Abstract
The author considers the prospects for turning to the tools of historical discourse studies while examining American presidential communicative culture. It is argued that euphemisation plays a constitutive role and is used as a leading cognitive strategy in constructing a political public speech. An intense pragma-emotional impact on the addressee is provided by the polytropic character of context and extended metaphor, viewed as an invariant characteristic of American presidential discourse.
