EXPRESSIVE MEANS OF RELIGIOUS DISCOURSE IN ANTI-RELIGIOUS AND PROTESTANT PERIODICALS OF THE SOVIET PERIOD

Abstract

The article is a fragment of a comparative linguistic analysis of anti-religious and protestant periodicals of the Soviet period. The analysis of these materials has been carried out at three levels: morphological, lexical-semantic, and syntactic. The research material is based on the articles related to activities of unregistered fraternities in the Perm and Sverdlovsk regions in the 1980s. It should be noted that this period was characterized by serious persecution of various religious cults, which predetermined the nature of the interaction. The author reveals the use of a wide range of expressive means to provide a psychological impact on the addressee.
