MULTIMODAL MEANS OF BORIS JOHNSON’S REPRESENTATION AS A CHARISMATIC LEADER ON SOCIAL MEDIA by Larysa I. Taranenko, Mariia K. Boichenko

“…Boris Johnson’s charisma is confirmed by the survey conducted among British and Ukrainian respondents as well as by his subscribers’ reactions, comments and likes following his posts on social media.
