Image of a Leader’s Linguistic Personality in Political Discourse
Keywords:
background knowledge, linguistic personality, political discourse, presupposition, speech acts
Abstract
The article offers a new approach to studying the language personality of a political leader in different linguistic cultures from the perspectives of political linguistic personology. The author characterizes genre and discursive realization of communicative traits of politicians’ linguistic personality; proves the influence of presupposition on the discursive status of politicians’ linguistic personality. Linguistic personality of a politician can be manifested as 1) individual personality (age, gender and status characteristics); 2) collective personality representing the ideas of stratum or nation; 3) generalized symbolic personality – stratum label of national ethnic community in the eyes of others; 4) virtual personality constructed by the institute of speechwriting. The latter has been highlighted in a detailed way in the article
