Abstract

Various speech constructions used in political discourse have repeatedly become the object of research in the framework of such sciences as linguistics, psychology, political science, etc. But modern linguists note that at this stage the problem of the lack of a unified universal classification of speech manipulative units is still relevant and there is no clearly defined terminology of speech strategies, tactics, techniques used for manipulation in various communicative situations. In this light, the authors of the following study set the goal: to identify scientific approaches to defining the notion of “speech manipulation”. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the authors carried out work to collect definitions of the phenomenon of “linguistic manipulation” in various fields of science, made a distinction between the definitions of “linguistic manipulation”, “persuasion”, “suggestion”, “informative influence”, “phatic influence”, “ linguistic demagogy”. As a result, when studying the problem in an interdisciplinary manner and in the works of both domestic and foreign authors, a difference is revealed in approaches to the definition of the term; the most complete definition of the phenomenon under study is revealed; a distinction is made between the term “speech manipulation” and terms that occur in related meanings or meanings close to manipulation.
