Abstract: The subject of the study are the results obtained in the course of electroacoustic analysis of a single text. This fragment is part of an interview recorded by an Indian student studying French in the Republic of India.
The auditor participating in the recording of the phonogram of the fragment is a resident of South India, living in the state of Tamil Nadu.
The task of the experiment carried out by the authors is to study the methods of intonation selection using the main prosodic characteristics of the semantics of texts of various subjects. The object of this study is the analysis of indicators of the frequency of the main tone, intensity, duration, and pause.
The article contains a table consisting of the results of processing acoustic data obtained using the PRAAT software, which provides the ability to process and analyze sounding speech. The authors consider in detail the procedure of the experiment, which consists in transcribing the text, highlighting lexico-semantic lines opposed to each other, the process of rationing according to the formulas given in the article, as well as analyzing the results.
The main conclusion of the study is the calculation of deviations from the average values of the main acoustic parameters that characterize words that express the semantic lines of the text and are combined into two opposed lexico-semantic complexes.

Abstract: This article is dedicated to the description of results acquired in the course of conducting lexical-semantic analysis of the texts of televised election debates. Speech of the candidates of the head of the Fifth Republic in the course of election campaigns of 2012 and 2017 served as the material for this study. The goal lies in examination of the ways of influencing the potential voters using the linguistic means. The authors carried out e lexical-semantic-stylistic analysis of research material, as well as explored substantive structure of the selected texts. The article also analyzes content of the speech of televised election debates, presented by the combination of the conveyed explicit and implicit information. The work also includes a summary table that demonstrates nuclear lexemes of the juxtaposed semantic complexes of texts. The results obtained in the course of lexical-semantic-stylistic analysis confirm the authors’ assumption that the texts of televised election debates contain semantic dichotomies that are one of the ways of influencing the electorate.

Abstract: This article is devoted to the description of methods, principles and results of audit analysis of television debates that involved candidates for the Head of the Fifth Republic during election campaigns of 2012 and 2017. The aforesaid analysis is a component of a full research of pre-election TV debates in order to define their phonostylistic features at the supra-segment level. The aim of this experiment is to verify a supposition about intonational emphasis that uses the main prosodiac features (melodics, volume and pause) expressed by lexical units and stylistic devices that constitute two opposing semantic complexes as the basis for political speeches. The research provides data obtained using the auditor survery. Based on the example of one speech utterance, the author of the article demonstrates the process of audit analysis. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the results of audit analysis prove the conclusions made in the course of lexical-semantic-stylistic analysis with psycholinguistic elements as well as experiment for subjective audit symbolism. These results prove a special intonational emphasis of pre-election TV debates. 

Abstract: This article is devoted to the concepts of psycholinguistics, neurolinguistic programming, speech influence on the audience and implementatino of psycholinguistic and NLP methods and strategies in political debates. The authors of the article describe a range of extralinguistic means that can at the intersection of psycholinguistics and neurolinguistic programming and aimed at affecting the audience and making a certain communicative effect. The authors have carried out a psycholinguistic analysis of texts as well as created a psychological portrait of a speaker using the results of language unit analysis. In particular, the authors present the results of the psycholinguistic and NLP analysis of Marine Le Pen's remark said by her durign the French president election campaign in 2017. The results of the authors' analysis of that part of political TV debates allow to conclude that a great variety of not only linguistic but also extralinguistic means are used to make a certain communicative effect on the electorate during election campaign and these are the means that are used in psycholinguistics and neurolinguistic programming.
