Resemantization of Vladimir Putin’s precedent statements in the russian political discourse

Abstrakt

This paper aims to analyse updated precedent statements of Vladimir Putin with an accent on their resemantization. The updating often takes place using a purposeful alteration of some part of the expression, as well as of the whole expression. I use the method of critical discourse analysis to characterize the social and political context of the expressions, as well as the discourse strategies targeting the addressees of the analysed speech fragments.
