Abstract:  The paper is devoted to the analysis of the discursive peculiarities of the corruption interpretation in the English language on the basis of the official, paremiological and mass-media types of discourse. The necessity to take into account the international experience in combating corruption, the analysis of the national peculiarities of the corruption representation in the language, the need for the comparative studies make the study of the mentioned phenomenon up-to-date.
The statutory and regulatory enactments are chosen as top-priority material for the analysis. The representation of the malpractice under analysis in the English proverbs and sayings about the corruption is determined by the differentiation of the terms used to denote the phenomenon under study. The most frequently described types of corruption acts in the mass-media are ‘corruption and bribery’, ‘money laundering’, ‘cronyism’ and ‘nepotism’. The levels of corruption are not represented by a wide range of features whereas the qualitative characteristics are more diverse.
The conclusion is made about corruption as not only social phenomenon but discursive practice the linguistic understanding of which is important from the point of view of improving the anti-corruption legislation, the society’s perception and forming the negative attitude towards the destructive phenomenon. One of the perspectives of the study could be corruption analysis in the diachronic aspect.


Keywords:  corruption, official discourse, paremiological discourse, mass-media discourse, anti-corruption legislation, proverbs, sayings, conceptual characteristics, metaphorical models.
