COGNITIVE ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL SPEECHES

Abstract

In the paper an attempt is made to study political texts from the point of view of their modelling within the framework of cognitive linguistics. The idea was put forward by T. van Dijk, who together with the study of context or the communicative event or communicative situation with its various constituents, put emphasis also on the study of cognitive properties of participants, such as opinions, beliefs, values, knowledge.These all taken together provide the formation of a general social model.
