Коммуникативная личность современного британского политика: (по материалам парламентских выступлений Дэвида Кэмерона и Бориса Джонсона)

Abstract

В статье рассматриваются типы коммуникативного поведения политика в зависимости от конкретной коммуникативной ситуации на основании анализа лексических средств.

In In recent years linguopoltical studies have focused primarily on political communication behaviour. This article seeks to systematize typological studies as applied to political personality characteristics research and to analyse types of communicative behaviours of political leaders by describing communicative context and language means that politicians use in their speech. Communicative context is viewed as the cornerstone in the analysis of the “roles” that politicians pragmatically choose in delivering their opinion to the public. A quantitative analysis of David Cameron's and Boris Jonson's communications has been verified through the words count technique available via a web-based corpus linguistics software Sketch Engine.
