Парламентский дискурс на страницах региональной периодики как детерминанта формирования общественного сознания в России начала XX века

Abstract

The relevance of the study of problems relating to the organization and activities of representative bodies in democratic States is not diminished. The media play an important role in increasing public confidence in Parliament and in parliamentarians, and their activities are a determining factor in shaping the image of the legislature in the public consciousness. In the context of the forthcoming elections of deputies to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in 2021, the experience of the media in covering the work of the Russian Parliament, including the experience gained during the years of activity of the State Duma of the Russian Empire, is of particular interest. The subject of the study is the parliamentary discourse on the pages of the periodical press of the Urals, which is a determinant of the formation of public consciousness during the years of the convening and activity of the State Duma of the Russian Empire. The methodology of the study is determined taking into account the concept of T. A. van Dyke on the processing of language in the context of social factors. Understanding the discourse as a text interpreted by the author in accordance with his political position in a specific communicative situation, the authors made an attempt to analyse the texts placed on the pages of the periodicals of the largest region of Russia - the Urals, concerning the convening of the State Duma of the Russian Empire and the practice of the Russian parliament in 1906-1917. Parliamentary discourse is a manifestation of political communication and communication between political actors, including the population of the Russian Empire, who received electoral rights in 1905.
 The cognitive model for analyzing parliamentary discourse takes into account the identity of the transmitting entity (addressee), the message itself, the receiving entity (addressee). An analysis of parliamentary discourse provides an opportunity to identify a mechanism for influencing the public’s perception of the rule of law, the appointment and the effectiveness of parliamentary action.
