Politics and Political Discourse: Political and Communicative Aspects

   The article is devoted to the analysis of the role and influence of individual political events on the communicative behavior of politicians. Georgian-language political texts reflect the most significant external and internal political events. The communicative means used by speakers are a form of representation of reality through language and an effective means that contributes to the formation of the "necessary" picture of the world to the addressee, which has the strongest pragmatic effect, since they combine pragmatic, cognitive and linguistic knowledge in relation to politics, culture, ideology and history. Often the recipient understands and accepts reality through the prism of the information presented to the audience, as well as through established stereotypes, images, prototypes. Modern political activity does not exist without the use of language, which implies a certain pragmatic goal, and one of the most interesting topics for scientists in the field of political communication is the analysis of political discourse during periods of significant political events at both the local and interstate levels. The linguistic means implemented in political discourse can be considered as one of the ways to creatively position the ideas and postulates of the ruling elites. The use of diverse communicative ways of influencing the audience is characteristic of modern political discourse in many languages. In this article, we have attempted to illustrate the main trends of their use in political discourse, which is characteristic of Georgian politicians in the political segment of "foreign relations with Russia". The choice of texts of the political discourse of modern Georgia is explained by the fact that today there are a limited number of works related to the study of Georgian-language political texts within the framework of political linguistics. When writing this article, the author studied exclusively original materials in the Georgian language. We believe that the materials reflected in this work may be interesting and useful to linguists, cartwellologists and specialists in the field of intercultural and political communication.
