Методология исследования основывается на частеречной разметке текстов с использованием инструмента “Stanford Part of Speech Tagger” и дальнейшей квантификации формальности согласно работам F.P. Heylighen и J.-M. Dewaele. Показатель формальности исчисляется на основе соотношения недейктических и дейктических категорий слов в тексте. Корпус исследования составляет 267 текстов, взятых из архива проекта “The American Presidency Project” Калифорнийского университета в Санта-Барбаре, США. Из того же источника берется информация о конвенциональной жанровой принадлежности текстов. Результаты исследования демонстрируют значительное различие между жанрами “Remarks” и “Address”. Поскольку метод квантификации формальности позволяет эффективно оппонировать традиционным классификациям, основанным на тематико-содержательных критериях, анализ также выявил неэксплицированные жанровые инновации, например “Weekly Conversation” Джо Байдена. Глобальной тенденции к снижению/повышению формальности дискурса обнаружено не было. Полученные данные подтверждают наличие вариативности в президентском дискурсе и позволяют глубже понять границы жанров и их изменчивость.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>   The article deals with the study of genre classification and the degree of formality of U.S. presidential speeches.</p><p>   The main purpose of the study is to identify conventional genre structures in political discourse and their resilience to stylistic variations.</p><p>   As a hypothesis, it is suggested that the measurement of formality can serve as a reliable indicator for distinguishing genres within political discourse. The research methodology is based on the parts of speech markup of texts using the Stanford Part of Speech Tagger tool and further quantification of formality according to the works of F.P. Heylighen and J.-M. Dewaele. The formality index is calculated based on the ratio of non-deictic and deictic categories of words in the text. The corpus of the study consists of 267 texts taken from the archive of the project “The American Presidency Project” of the University of California at Santa Barbara, USA. Information on the conventional genre of texts is taken from the same source. The results of the study demonstrate a significant difference between the genres of “Remarks” and “Address”. Since the method of quantification of formality makes it possible to effectively oppose traditional classifications based on thematic and substantive criteria, the analysis also revealed unexpressed genre innovations, for example, Joe Biden’s “Weekly Conversation”. There was no global trend towards a decrease/increase in the formality of discourse. The data findings confirm the presence of variability in the presidential discourse and allow a deeper understanding of the boundaries of genres and their variability.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>президентский дискурс</kwd><kwd>речевой жанр</kwd><kwd>формальность</kwd><kwd>частеречная разметка</kwd><kwd>стилистическая вариативность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>presidential discourse</kwd><kwd>speech genre</kwd><kwd>formality</kwd><kwd>part-of-speech tagging</kwd><kwd>stylistic variability</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Галлямова 2010 – Галлямова Н.Ш.
