Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the communicative-speech implementation of the category of politeness in modern German political discourse, associated with the manifestation of such professional and personal qualities of its main subjects — politician, as political correctness, persuasiveness, etc. The analysis is carried out on the material of the texts of modern German political discourse. The methodological basis of the analysis is scientific works on the theory of discourse and text, political linguistics, pragmalinguistics, sociolinguistics, cultural linguistics. The understanding of the category of politeness as an interdisciplinary dynamic phenomenon is accepted. The complex bipolar system of the category of politeness, which is based on a dynamic scale of communicative strategies and linguistic means of expressing both formally polite and emotionally expressive address, is updated in various types of discourses. When analyzing the features of the expression of the category of politeness in modern German political discourse, the syncretism of its functions, primarily ethical and persuasive, is taken into account. The interaction and mutual influence of the main functions of the category of politeness are shown on the example of the implementation of the communicative strategy of dialogization by the linguistic personality of a German politician in various situations of political discourse. The article substantiates the thesis that by creating a quasi-reality of dialogue, using speech politeness formulas, a politician has an impact on the audience to achieve political goals.

Keywords:
