MANIPULATIVE TACTICS IMPLEMENTATION IN POLITICAL DISCOURSE by Tatyana P. Paliy, Inna N. Poteryakhina

“…Results Having analyzed in detail the empirical material of the modern political discourse in Russian and English, the authors identify three main pragmatic manipulative strategies, for each of which they provide characteristic tactics, supporting them with examples of statements by outstanding Russian and foreign political figures of our time: the strategy of promotion (tactics aimed at forming a positive image, leveling the critical narrative, hidden presentation and presentation); the strategy of demotion (tactics aimed at forming a negative image, abuse and infringement, imputation of guilt and exposure); the strategy of neutrality (tactics with the potential for motivation, constructive joint activity and full awareness). The analysis of the empirical material also made it possible to identify the most frequently used linguistic means verbalizing the tactics listed above. …”
