Abstract. The article explores the challenges in defining the term "discourse" within the contemporary domain of cognitive linguistics, specifically focusing on discourse analysis. The study emphasizes the current emphasis on understanding language development and functioning within historical and social contexts. The author surveys definitions of discourse provided by various linguists, highlighting the increasing diversification of the term, leading to a multitude of interpretations. Recognition emerges as the essence of discourse, wherein an individual is identified as actively engaged in present actions through a combination of linguistic elements and extralinguistic factors such as actions, interactions, values, beliefs, symbols, objects, tools, and places. The definition of "discourse" in linguistics primarily centers on extralinguistic aspects that shape discourse, including social, ideological, and cultural dimensions. The article illustrates various classifications of discourse, emphasizing the challenge of discourse analysis in classifying diverse discourse types with indistinct criteria. Special attention is given to mass media discourse, characterized by linguistic manipulation influencing public perceptions. Mass media, by presenting its version of reality, serves as an intermediary in shaping people's attitudes toward the actual world. The study explores linguistic manipulation tools within mass media discourse, highlighting their impact on the perception and representation of reality. In summary, the category of discourse encompasses both the verbal and extralinguistic components, encompassing cultural, social, and contextual elements. Although modern linguists identify various discourse types, the lack of distinct criteria for differentiation underscores the complexity arising from their diversity
Keywords: addressant, addressee, discourse, discourse analysis, discourse utterance, types of discourse, communicative reality, extralinguistic context
