Abstract: The article is devoted to the theoretical and practical interpretation of definitions 'media text' and 'media discourse'. Within the framework of this research, media text is viewed from the point of view of media linguistics. Konovalova clarifies the definition of media text based on Teun Adrianus van Dijk's interpretation taking into account modern approaches thereto. The aim of the research is to analyze features of media text and media discourse in classical and contemporary concepts. The object of the research is media discourse, the subject of the research is media text as a static cut of it that enables the analysis of verbal components and discursive featurse of a media speech work. In her article Konovalova provides an example of the analysis of a media text where she analyses linguistic means used to represent discursive features of media texts. The research methods include observation, analysis of media text parameters based on T. Dobroskkonsky, elements of the discourse analysis of the formal content and contextual cognitive levels of media discourse. The novelty of the present research is caused by the fact that the author provides the theoretical substantiation of the interpretation of news media text as a static 'cut' of media discourse as well as carries out a practical study of the language means of representing its formal content and contextual cognitive levels. The main results of the research is the description of the language means, and their classification depending on the levels and features of media discourse.

Abstract: The purpose of the article is to consider evocation in a media discourse and to study the realization of the evocative property in media texts of news note and polemic conversation genres. The object of the research is the media discourse, in particular, evocative property of which is studied on the example of media texts. The subject of the research is the media texts that are considered as its static cut and demonstrate the practical implementation of the evocative properties. The findings of the study can be useful in theoretical works on medialinguistics, language theory, discursive linguistics as well as those who are engaged in the practical writing of media texts of various subjects and genres. The methodology of the study is a layered combination of elements of discourse analysis and contextual analysis. The scope of application of research results covers the field of media research. The universality of the research findings is based on the study of the evocative properties of a media discourse based on the general characteristics inherent in media communication in general. The novelty of the research lies in the study of the evocative properties of a media discourse, which is first carried out on the material of media texts. A special contribution of the author to the development of this topic is the original study of evocation as a property of a media discourse using elements of discourse analysis and context analysis. The conclusions made by the author are as follows: the evocative property of a media discourse is manifested primarily through the subject-subject communication, the mass nature of the media text, which has a primary and secondary form of event representation. This circumstance also makes it possible to interpret the media text as the static of the media discourse, among the components of which are clearly marked formal-content and contextual-cognitive discursive signs that are a necessary attribute of media communication, giving the recipient the opportunity to interpret the message to an adequately lit event.

Abstract: The subject of this article is the analysis of evocative representation and influence from cognitive attitudes. The information concept is opened from the point of view of the media discourse and media information. Evocative influence is considered by the author as a subtype of speech influence, special attention is paid to the representation of conceptual features in the headline of the media text. In her article Konovalova provides definitions of evocative representation and influence. The material of the study was media texts in various languages. The research is based on the following research methods: 1) observation as a method of collecting empirical information; and 2) cognitive-matrix analysis of headlines of media texts. The results of the cognitive-matrix analysis of the US, British and German press headings are presented, during which several types of information concepts are considered. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the signs of information concepts in the headlines of media texts are first considered from the standpoint of the evocative impact on the recipient. It is proved that the verbalization of the concept in the title of the media text is carried out with the aim of providing an evocative influence.
