В търсене на високия езиков етикет: Лингвистични портрети на български политици (върху материал от политически изказвания на бившия премиер и съпредседател на „Продължаваме промяната“ Кирил Петков)
In Search of High Linguistic Etiquette: Linguistic Portraits of Bulgarian Politicians (on material from political speeches by former Prime Minister and co-chair of “We Continue the Change” Kiril Petkov)

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to examine the speech of the political speeches of the former prime minister and the co-chairman of “We continue the change” Kiril Petkov. The language material, on the basis of which the language portrait was built, is from public speeches of Kiril Petkov – official speeches, speeches to protestors, recordings from parliamentary control, transcripts from a meeting of the National Assembly. The article traces whether his vocabulary adheres to the official sphere of communication, its dynamics and whether it meets the requirements of the high speech etiquette. In addition, it focuses on the expressive coloring of the language, the frequency of verbal aggression and its manifestations. The study traces what propaganda techniques the speaker uses, when formal behavior is replaced by emotions, and how this affects the speech. The subject of linguistic analysis is the tendency to idle words, the frequency in the use of repetitions, metaphors, metonymies, hyperboles, phraseological combinations. The research follows how the political speech affects the other people’s representatives in the plenary hall, the representatives of the opposition and the citizens. Another question that is asked how the revealed type of speaking affects the listeners – be they political figures or not – whether they gain approval or, on the contrary, provoke the dissatisfaction of the audience.
