Abstract

Abstract: The article considers cases of using approximate names of objects and their attributes in political discourse as a part of the speaker's communicative strategy, specifies the corpus of approximators which actualize the meaning of "approximate, fuzzy" in the studied type of discourse. The study is based and illustrated by the extracts from transcripts of public speeches of modern politicians, articles published in British and American press and the political play "Stuff Happens" by David Hare.
