Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the intentional construction of new words by the addressee in order to manipulate the consciousness of the addressee of mass communication. The material of the research was the discursive implementations of derivatives with the -gate component in the meaning of ‛scandal’ from the Russian print and electronic media for the period from 1977 to 2020, collected by the author, as well as text fragments extracted from the National Corpus of the Russian. It is shown that in the metonymic conceptualization of the denotative situation of a scandal with the help of derivatives from the gate basis, the addressees of mass communication choose 5 areas-sources: “the object of the scandal”; “participant in the scandal”; “geographic localization of the scandal”; “occupation of the participants in the event”; “Participant in the scandal + occupation of the participants in the scandal”. The author makes a conclusion about the participation of derivatives with the -gate component in the organization of annihilating, fingering and modal transformations of statements, as well as in the implementation of the method of redesignating an object and imposing a presupposition. A correlation has been established between the areas-sources of metonymic conceptualization of the denotative situation of the scandal and the functions of derivatives with the -gate component. It was revealed that among the derivatives from the gate base participating in the implementation of the VIR (variable interpretation of reality) techniques, derivatives with the source region “participant in the scandal” prevail.
