Abstract

The article examines the communicative strategies and communicative tactics of political discourse based on the material of public speeches by Abish Kekilbayev during the meeting of the commission "A" of the Geneva ОSCE Meeting on National Minorities in June 1991, at the closing of the II session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the XIII convocation on December 27, 1994, as well as an interview given to journalist V. Paramonov and published in the magazine "Thought", No. 12 in 1994 under the title "This hard parliamentary bread". The article provides a brief overview of the research of Kazakh and foreign linguists in the field of the study of discourse, political discourse, communicative strategies and tactics, as well as their various classifications. Political discourse is considered in its broadest sense as a discourse in which any speech formations, subject, addressee or their content belong to the sphere of politics, according to the definition of E.A. Sheigal. Communicative strategies are understood as a set of verbal and nonverbal actions aimed at achieving communicative goals, and communicative tactics are one or more actions that contribute to the implementation of the strategy (according to O.S. Issers). The analysis of communicative strategies and communicative tactics demonstrates the possibility of using this approach in the study of political discourse, as it allows to identify both explicit and implicit intentions of the author.
