Discursive analysis of political discourse

Abstract

Discourse is defined as a process of real-life communication in which systemic linguistic qualities, degree of spontaneity and completeness, thematic coherence, and clarity for other people play a significant role. It's hard to overlook the fact that human communication is always influenced by the communicants' positions. It is critical that they belong to a social group and speak in a normal manner. Discourse takes into account and reflects the specific circumstances in which and for which it was created: 1) the author's communicative intents; 2) the author's relationship with the addressees; 3) various "important" and "insignificant" conditions; 4) the ideology and stylistic climate of an era in general, the concrete environment, and specific individuals to whom the message is addressed; 5) the genre and stylistic features of the message and communicative situation; 6) associations with previous experience that brought the speech act into orbit (Karasik, 2002). These characteristics and situations, as well as supporting statements and their combination with the appropriate linguistic tools, are used to assign certain categories of discourse.
