professional and non-professional) identities presented there. It follows from the material analyzed that despite declaring their accounts as private the journalists often use them to spread mass media content and refer to themselves as journalists. The most important discursive practices typical of social media communication are – according to the presented research – implicit comments in tweets which are not intelligible without recipients’ sharing of the author’s knowledge and/or attitudes. The analyzed accounts are of a hybrid nature in its essence: the identities and practices typical of mass media communication and the ones characteristic of social media communication are intermixed both in stable parts of an account (e.g. bio refers to one’s professional identity and background image to his/her hobby) and in individual tweets (e.g. a journalist reproduces a mass media text and at the same time comments it just by an emoji). Having analyzed above mentioned identities and discursive practices, the authors investigate how journalists reflect on their own activities on Twitter and how they argue for the private status of their accounts in interactions with other Twitter users.

Discourses concerning language have ideological aspects in both scholarly and everyday contexts. In the present contribution, I use data from the past two decades to examine language ideologies as they are communicated explicitly or conveyed implicitly in meta-linguistic discourse on Hungarian medical language management. Besides drawing attention to language ideologies, the paper also aims to offer suggestions for making medical language management more efficient. The material for the present study comes from approximately 80 articles published in Magyar Orvosi Nyelv [Hungarian Medical Language], between 2001 and 2017. The analysis mainly consists in identifying the most conspicuous language ideologies that are at work in the texts under investigation, using a pre-existing inventory of language ideologies. The results show that language ideologies prevailing in the analyzed articles are usually not based on actual language usage, but rather, on structuralist considerations as well as various language ideologies which uphold the authority of the standard (e.g. linguistic elitism, conservativism, purism), while the domain of language use and the layered nature of medical language are overlooked.
