The article is devoted to the problem of identifying the functional and stylistic features of the verbal realization of cognitive dissonance on the material of the English-language news television media discourse (using the example of "Sky News"), and through the comments left under the video on the official YouTube channel. The paper considers the characteristic features of cognitive dissonance, provides examples of the use of stylistic devices used by recipients of information to express cognitive dissonance, and analyzes their role as an indicator of cognitive dissonance. For example, with the help of irony, recipients of information can express cognitive dissonance. On the basis of the study, the authors propose their interpretation of the problem of identifying the functional and stylistic features of the manifestation of cognitive dissonance. In the process of work, the following methods have been used: discourse analysis, content analysis and functional-stylistic analysis. As a result of the study, the following goals have been achieved: identifying cases of cognitive dissonance using stylistic devices, analyzing media discourse and comments.
