Abstract

The article deals with the specific features of realization of discrediting strategy in diplomatic discourse and is based on the speeches given by D.B. Baer concerning the conflict situation in Ukraine in 2015. The author analyzes the ways how this strategy is realized in speech with the help of speech tactics and speech acts. It was determined that the discrediting strategy is the global strategy in the field of speech influence and is widely used in diplomatic discourse. US diplomat, US ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe uses discrediting strategy in his speeches and this strategy is implemented through accusation tactics, which is more used in the US diplomatic discourse in comparison with the tactics of opposition, exposing, ridiculing, showing of mistakes, ordering or threating. These tactics realize their potential primarily via assertive and directive speech aсts.
