discursive practices

The article deals with the problem of media displaying strategic narratives in the context of the domination of the antagonistic discourse in the relations between Russia and the West. The issue is becoming ever more urgent since the conflict component is being intensified on the global stage, which prompts the eagerness of a number of countries to impose their interpretation of what is happening as the only correct version, by means of promoting public agreement.

The article studies linguistic features of the political discourse of the immigration on the threshold of the general parliamentary elections in the UK in 2005 from the perspective of critical discourse analysis on the materials of the leading British printed press. The author distinguishes major discursive strategies, forming the discourse of the immigration, and the techniques of their implementation.
