    War – Writer – Text: Discursive Features (on the Material of Oksana Zabuzhko's Essays)
    (2023) Kuranova, Svitlana
    The article is dedicated to a complex analysis of the "war texts". Discursive features of the triad "war – author – text" are proposed to be researched through the prism of the holistic linguistic act of communication. Discourse analysis of "war texts" is carried out on the material of works of Oksana Zabuzhko, namely, the collection of essays "And Again I Crawl into the Tank" and "The Longest Journey". The way the topic of the Russian-Ukrainian war is understood and interpreted in the public intellectual discourse is investigated. Such research gives a possibility to acquire data on how the author presents her/his own activity-in-theworld and transfers her/his attitude to the events described. It is reiterated that the topic of the Russian-Ukrainian war can be researched within the boundaries of development of the discourse portrait of language personality, as the author’s texts are the information tracks of public discourse. Models of "war texts" of Oksana Zabuzhko are characterized with the help of three types of meaning: experiential (thematic sphere of communication), interpersonal (meaning of social roles), and textual (characterizes the channel of communication). The sense structure of the corresponding respective texts was scrutinized. That helped to acquire new data about their semiotic models.

    "We are not going back" vs "Make America great again." The discourse of 2024 US presidential campaign
    (2025) Kuranova, Svitlana; Zernetskyi, Pavlo
    The article is devoted to the discourse picture of the 2024 presidential campaign in the USA. The research was conducted within the framework of the "discourse – cognition – society" triangle. It is based primarily on three key principles of discourse analysis: sequentiality, constructivity, and strategies. A communicative-cognitive model of discourse analysis is proposed, which focuses mainly on the narrative structure of discourse as a macro-speech event. From this perspective, the discourse of the 2024 presidential campaign in the USA is examined as a cycle of stories united by a common "storyline." These stories are linked through several recurring sentences, among which several key ones are identified. The main strategies for shaping public opinion and the means of linguistic influence employed by Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are examined and described. The analysis centers on the speech activity of the presidential candidates and its semantic structure. Four levels of organization within the semantic structure of the presidential campaign discourse are investigated: general communicative intention, thinking stereotypes, strategies, and the tactics and methods of influencing the addressee. Common and distinctive features in the construction of narratives and strategies by the participants in the election campaign are characterized and identified. Studies of this kind offer new approaches to the application of discourse analysis in political linguistics and may be useful in exploring the mechanisms of public opinion formation and influence on audiences.
