“…The essence of manipulation lies in deliberately constructing an incorrect and distorted informational framework within a communicative scenario, involving the concealment of facts, modification of knowledge, and rearrangement of priorities (Antipova et al, 2021). The manipulative effect is based on the association of explicit content, creating a kind of "formal armor" that diverts the listener's attention from taboo subjects while conveying additional semantics in the subtext (Malyuga & Grishechko, 2021;Agapova & Grishechko, 2016).…”

This study examines the corpus of euphemistic vocabulary in the English language, focusing on its classification according to thematic parameters. The research draws upon the encyclopedic dictionary of euphemisms, which provides a comprehensive source of statistical and thematic material. The sample comprises 7896 vocabulary units, representing the diverse areas of euphemistic language use in speech production. Thematic fields were consolidated by grouping thematically similar lexemes and expressions, resulting in the specification of 17 distinct thematic fields. The study employs a comprehensive classification approach, analyzing the euphemisms based on their method of formation. The primary methods identified include borrowings from other languages, expansion of semantic meaning, metonymy, metaphor, and various word-formation changes. Peripheral methods such as allusion, eponymy, personification, vulgarisms, and epithets were also examined. The research highlights the significance of euphemism as an integral component of the English language system, reflecting the historical development and formation of language while serving as a mechanism for smoothing communicative acts. It acknowledges that euphemization of speech can be employed not only for constructing polite communication but also for implementing manipulative effects on the addressee. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the dictionary reveals that metaphorical transfer, expansion of semantic meaning, and various word-formation changes are the most productive ways of forming euphemistic vocabulary. Borrowing foreign words, allusion, personification, eponymy, epithets, and vulgarisms are found to be less productive. The implications of this research extend to linguistics, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, cross-cultural communication, language education, cultural studies, anthropology, manipulative language use, and discourse ethics.

“…Most instances of such a difference are revealed to relate to spelling, pronunciation, definition and pragmatics. Having analysed reference books and guides on teaching psychology-related terminology in English and French, the authors highlight the necessity to create a comprehensive and well-structured system of teaching professional communication skills in the students of psychology whose languages for special purposes are English and French. Keywords: language for special purposes (LSP), terminology, professional communication skills, English for special purposes, French for special purposes Введение В гуманитарной науке в течение последних лет одной из самых обсуждаемых тем является феномен глобализации, рассматриваемый как процесс всеобщей научной, культурной, экономической и политической интеграции разных этнических и национальных групп (Глебов, Милаева, 2010, Antipova, Rabeson & Smirnova, 2021, Malyuga & Rimmer 2021. Однако наиболее интересные проявления данного феномена можно отследить не в экономики и политики, а в области научной коммуникации.…”

“…Язык новостного делового дискурса характеризуется разнообразием языковых средств и грамматических форм, использованием экономических терминов, сочетанием лексики разных жанров (Antipova, Rabeson & Smirnova, 2021). Это связано с необходимостью воздействовать на адресата, донести информацию и побудить к соответствующим действиям.…”
