Abstract. The paper deals with the analysis of parliamentary discourse as a speech interaction in the process of problem discussion and consensual political decision-taking. The author models cognitive processes, tactics and strategies, which stimulate the choice of the right course of action in the conditions of competition and cooperation. Persuasion is understood as a dominant line, following which the members of parliament change the political settings of their opponents, their priorities, beliefs and evaluations. Parliamentary discourse relies heavily on argumentation and persuasion.
Key words and phrases: парламентский дискурс, политическая речь, персуазивность, аргументация, манипуляция, когнитивный фрейминг, коммуникация, parliamentary discourse, political speech, persuasion, argumentation, manipulation, cognitive framing, communication
