SPEECH MANIPULATION AS ONE OF THE PROPERTIES OF MODERN POLITICAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

The article deals with the study of the language persuasive basic means of contemporary Russian political discourse. In addition, the most active manipulative strategies of political discourse are considered. The research is based on the principles of discursive analysis, which involves analysis of speech resources in the context of a wide non-linguistic context. In addition, linguistic methods are used: contextual, component, syntax, word-building analysis. It is expedient to take as a basis the system-level characteristic of linguistic means while systematizing the language persuasive means of political discourse, according to which the following groups can be distinguished: lexico-phraseological means, grammatical means (morphological, syntactic). The description should be made by tying the units under study, on the one hand, to a broad non-linguistic context, on the other hand to language persuasive strategies, to which a unit is involved. The main strategies are implication, reduction, contact with the addressee, distancing from the expressed opinion. The novelty of the study is to determine the linguistic status of language persuasive means, to identify the principle of their research and to develop a mechanism for their description.
