ANALYSIS OF DISCOURSE AND TERMINOLOGY OF NATION-BUILDING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

The article analyzes the problems of nation-building terminology in policy documents, regulatory legal acts and social scientific discourse of Kazakhstan, using Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model of critical discourse analysis. The authors divide content structure into three dimensions corresponding to Fairclough's model: text, discursive practice and sociocultural practice, which allows for a comprehensive assessment and analysis of linguistic and conceptual factors influencing the formation of national policy and public opinion. The study is aimed at identifying contradictions and discrepancies that exist in the terminological base and discursive practices. The authors offer specific recommendations for unifying terminology to improve the effectiveness of public policy in the field of nation-building.
