Abstract
The theoretical background of the research is the method of frame analysis. From the perspective of the frame semantics the study considers the frame-like organization of the speech act of warning and its interpretation in English political mediadiscourse. The goal of the research is to reveal and discuss the frame model of the interpretation of the illocutionary force of the speech act of warning in analytical mediatexts as the secondary genre of political discourse. Of central concern in the paper is the notion of the frame valency in the cognitive structure of the frame WARNING. The paper brings into focus the issue that the frame WARNING involves two types of frame valency, one frame valency is on the proposition (warn the addressee of a possible future danger) and the other valency directs the addressee to perform a certain action to avoid the danger. The paper brings into focus syntactic differences of the above mentioned valencies. The study discusses focus shift mechanism as a cognitive operation involved in the interpretation of the illocutionary force of the speech act of warning in secondary mediatexts
