Abstract
The article reviews discrediting strategies and tactics in the socio-political media discourse of the Republic of Korea. The research is aimed at identifying the linguistic means and pragmatic mechanisms through which the media form a negative image of political opponents, influencing the audience. The texts of news articles of the leading news publications of South Korea: ‘Chosun Ilbo’, ‘Chung Ang Ilbo’, ‘Dong-A Ilbo’ and the news agency ‘Yonhap’ are used as material. The analysis is conducted within the framework of the linguopragmatic approach, which allows to consider discourse as a purposeful social action. The revealed tactics of discrediting demonstrate a high degree of conflict in socio-political media discourse.
