Abstract

In media-political discourse, the implementation of certain tactics and techniques of realizing manipulation from the stylistic aspect of the language is important for consideration. Nowadays, there are lots of social media platforms where people can get information from, and in all senses, the same event, specifically political, happens to be illustrated differently by journalists to hold the interest of the reader depending on their intention. Those tactics and techniques can be used to make speech richer, more impressive and powerful in nature. At the same time, those devices are used to manipulate the crowd and gain as many supporters as possible by persuading to follow them and gain more click baits.
In this paper, our object of investigation is the analysis of media articles through the linguo-stylistic method of analysis, via which, we will be able to detect those expressive means and stylistic devices that can be manipulative in the context of the articles.
