Прагматический анализ в данном исследовании основан на подборке выступлений В. Зеленского перед иностранными парламентами, к которым применяется подход Хайланда. Целью исследования является изучение стратегии позиционирования как манипулятивного ресурса и ее лингвистической реализации в представлениях Зеленского о российско-украинском конфликте. В частности, это исследование посвящено тому, как украинский президент манипулирует позицией в своей политической риторике, чтобы контролировать отношения власти с аудиторией и убеждать ее принять его идеи и политику.</p></sec><sec><title>Процедура и методы</title><p>Процедура и методы. Материалом исследования стали 15 выступлений украинского президента В. Зеленского в парламентах зарубежных государств. С целью исследования лингвистической реализации стратегии позиционирования в политическом дискурсе были использованы методы количественного и качественного анализа. На основе результатов количественного анализа были выявлены прагматические функции средств позиционирования и частотность их использования говорящим.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Анализ показал, что, несмотря на то, что Зеленский использовал все три типа средств формирования позиции – стимуляторы, маркеры отношения и самореференции, он предпочитает последние два, избегая широкого использования средств выражения уверенности и усиления. В статье делается вывод о том, что стратегическое использование особенностей позиции имеет большую ценность для политика, поскольку оно помогает подчеркнуть или преуменьшить значимость социальных действий или социальных акторов, повысить доверие к ним и убедить реципиентов поверить во что-то или сделать что-то.</p></sec><sec><title>Теоретическая значимость</title><p>Теоретическая значимость. В статье уточняется понятие стратегии позиционирования и средств её реализации применительно к политической коммуникации и устанавливается роль данной стратегии как манипулятивного ресурса политического оратора. В целом, данное исследование доказывает эффективность использования стратегии позиционирования для исследования манипуляции в политической коммуникации.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Purpose</title><p>Purpose. This study uses a corpus of V. Zelensky’s speeches given before foreign parliaments as the basis of a pragmatic analysis and applies to it the stance framework of Hyland. It aims to examine stance-taking as a manipulative strategy and its linguistic realization in Zelensky’s representations of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. More specifically, this study focuses on how the Ukrainian President manipulates stance features in his political rhetoric to control the power relationship with an audience and persuade them into accepting his ideas and policies.</p></sec><sec><title>Methodology</title><p>Methodology. 15 Zelensky’s speeches delivered before foreign parliaments were used as materials for the study. The study aims to analyze how stance is realized linguistically in presidential discourse, the methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis were applied. Based on the results drawn from the quantitative analysis, pragmatic functions of stance features, speaker’s preferences for these resources and their frequencies in the texts were revealed.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The analysis showed that yet Zelensky used all three types of stance-taking resources – boosters, attitude and self-mention markers, he opted for the latter two ones, avoiding the extensive use of certainty and intensity devices. The article concludes that the strategic use of stance features is of great value to the politician as it helps emphasize or de-emphasize social actions or social actors, enhance credibility, and persuade recipients into believing or doing something.</p></sec><sec><title>Research implications</title><p>Research implications. The article specified the concept of stance in relation to political communication and demonstrated that stance features can serve a manipulative purpose exploited by politicians to enhance credibility. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of using stance to study manipulation in political communication.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>позиционирование</kwd><kwd>средства позиционирования</kwd><kwd>бустинг</kwd><kwd>самореференция</kwd><kwd>отношение</kwd><kwd>политический дискурс</kwd><kwd>манипуляция</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>stance-taking</kwd><kwd>stance features</kwd><kwd>boosting</kwd><kwd>self-mention</kwd><kwd>attitude</kwd><kwd>political discourse</kwd><kwd>manipulation</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">Ajiboye E., Abioye T.
