"WORLD ORDER" IN THE LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL WORLDVIEW OF THE ICONIC LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY OF HENRY KISSINGER

Aim. To analyze the set of language tools used by H. Kissinger for the most vivid and convincing description of various modern political systems, which, to a large extent, reflects the linguistic and cultural worldview of H. Kissinger’s linguistic personality.Methodology. In the course of considering the features of ways and means of reflecting an adequate linguistic and cultural worldview of the author, the interdisciplinary approach is used, which includes the possibility of using a set of methods and research techniques for analyzing texts with rich political content, such as component analysis based on dictionary definitions, contextual and comparative analysis.Results. The study of the linguistic and cultural worldview of the iconic linguistic personality of Henry Kissinger on the material of his book "World Order" illustrates the author's peculiar use of rational arguments (reasonableness, accuracy of selected ideologues, political terms and phrases, logical presentation of the material, validity and scrupulousness of the facts presented), expressed by ideologems inherent in this genre of political communication, stable phrases and terms, as well as linguistic means aimed at the emotional side of information perception, both lexical (epithets, metaphors, etc.) and syntactic (paradoxical antithesis constructions).Research implications. The results of the scientific research contribute to the further development of the theory of the linguistic worldview as a clearly structured multilevel system. Its description on the example of the linguistic and cultural picture of various types of the world order, proposed by H. Kissinger, the analysis of the corresponding set of language tools also helps better understand the argumentation of different sides of the political process.
