Abstract
<p>The relevance of the research is due to the significant practical and theoretical interest in implicitness, in particular, to the functioning of implicit promises in Russian political discourse. The article presents the results of an experiment conducted by the author in 2023–2024 in order to identify the linguistic characteristics of an implicit political promise in Russian, describe and evaluate the impact of polymodality on the perception of a promissive textotype by the audience. To achieve this goal, methods of continuous computer sampling, questionnaires and critical discourse analysis were used, which allowed to identify lexical markers of the implementation of the intention of a promise in an implicit form in Russian political discourse, as well as to describe the influence of polymodality on the perlocation of a promise. The study sample included mini-texts with a leading promissive intention, selected for the period from 1998 to 2024.</p>
