«CRISIS» AS A SUBCONCEPT OF «WAR» IN BRITISH WAR MEDIA DISCOURSE

Abstract

To research and characterize the nature of the subconcept “crisisˮ and its correlation with other main con-cepts of British war media discourse the following methods were applied: discourse analysis, content-analysis and conceptual analysis. The semantic-associative structure of the subconcept “crisisˮ as well as the contexts of its functioning were under study. The study of war media discourse as a systematic phenomenon is impossible without the profound re-search of its main concepts. Concept “crisisˮ, as a subconcept of the concept “warˮ, influences the for-mation of addressee’s context models. Usually it is contextually connected in addressee’s consciousness with some difficult situation which has to be solved in the nearest future. The context models, as the repre-sentations of the certain situation or events, change with the change of the semantic-associative structure of the concept ˮcrisisˮ. Further studies of concepts and subconcepts of war media discourse will help find out the mechanisms of modeling the semantic-associative structure of the concept “warˮ as well as the mechanisms of the correct decoding of a war message. Concept “crisisˮ as a subconcept of the concept “warˮ is first under consideration. For the first time the author makes an attempt of grounding the connection between the semantic-associative structure of the concept “crisisˮ with addressee’s context models. The obtained results can be used in further deep study of the main concepts of war media discourse and the mechanisms of decoding a war message.
