“…There are semantic presuppositions (relations of semantic consequence), pragmatic presuppositions (knowledge of what will be appropriate in a given communication), and logical presuppositions (knowledge of logical conclusion operations). Researchers of modern public media discourse express the opinion that semantic presuppositions are the most common method of language manipulation (Issers, 2009;Larionova, 2013;Soskina, Sur, 2013), since they are addressed to the unconscious. The process of persuasion is more concerned with the pragmatic and logical presuppositions.…”

The article deals with the types of speech influence, their usage in modern media discourse and the problem of social distrust caused by manipulative technologies. In the author's opinion, fearful public mood is the product of anti-rhetorical activity associated with the lack of public awareness of the main type of speech influence -persuasion, in which argumentation is addressed to critical analysis. Emphasis is put on the prospects of rhetoric that has always considered not only the text but the speech situation and cognitions as well. Rhetoric has always been discursive and it was the first science to observe the language with respect to speech influence. Integrative character of rhetoric was the reason why various sciences explored rhetorical heritage that later became their integral part. At the same time, rhetoric itself was not virtually being developed and at this stage of speech development, when investigating speech influence, it is necessary to combine different aspects, rhetorical and cognitivediscursive in particular. Consideration is taken of cognitive-rhetorical arguments, namely, presuppositional fund of communicants. A more profound assessment of a perceiving party can be done by using the methods of cognitive linguistics that studies the relation between the structure of cognition and language units. With that in mind, for argumentation to be successful it is necessary to study the system of adressee's presuppositions and thereafter construct a dialogue with him involving the arguments most suitable in each specific case. Making logical connections more open and using rhetorical presuppositional fund make it possible for the communicant to persuade the opponent and to disclose his dishonest moves.

“…Manipulative communication strategy is interpreted, within the framework of political communication, as the power that is forcibly exercised over the addressee (Issers, 2011). Its clarifying features include: 1) secrecy, 2) targeted guidance to arouse human intentions that do not meet his or her wishes, 3) creating the illusion of independence, and 4) the benefits of manipulation for its subject (Baikov, 1988).…”

The article focuses on the investigation of such linguistic phenomenon as multimodality, namely its linguistic and extralinguistic features in TED Talks. TED Talks is a conference where influential people speak to the audience about important issues that need to be addressed in our society. Speakers of the conference perform a role of ideators who are trying to get their ideas across to the people in the audience. To fulfill their objectives, they resort to different techniques implementing all kind of linguistic and extralinguistic means in their strategies of drawing public attention. To realizing a full potential of a performance on stage, speaker needs to be fully prepared, which means making a presentation, a speech and thinking about their actions on stage in advance. Duration of a TED Talk usually varies from 10 to 15 minutes, which is motivated by people's generally short attention span. The article is based on D. M. Kaysina's classification of rhetorical strategies that are realized in TED Talks. This classification helps us understand the basics of linguistic means which play a large part in forming a communicative intention. As well as how different parts of the sentence can be combined to create the synergy needed. Understanding the principles play a key role in oral presentation and helps us better understand how language works.

“…Lexicographic practice has reached a new level and is becoming more anthropocentric and sociocentric. Lexicography functions within the framework of lexicographic discourse, which is interpreted as a discursive practice, as Issers (2015) puts it, "the dynamic organization of those communication systems within society, which, on the one hand, reflects the speech behavior and thinking mode of a social community, and on the other hand, it creates new forms of communication in a given socio-cultural reality" (Issers 2015: 65). In the case of considering lexicographic discourse as a discursive practice, it is possible to "refer to the sociocultural, cognitive, communicative and pragmatic features of the dictionary" (Plotnikova 2014: 23).…”

An explanatory combinatorial dictionary of English conflict lexis: A case study of modern political discourse

Though political discourse is in the mainstream of modern studies, scholars haven’t so far paid much attention to compiling political discourse-oriented dictionaries. The need to further develop lexicographic theory and practice for specific purposes and advance new methods to dictionary making is a challenge that linguists are facing today. The aim of the case study is twofold: to work out the principles for making an Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary (ECD) of English political conflict lexis and the microstructure of an ECD entry. The source of the data is the NOW corpus; the material is current American political discourse (2022). The ECD is generally consistent with Mel'čuk’s Meaning-Text theory (MTT). The authors describe a process of collecting and processing the data: corpus search and analysis, automatic and manual text processing, glossary compilation with the use of lexicographic, semasiological, and etymological methods and present an example of an ECD entry consisting of semantic, phonological, and cooccurrence zones. The findings prove that the use of electronic text corpora offers an effective way for compiling a specialized discourse-based dictionary. The research illustrates the validity of MTT: though based on the data of “language in context” , the dictionary is synthesis-oriented: it aims at speech production. The paper is the first result of a bigger project sketching the overall framework of the discursive ECD of political conflict lexis, which subsequent studies will hopefully develop with more precision and detail. The dictionary will be helpful for scholars in linguistics, discourse analysis, media and communication, political science, and conflict studies.
