Лингвистическое направление исследований международной политики: "Лингвистика международных политических отношений: теория и практика"

Abstract

The article presents a review of the monograph of Sun Ji-sheng et al. "Linguistics of International Political Relations: Theory and Practice" (Beijing, World Affairs Press Publishers, 2017. 584 pp.). The author of the monograph presents the description of linguistics of international relations as a new interdisciplinary field of scientific knowledge. The book under review is an academic study focusing on such aspects of the international political discourse as speech habits, narrative, intertextuality, interlingual equivalents, discursive strategies, conflict discourse, and strategies of teaching a foreign language. The monograph consists of introduction and twelve chapters. They deal with such urgent issues as manipulative discourse, securing of and support for hegemony via discursive means, creating identity on the international arena by discursive practices, hermeneutic aspects of interpretation of political speeches, influence of the language upon dissemination of international political norms, questions of political translation, management of the Internet sphere, and security hazards related to social opinion manipulation via spreading information across the Internet. Political linguistics generally treats language as a means of getting social dominance by some person or persons.

В статье представлена рецензия на монографию, в которой автор предлагает описание лингвистики международных политических отношений как новой междисциплинарной области научного знания.
