The article presents an attempt to analyze the argumentative constants and variations in the analytical genre of a political media discourse from the point of view of focusing on the formation of different opinions of the audience. This task is solved by using the concept of strategic maneuvering. This concept contains a theoretical tool that allows you to identify violations of dialectical standards of argumentation in the form of rhetorical goals in the author's reasoning. Using the method of random selection, a corpus of examples was formed as fragments of speeches of political leaders. Examples were taken from the website of the Munich Security Conference 2016-2020. An evaluative-critical analysis of theoretical literature has revealed the main characteristics of the political media discourse. It was found that this social practice presupposes an argumentative way of organizing a discourse. The article states that any forms of the analytical genre of the political media discourse presuppose a certain standard of rationality in terms of its logical presentation and the quality of arguments. Using the method of pragma-dialectical reconstruction of the text, the authors illustrate the rational goal of argumentation realized by the speaker. However, the specificity of the genre inevitably leads to the desire of the addressees to present arguments in their favor. This is manifested in the rhetorical analogue of the logical dimension of the text-reasoning. It is concluded that the norm and violations in argumentation show how the language system functions in the formation of vectors of audience attitude.

The article represents the description of ideal cognitive model of LIGHT/DARK archetypical binary opposition, metaphorically represented in the modern American political media discourse. Classific cognitive features and frames, constituting the mental spaces of the dichotomy under consideration are identified and described.

This article exposes manipulative technologies of the political media discourse of the Russian Internet resource sputniknews.com for September 2016, represented by English-language political media texts about events in Ukraine. Within the framework of the political media text, its producer implements manipulative technologies via two opposed in content communicative strategies – positive self-presentation and positioning of an ideological opponent, embodied in a number of communicative tactics. The covert (manipulative) distortion of reality exercised by the text producer makes it possible to exert a manipulative impact on the public consciousness with the aim to form or change the outlook.

С целью исследования языка и стиля политических медиатекстов рассматриваются приемы реализации интенции убеждения, которая выступает в качестве одного из наиболее важных коммуникативных факторов современного медиадискурса. Эффективность применения интенционального метода обусловлена тем, что он позволяет описать не только лингвостилистические, но и лингвопрагматические особенности продуктов медиадискурса, возникающие в результате взаимодействия массмедиа с политической сферой общества. В результате исследования установлено, что политические тексты массмедиа отличаются повышенной метафоричностью и повышенной эмоциональностью, обусловленной прагматической ориентацией на суггестивное воздействие, которое во многом продиктовано коммуникативными намерениями авторов. We consider the methods of implementing the intent of persuasion, which acts as one of the most important communicative factors of modern media discourse in order to study the language and the style of political media texts. The effectiveness of the intentional method is due to the fact that it allows us to describe not only the linguistic-stylistic, but also the linguistic-pragmatic features of the media discourse products that arise as a result of the interaction of the mass media with the political sphere of society. As a result of the study, it was found that the political texts of the mass media are characterized by increased metaphoricity and increased emotionality, due to the pragmatic orientation to the suggestive effect largely dictated by the communicative intentions of the authors.

The article considers the axiological function of collocations in the political media texts of the Russian, Greek and British media discourse based on the text of the statement of the President of Russia V.V. Putin in connection with the US unilateral withdrawal from the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles. The analysis of collocations by selected groups of universal values is carried out. A comparative analysis of the collocations used in the texts in Russian, Greek and English, expressing each of the above-mentioned universal human value categories, revealed the axiological components of the national mentality, the impact on which can be used to manipulate public consciousness through media texts.

В статье рассматривается вопрос о формировании политической когниции в политическом тексте жанра «декларация», являющейся структурным элементом медиадискурса. Систематизация результатов изучения принципов формирования политической когниции в Декларации независимости США (The Declaration of Independence) и англоязычном варианте Декларации о создании Шанхайской Организации Сотрудничества (The Declarationon the Establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization) осуществляется на основе сравнительно-сопоставительного метода и методики графических систематизаторов Д. Халперна. В свою очередь, особую значимость при формировании и организации коммуникационного процесса приобретает лингвистический знак в сообщении и информационном потоке, что говорит о масштабности жизни социального субъекта, знаний о реальной действительности. Именно языковые навыки позволяют формировать настоящую политическую когницию. В результате мы наблюдаем, что политический медиадискурс позволяет проследить, выявить политическую когницию как некую модель, которую участники политического процесса конструируют в своей памяти для того, чтобы понять истинное значение и важность информации. В результате анализа установлено, что в качестве исходных правил формирования политической когниции выступают правила размещения лингвистического знака в информационном потоке. Положение знака в информационном пространстве - пространстве сообщительности - влияет на конструирование социальной реальности в определенный исторический период. The article deals with the formation of the political cognition in the political text of the «declaration» genre, which is the structural element of the media discourse. The systematization of the results of studying the principles of the formation of the political cognition in The Declaration of Independence and the English version of The Declaration on the Establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is carried out on the basis of the comparative methodology and D. Halpern’s graphic systematizers. In its turn, the linguistic sign in the message and information flow becomes particularly important in the formation and organization of the communication process, which indicates the scale of the social subject’s life, awareness of the current situation. It is language skills that allow us to form a real political cognition. As a result, we observe that political media discourse allows us to trace political cognition as a model that participants in the political process construct in their memory in order to understand the true meaning and importance of information. The analysis revealed that the initial rules for the formation of the political cognition are the rules for placing a linguistic sign in the information flow. The position of the sign in the information space - the space of communicativeness - affects the construction of social reality in a specific historical period.
