Образ России в материалах Конгресса США 116 и 117 созывов : магистерская диссертация / The image of Russia in 116th and 117th US Congress

The paper discusses the lexical representation of the metaphorical image of Russia formed in the discourse of the committees of the 116th and 117th US Congress (2019-2022). The object of the study is the political discourse of the US Congressional committees. The goal of the study is to characterize the image of Russia reflected in the materials of the 116th and 117th US Congress. The research material consists of 244 documents posted in the public domain on the official website of the US Congress. From these documents, 2058 lexical units were selected for analysis. The analysis showed that the most common types of metaphors are the military, the metaphor of immoral behavior, the metonymic model «RUSSIA – PUTIN» and the criminal metaphor. It was also revealed that the confrontation between the USSR and the USA during the Cold War still plays a significant role in understanding modern Russia. In analising the discursive characteristics, a correlation was established between the dynamics of metaphorical discourse and events in Russian-American relations. / The paper discusses the lexical representation of the metaphorical image of Russia formed in the discourse of the committees of the 116th and 117th US Congress (2019-2022).
