ON LINGUISTIC RESEARCH OF ORDINARY POLITICAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

The paper considers ordinary political discourse as an actual and promising object of linguistic research. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the logic of the development of political linguistics towards the expansion of the spectrum of research objects, which allows scientists to pay attention to marginal, at first glance, manifestations of politics in the language and speech. Such a manifestation is the ordinary political discourse, that is, the speech works of ordinary people relating to politics as a special sphere of public consciousness: from unfolded amateur writings of naive-political content to Internet commentaries to publications on political topics and oral discussions about politics. A review of a number of modern works on ordinary political discourse allows to draw conclusions both about the formation of this object-subject area of political linguistics, and about its lack of study and significant development prospects. In particular, in the final part of the article, it is proposed to pay attention to personal commentary on news with the interpretation of events by video bloggers or audio podcasts speakers that do not have a special political science education, for example, designer Artemy Lebedev.
