Abstract

Background: The concept of discourse as a complex communicative phenomenon dominates in various fields of modern linguistics. Nowadays, the problem of political discourse that is intensively gaining its priority in the life of society and even manifests itself in fiction is important.

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to analyze regulativity as a special influence in political discourse in fiction.

Results: Regulativity is a subcategory of the category of influence and actively manifests itself in political discourse in fiction. The regulativity tools facilitate correct interpretation of political images by stimulating the language and thought activity of the reader and becoming the basis for future modeling of concepts. Regulativity means are always explicit and represented in the analyzed texts of fiction in sociopolitical vocabulary, dysphemisms, metaphor, and antithesis.

Sociopolitical vocabulary verbalizes sociopolitical realities in the political discourse in fiction. This vocabulary most often nominates phenomena and facts of the national-state and national-territorial system, state transformations, foreign policy and diplomatic practice, and social movements throughout the country. The presence of dysphemisms in the literary text indicates the process of language aggression in all spheres of human life. Sociopolitical metaphors are perhaps the most powerful resource in shaping public opinion. Antithesis as a simple way of expressing contradictions shows a high degree of suggestibility.

Discussion: The category of influence in political discourse in fiction requires a more detailed study of the writer-addressee’s communicative strategies represented by regulativity means.

Keywords: discourse, political discourse in fiction, category of influence, regulativity, regulativity means of political discourse in fiction.
