https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-712X-2023-3-57-71
Abstract
Aim. To formulate and describe the elements and impact levels on recipients within the framework of the linguistic model of information war from the point of view of the cognitive-discursive approach.
Methodology. The main content of the article is the generalization of the research theoretical experience. Linguo-pragmatic analysis, critical discourse analysis, linguo-cognitive analysis are used as the methods of practical research.
Results. As a result of the analysis, a multi-level model of information war is proposed, which is divided into strategic, operational, tactical and instrumental levels. The information impact on the conceptual picture of the world is characterized as a set of language techniques, methods, discursive tactics and strategies to achieve the goal of changing the conceptual picture of the world.
Research implications. The theoretical and/or practical significance is determined by the contribution to the systemic description of information warfare as a cognitive-discursive phenomenon, the development of a level approach to its study, the development of a methodology for studying cognitive impact within the framework of information war.
