Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the linguistic-stylistic features of political discourse, which has become one of the most popular objects of linguistic research in recent decades. The peculiarities of language arrangement of political discourse on phonetic, grammatical, lexical, syntactic and stylistic levels are described. The examples of terminological metaphor and euphemisation in politicians’ speeches are given. It is shown that English political discourse as one of the subtypes of publicistic style has its own characteristics at the outer level of the text and internal level of language and speech features for both native and non native speakers.
