| description | The article examines the mechanisms of organizing verbal constructs that manifest the
linguopragmatic structure of texts in modern Russian political communication. A special class of figurative means
of political language stands out – tropofigures. Tropofigures include irony and parcelling, which are characterized,
on the one hand, by formal-semantic ambivalence and, on the other hand, by an apparent idiostylistic touch. The
proposed methodological framework of the study aimed at the identification and systematic characterization of the
categorical features of these synergetic linguistic signs, facilitated the description of the ways of their exemplification
in political interactions. The authors established that the tropofigures of irony and parcelling ornamentally form the
antinomy of the identity / non-identity of the sign and the object (semasiological discrepancy between the logical
and grammatical organization of the syntagma). The tropofigures not only organize the expressive-pragmatic
center of political discursive practice but also fulfill the function of a verbal marker of the cognitive mechanisms of
text formation, which allow the participant to present their communicative goal setting in a certain way. The authors
emphasized that the tropofigures of irony and parcelling are transformed from means of enhancing expressiveness
into markers of the idiomental process and set a different social perception. The results of the linguistic rhetorical
research indicate new mechanisms of convergence / divergence of semantic constructs in various political
interactions and, as a result, linguocultural “reaccentuation” of sign-symbolic and axiological constituents of the
political institution in the modern Russian-speaking space. |
