Strategies and Tactics of Communication in Parliamentary Discourse

Summary/Abstract: The study contains an outline of the results of linguo-pragmatic analysis of the speech behaviour of politicians who are participants of parliamentary discourse. The concept of parliamentary discourse is defined as one of the varieties of political discourse within the framework of institutional commu¬nication. The genre heterogeneity of political discourse is substantiated and the genre of debates, including pre-election and parliamentary debates, is defined. It is revealed that parliamentary debates mostly represent the linguo-pragmatic specificities of parliamentary discourse. The materials for the analysis consisted of transcripts of meetings of the Parliament of Ukraine in 2004–2019. The main criterion of the typology was the peculiarities of the observed communicative interactions: cooperative and conflict ones. Regulatory, informational and consolidation communication strategies are identified within the framework of cooperative communication; meanwhile, declarative, confrontational and argumentative-critical ones are identified within the framework of conflict interaction.
