Abstract

Boeva-Omelechko Natalya Borisovna, Posternyak Kseniya Pavlovna

The problem discussed in the article is topical due to the formation of the new branch of linguistics - imagology, dealing with means of formation of images of states. The authors analyze linguistic devices, used by British journalists for establishing negative associations with the name of our country in minds of British people. The main aim of these publications is to show the danger and threat, connected with our country and to form corresponding myths and stereotypes.

Key words: Russia, image, linguistic devices, context, epithet, metaphor, negative connotations.
