TO THE DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF "COMMUNICATIVE PRACTICE OF INFORMATION WAR"
The research deals with basic characteristics of the concept of “information warfare communicative practice”. Such concepts as the goal of practice, its object, participants, form of implementation and means are used in order to define the notion of communicative practice. Taking these concepts into account enables to define communicative practices as actions of discrete parallel verbal impact on the public opinion of information war counterparts when interpreting events, objects, etc. Communicative practices are realised in the media through parallel propaganda or communicative duels with the use of speech manipulation and counter- manipulation means.
