EXCEPTIONALISM AS A CONCEPTUALIZATION OBJECT OF A POLITICAL TEXT
This article undertakes an attempt to analyze the assertion of «exceptionalism» ideology of the American way of life, which is based on two key ideas: the idea of greatness of a personality and the central place of God and faith in American families. The choice of linguistic means of USA leading politicians and statesmen translates the idea of the country as a privileged by default nation. The authors conduct a semantic analysis of the term exceptionalism, which presupposes the idea of God's favoured and infallible America, the sense of conscious superiority in relation to sovereignty and independence of other countries of the world.
