Abstract. The article considers the political caricature as a creolized text with verbal and non-verbal components that create a single semantic whole, and also analyzes background knowledge (presuppositions) about the policy issue of British Prime Minister Theresa May, necessary for interpreting English-language political caricatures. As a result, the common features and patterns in creating the image of May in the verbal and non-verbal parts of caricatures are determined, which depend on the author’s choice of certain graphic means and terminologies.
Key words and phrases: политическая карикатура, лингвистические средства, семиотика, вербальный и невербальный компоненты, пресуппозиции, "брексит", political caricature, linguistic means, semiotics, verbal and nonverbal components, presupposition, "Brexit"
