This article analyzes tourist discourse, one of the current areas of focus
in modern linguistics, using a linguopragmatic approach. The main goal of
the research is to determine the interrelationship between lexical devices,
communicative strategies, and pragmatic functions used in tourist texts. The
article highlights the genre features of tourist discourse, lexical layers, and
the functional role of evaluative, terminological, metaphorical, and
figurative units in influencing the addressee. It also analyzes the pragmatic
significance of idealization, exoticization, and nationalization strategies in
tourist communication. In the context of digital technology development,
the multimodal and interactive features of tourist discourse and new
communicative models emerging on virtual platforms are examined
separately. The research results demonstrate that lexical choices in tourist
discourse are subject to communicative intentions and pragmatic goals, and
have theoretical and practical significance for analyzing, translating, and
creating texts intended for the tourism industry. Various levels of
specialized vocabulary are used in tourist discourse. Along with
professional terms (transfer, check-in, voucher, all-inclusive, overbooking,
charter), commonly used words are also actively employed. Issues related
to this lexical stratification are discussed in connection with the multi-
layered nature of discourse.
