Abstract. The article reveals the linguistic nature of the concept "insincerity" and describes the peculiarities of the actual division of insincere statements in the English-language political texts. It is shown that producing insincere statements, a speaker violates the theme-rheme division of a statement: subject drift occurs if it is undesirable for the speaker, and the rheme dominant of a statement distorts. The mentioned peculiarities of actual division facilitate the basic function of political texts - manipulation.
Key words and phrases: неискренний дискурс, неискренность, неискреннее высказывание, актуальное членение, тема, рема, политический текст, insincere discourse, insincerity, insincere statement, actual division, theme, rheme, political text
