Abstract
a comparative analysis of two texts recounting the 2014 Crimean Referendum following the Russian Annexation has been conducted through a systemic-functional paradigm in order to examine linguistic features that have been employed to convey bias or impartiality. These texts have been analyzed taking into account M. Halliday's theory, which states that semantics of the text is inextricably linked with grammar, as meanings are realized in language through formulations [6]. In order to trace the meaning of a text, discursive grammar must be both functional and semantic, i.e. grammatical categories must be interpreted as expressions of semantic models. Field, Tenor and Mode are defined as three aspects of the context that influence ideational meaning, interpersonal meaning, and textual meaning respectively. In the given article ideational and textual meanings are examined.
