Abstract
Aim. To identify the main features of the language tools used in the formation of the concept of "linguistic personality of a politician" in English-language sources.
Methodology. The complex methodology includes cognitive-discursive analysis, contextual analysis, and comparative method. The main content of the study is the analysis of English-language texts of a linguo-politological nature and texts of speeches by politicians.
Results. The analysis has shown that modern politicians use a variety of linguistic means in their stylistic and functional features to create their image (statesman) and to obtain the expected results of their intentions to manipulate public consciousness.
Research implications. The theoretical significance of the conducted research can be determined by the fact that its results are able to supplement the information about the concept of “a language personality of a politician” available in a new emerging discipline – linguopolitology. The practical value in the possible application of the results obtained in university courses in general and private linguistics, in general and special lexicology, in the stylistics of the English language, etc.
