Abstract

The article examines the semantic space of concepts in modern British political discourse. The basic concepts of government, political events, citizen and ecology in the British press are analysed, taking into account: 1) the main, dominant, feature; 2) additional “passive” features; 3) the actualization of the internal hidden form. It was determined that these characteristics allow the concepts to be updated on diferent levels, as well as to be perceived by carriers of diferent cultures in diferent ways. On the basis of the content-analysis of modern British media contexts and semantic network analysis, a feld model of the political discourse of the modern British press was constructed. It is proved that all the presented sub-concepts are at the fnal stage of formation in British political language consciousness, which is indicated by the high density of political discourse lexemes that objectify these sub-concepts.
