This article examines the reproduction of Orientalist narratives in British media discourse and political rhetoric in the post-Brexit era. Drawing upon Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism, the study analyzes the mechanisms through which the image of the “Other” is constructed in contemporary British media and political communication. Particular attention is devoted to migration issues, international security, and the transformation of the United Kingdom’s foreign policy identity following its withdrawal from the European Union. The research employs discourse analysis, comparative analysis, and a postcolonial theoretical framework. The findings demonstrate that despite significant changes in official foreign policy rhetoric, Orientalist representations continue to exert considerable influence on public perceptions and the construction of British foreign policy identity.

This article explores the linguistic and cognitive aspects of dialogical communication. The study considers dialogical speech as a phenomenon closely connected with human cognition, mental structures, and contextual factors. Special attention is paid to the cognitive processes of interlocutors, including presupposition, implicature, speech acts, and the formation of pragmatic meaning in dialogue. The paper outlines the theoretical foundations of dialogical communication within the framework of cognitive linguistics and conceptualizes dialogue as an interactive and dynamic process. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of dialogical discourse and support the development of linguistic and pragmatic analysis.

This article examines Orientalism as a persistent ideological and political construct employed in the framework of state foreign policy strategies. Based on the analysis of political and media discourse, the key mechanisms of using Orientalist representations to legitimize interventions, construct the image of the «Other» and redistribute influence in global politics are identified. The results demonstrate that Orientalism remains significant as a tool of symbolic and practical domination, adapting to new geopolitical conditions.
