Tourism discourse: an integral approach

The paper focuses on the problem of tourism discourse as an object of integral linguistics. We aim to prove the effectiveness of the integral approach in tourism discourse studies, to give the definition of tourism discourse as an integral distributed object, and to build its integral metamodel. We use various research methods, including linguistic modeling. Our research proves that tourism discourse is a type of joint communication between members of different social groups, in the course of which fragments of knowledge, language, national culture and social space of a certain locus are verbalized. The integral metamodel of tourism discourse is presented in the form of a distributed object, a unity of four quadrants: the cognitive, language, cultural, and social ones, the units of which are actualized in the process of communication.
