Abstract
The study of political discourse, as well as the rhetoric of politicians, is a field of knowledge standing at the intersection of linguistics and political science. Our research is based on the critical discourse analysis, which is realized with the help of methods of natural language processing by computer programs, in particular by artificial intelligence (by creating a concordance dictionary, using the methods of distributive semantics, searching for word-associates and frequency dictionaries).
The aim of the work is to identify the rhetorical constructs special for the discourse, used in practice by the State Duma deputies to create a special agenda.
The study was conducted on the material of transcripts for all sessions of the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the 7th and 8th convocations (from 2016 to 2022).
The relevance of the study is related to the attempt in applying the latest technologies in the description of discourse.
The results of the study are presented in the form of describing the characterization of speech constructs, identifying the deputies’ attitudes towards the topics and outlining the mental constructs expressed by the State Duma deputies.
