Migration discourse: Institutionality and interference (A review)

This review aims to analyze the content and structure of migration discourse as an object of migration linguistic studies. In Russia, migration linguistics has begun to actively develop relatively recently, and at the same time, migration discourse has emerged as a separate type of discourse and a focus of research. However, no researchers has offered any complex analysis of migration discourse model yet, and this is a reason for its thorough examination, data collection, their systematization and interpretation. Nevertheless, the accumulated experience of previous discourse studies enables to design a migration discourse model characterized by modular structure and to display certain details of its content based on different concepts in Russian (Soviet) and foreign linguistics. https://doi.org/10.22250/24107190202410331 As a result, migration discourse is displayed as a complex multifaceted structure including linguistic, political, social and cultural aspects. Its structure is expressed in modules viewed as macroand micropositions. Migration discourse is characterized by institutionality and interdiscursivity. It is represented by a communicative event where the interaction of different discourses occurs, new participants are introduced and different contexts overlap. The review enables to conclude that only a few possible aspects of migration discourse are investigated based on a limited number of languages involved which gives a wide outlook for further studies.
