Abstract

This article explores the pragmatic potential of cultural-enlightenment discourse as a distinctive form of communicative practice aimed at shaping sociocultural knowledge and values. The study applies a cognitive-pragmatic approach to examine the strategies and mechanisms used to influence the recipient within a national-cultural framework. The research is grounded in contemporary theories of cognitive linguistics, linguistic pragmatics, and discourse studies.
