Abstract
The article studies the problem if content analysis is applicable to research information warfare, considered at several levels of information impact. The instrumental level is actualized at the lexical level and can be studied through critical discourse analysis based on quantitative and qualitative content analysis. The results confirm the applicability of the described approach and demonstrate the features of the “US-China trade war” discourse.
