FUNCTIONAL AND PRAGMATIC SPACE OF POLITICAL INTERNET COMMUNICATION

Abstract

The article analyzes functional and pragmatic peculiarities of a special type of political discourse actualized at Internet platforms. With the reference to functional analysis of the phenomenon under consideration within the framework of communicative-pragmatic approach, the author concludes a special form of borderline character, existential kind, personality-oriented type of communication under conditions of universal rules of political discourse construction. The field of producer's activity and the peculiar features of communication channel, which in line with distance and impersonality of the utterance express complete subjectivity and presence effect, serve the base to specify this type of communication. The study reveals the main positions of counter-communicants relevant for the potential of perlocution effect actualization. Suggestivity along with communicativity are supposed to be considered the key features of functional and pragmatic potential of political Internet discourse as the influence, manipulation and information translation foster actualization of conceptual-valency system in political Internet communication. The article speciies functional and pragmatic space of political Internet discourse, which is based on actualization of the following functions:1) information-factological, 2) analytical-interpretative, 3) attractive, 4) manipulative-phatic, 5) expressive-evaluative. Due to realization of these functions, the informative, analytical, expressive and evaluative modes play the key roles in this type of discourse.
