Aim: to describe motivational discourse in the aspect of interdiscursivity, to identify in its domain religious, political and, narrower, protest themes, to explain their central and constitutive role in motivational speeches. Methodology. The main method of the research is discourse analysis in its poststructuralist, kratological and critical versions, manifested in critical discourse-analysis CDA and corresponding to the social-constructivist approach. General scientific and linguistic methods, such as interpretation, comparison, induction, contextual, conceptual and linguostylistic analyses are also used. Results. The undertaken research shows the interdiscursive nature of motivational speeches. In this regard, in the future we consider it possible to differentiate between different types of motivational discourse and to characterize it in terms ‘religious’, ‘protest’, ‘political’, ‘sport’, etc. Research implications. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the fact that it resulted in a deeper understanding of the motivational communicative environment, including the methods of rhetorical influence used in it.
