Стратегия принятия предложения в политическом дискурсе

Proposal Acceptance Strategy in Political Discourse

This study reviewed several previous studies related to political discourse, and among them, special attention was paid to the research of N. Fairclough and I. Fairclough. It has been argued that the acceptance strategy discourse has a distinctive argument structure as opposed to the general argument discourse. Putin's speech to the Russian Parliament was analyzed. In Putin's speech, it was found that in the discourse of acceptance strategy, the utterance motive, the proposition premise, and the proposition premise considerations can function as categories of arguments. Putin elaborated on the content of the proposal and at the same time suggested that the proposal was a practical and broad issue, stating that there was such a public opinion among citizens; however, Putin's speech emphasized that it is inappropriate to exclude the presidential term from the constitution without expressing his intention to accept the proposal directly; however, he expressed his opinion on the argument that would allow the incumbent to run for the next presidential election. He presented 1) substantive premises that the current Russian constitutional system is weak and there is an active debate about the presidential system; 2) the value premise that the amendment bill would strengthen our sovereignty, traditions and values; 3) alternatives that the parliamentary cabinet system not suitable for the current stage. This series of structures of argumentation has been seen to emphasize that Tereshkova's proposal is significant. In this study, a discourse strategy that reinforces the validity of a proposal without explicitly making a claim was named unrevealed statements. This strategy was considered to have the advantage of maximizing the effect of the utterance, providing only a persuasive argument without compromising the speaker's image in any way.
