Abstract
Currently, as a result of the increase in the number of crimes committed using mobile phones, there is an increased interest in the speech of a fraudster and ways to influence the victim. The vulnerability of the population to unwanted communication increases the importance of studying the live speech of a fraudster. The article pays attention to fraudulent discourse, examines verbatim transcripts of phonograms. The source is materials of criminal cases initiated under Article 159 of the UKRF – Fraud. Discourse of fraud is considered as a synthesis of discourses. The main discourses that contributed to the formation of discourse of fraud are commercial, expert (professional) and emotional. It is worth mentioning that this list is not exhaustive and can be supplemented. The concept of a discursive personality in discourse of fraud is revealed - it is a social and communicative phenomenon that is formed in the process of interaction between a fraudster and their victim, based on social expectation and exploiting a vacuum in collective experience, as well as based on socio-cultural factors (the level of trust in financial organizations and government representatives). Its key aspects are outlined. One of the possible approaches to the interpretation of discourse is the linguistic and semiotic commentary of discursive emblems. The concept of a discursive emblem is revealed and examples are given. An attempt is made to characterize discourse of faud from the point of view of sociolinguistic, pragmalinguistic and performative approaches to the description of discourse. The study of discourse of fraud from the perspective of sociolinguistics allows us to characterize its system-forming features: purpose, participants, concept, values, communicative strategies, genres. The types of communicative tonality (friendly, mentoring, commanding) and the performative aspect of discourse of fraud (manipulation) are defined.
