Abstract

The relevance of the research is determined by the importance of identifying and describing the evidentiary semantics formed by the author in the process of transmitting information in a discursive evidentiary context, as well as the insufficient study of evidence in this perspective. The purpose of the study is to determine the role of suggestibility in the transmission of deliberate dominance of political discourse in the media. The linguosynergic method of eudential analysis was used, which revealed additional multimodal semantics along with the main meaning of eudence, which suggests the qualification of the source of information about a particular event. As the results of the study show, the semantics of suggestive evidence corresponds to the multimodal semantics characteristic of the political discourse of the media. It was concluded that suggestive evidence reflects their deliberate dominance based on persuasion and prompting the reader to act, as well as on presenting the facts in a certain light. At the same time, the predominance of psychological evidence (53.8% of examples) over authoritative evidence (46.2% of examples) is due to the broader semantics of the first subspecies of the category, suggesting an impact on both the area of consciousness and the subconscious of the reader, in contrast to the authoritarian subspecies, characterized by the categorical and imperative influence of the author on the consciousness of the final addressee.
