Abstract

Aim. To analyze the functioning of idioms with color components as one of the actual components of the speeches of open diplomatic discourse and foreign policy discourse for the period 2020–2022.

Methodology. The research was carried out by means of corpus analysis, as well as by means of лшconversational analysis in a modified version proposed by the author, namely, a variant of communication in the mode of mediated dialogue / polylogue.

Results. The linguopragmatics of the use of color idioms in foreign policy communication, acting as echo phrases in the framework of mediated communication, is considered on the example of the collocations red line/line and black swan.

Research implications. It is revealed on the analyzed material that a phrase, clause, collocation within the framework of foreign policy discourse acts as a trigger for a protracted dialogue / polylogue. The modified type of conversational analysis contributes to obtaining new data on communication in different types of discourse, including the study of the behavior of idioms with a color component, which plays a prominent role in foreign policy and diplomatic discourses.
