Decoding reality and modeling an alternative factual field in media discourse

The object of the research is the mechanisms of decoding real reality, on the one hand, as well as the features of modeling alternative eventfulness of an interpretative nature, on the other hand, within the framework of media discourse. The subject of the study is the ways of constructing a new reality as a system of concepts, the means of their objectification at the pragmatic and linguistic levels within the political segment of media discourse, using the example of briefing materials by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, M.V. Zakharova. At the same time, special attention is paid at the level of pragmatics to identifying tactics and strategies, nominations of subjects participating in communication, and at the linguistic level proper – precedent phenomena, discursive words, the nature of syntagmatics, features of stylistic labeling of individual nominations and other resources that contribute to modeling not so much a new factual field as its conceptual model. In the study of the political segment of media discourse based on the material of a polycode text, the author relies on the principles of anthropological linguodidactics, including a communicative-activity approach, cognitive-discursive methods are also used to identify the features of modeling the worldview. The main conclusions of the conducted research are the establishment of the fact of perlocution, actionality of media discourse, its undeniable influence on modeling the global picture of the world and broadcasting the Russian model of globalization, as well as its influence on the recipient's consciousness. In addition, it should be noted the linguistic and didactic potential of the political segment of media discourse, especially when studying the Russian language by foreigners. The novelty and special contribution of the author to the study of the specifics of the interpretation of the event field within the framework of the political segment of media discourse is the identification of an additional component in the conceptual opposition of one's own and someone else's – another, which is positioned as a segment of acceptance of otherness, which plays a key role in creating the Russian model of globalization based on the principles of universal parity. Against this background, political discourse becomes a source of valuable information not only of an eventful, but also of a conceptual nature for both speakers of linguistic consciousness and foreign speakers.
