RETRANSLATION OF LEGAL DISCOURSE IN MEDIA TEXTS ON THE PROBLEM OF MIGRATION
The paper presents part of the project aimed at revealing and analyzing the mechanisms of construction of international relations in various discursive practices. Drawing on a newspaper corpus, the authors explore typical media representations of legal discourse, in particular the Russian Federal Law ‘On the legal status of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation'. The research involves such aspects as the explicitness of references to law, the validity of the provided legal information, a subjective evaluation frame. The analysis has disclosed a number of transformations of legal discourse as it is represented in the media.
