The linguo-cognitive style of a journalist as manifestation of his argumentative logic (exemplified by literary and political essays)

The paper analyses the argumentative logic of some authors of literary and political essays (V. Shenderovich, A. Konchalovsky, D. Zubov) to reveal the peculiarities of the linguo-cognitive style of a journalist. Argumentative logic is regarded as a parameter of research and comparison of the journalists’ individual manners of speaking (writing).
