MEDIA DISCOURSE

Abstract: The paper is devoted to the
study of violations of one of the laws of
formal logic: the law of the excluded
middle; those violations are found in
modern media discourse. The authors
examined the relationship between
deviations from the law of non-
contradiction (contradiction) and the law
of the excluded middle and came to the
conclusion that violations of the law of
the excluded middle occur in speech only
in symbiosis with violations of the law of
non-contradiction. The analysis of
examples from journalistic tests showed
that deviations from the law of the
excluded middle can be of two types
depending on the reasons for their
occurrence. If a logical rule is violated

the text. In the case when the author
intentionally goes to damage the logical
structure of the utterance, the violation is

a technique. In turn, the goals of the
addressee predetermine the division of
techniques into manipulative (in the case
when a recipient should not notice
logical inconsistencies) and stylistic
ones: tropes and figures (which are
designed to influence an addressee
openly).
Keywords: media discourse, journalistic
text, the law of non-contradiction
(contradiction), the law of the excluded
middle, illogism, mistake, manipulation,
stylistic means, alogism.
