Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the verbalization of two concepts important for different genres of political discourse: the concepts of “freedom” and “justice”. The study was prepared on the basis of a relatively new genre for Russian presidential discourse, which is the Presidential address to the Federal Assembly. The lexical material was taken from all the addresses delivered by President W.W. Putin (2000–2007, 2012–2016, 2018–2020). The descriptive method and the contextual method were used during the analysis. The analysis showed that the verbalizations of these concepts are not numerous; they are also quite general. The main emphasis in the case of the concept of “freedom” was placed on the economy, and in the case of the concept of “justice” on the social sphere.
