"FORCES OF NATURE" CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS IN THE MIGRATION DISCOURSE IN THE SPEECH OF RIGHT-WING POLITICIANS (BASED ON THE SPEECHES OF T. OKAMURA AND V. ZHIRINOVSKY)
Currently one of the key political issues is the search for effective solutions to overcome the migration crisis. Rapid growth of social and political tension, which leads to the intensification of activity of right-wing parties and movements around the world, can be observed. During the political struggle, politicians are able to form certain stereotypes, beliefs and values of the audience with the help of special linguistic means. The aim of the study is to analyze the “forces of nature“ conceptual metaphors that the “right-wing“ politicians use in the discourse about immigration and immigrants. The analysis of the representation of the image of migrants in the discourse of “right-wing“ politicians in Russia and the Czech Republic in a comparative aspect is carried out.
