The pragmatic aspects of english euphemisms and dysphemism's of the social media political discourse

Abstract

The article aims to gain insight into the pragmatics and algorithms of the useof English euphemisms and dysphemisms in political discourse and promulgated in social media. The research methods are based on the socially-oriented approach to the analysis of discourse, politeness theory, and principles of linguistic pragmatics; the consideration of theoretical aspects involves the use of inductive and deductive methods; the use of semantic-stylistic and semantic-component methods of analysis allows to establish the semantic components of euphemisms and dysphemisms.
