DEKONSTRUKCJA DYSKURSU POLITYCZNEGO W PARODII NOWOROCZNYCH PRZEMÓWIEŃ WŁADIMIRA PUTINA
DECONSTRUCTION OF THE POLITICAL DISCOURSE IN A PARODY OF VLADIMIR PUTIN’S NEW YEAR SPEECHES

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the strategies of deconstruction of political discourse in contemporary audiovisual parodies. It presents case study of Yegor Loskutov’s parody, which is a reminiscence of the New Year speeches of Vladimir Putin. The text indicates the features of political discourse that are subject to parodic transformations. The study presents a new linguistic perspective on the phenomenon of deconstruction in comparison to the theory of language games. The analysis of the sample work leads to the conclusion that the authors of contemporary parodies conduct a multipronged deconstruction of political messages on the visual, lexical, pragmatic and stylistic levels. By imitating the speeches of authorities representatives with implementation of ironic and allusive signals, language games, and stylistic transforma- tions, the authors of the parodies criticize the techniques of communication of politicians and the ideas they represent.
