The phenomenon of language manipulation in foreign policy discourse: a linguosynergistic perspective

Abstract

Today, the word «manipulation» has acquired an additional, more negative connotation, which means «get your hands on», «lasso», «catch on a mistake» and the like, which aim to turn a person into his own tool for achieving goals [3, p. 9]. The close connections of linguistic synergetics with other disciplines make it possible to consider language problems in an interdisciplinary approach, which, in turn, contributes to the formation of a synergistic vision of a linguist, deep immersion in the subject of scientific research and the achievement of an effective and holistic result. Language influence as a complex psycholinguistic process is an interdisciplinary problem. In addition, despite the accumulated theoretical and practical knowledge, this phenomenon is still not fully studied, which determines the relevance of our research. The purpose of the study is to highlight the phenomenon of language manipulation in foreign policy discourse in a linguosynergistic context.
