This article deals with the problem of applying the discourse approach to the analysis of different types of texts, which is of paramount importance for modern linguistics. The subject of the study is the syntactic structure of different types of contemporary media texts. The purpose of the research is to broaden the ways of the discourse analysis with the help of cognitive science. The relevance of the topic of the present paper is determined by the rapid development of studies in the sphere of cognitive linguistics and the need to apply the latest approaches to the analysis of the syntactic structure of speech. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the authors single out modern trends in syntactic analysis of speech construction on the example of contemporary media texts and give an outlook on further significant developments in the sphere, discussing the issue of developing and optimizing telescopic texts for the purposes of modern science, management, education and other essential spheres of life. Within the framework of the present study, the authors used the methods of system analysis, analysis of statistical data, official documents and works of the consummate professionals in the sphere of the cognitive science. Based on the results of the research, it was revealed that modern technologies give marvellous opportunities to create a specific digital data format of various texts, associated development and display tools. The authors concluded that the “telescopic text” is now becoming a way for effective digital communication and information exchange.

Interpretation as a form of intercultural communication plays an important role in modern geopolitical conditions, hence the role of the interpreter as a mediator between languages and mentalities acquires even greater significance as high-quality interpretation ensures successful international communication. The authors focus on studying simultaneous interpreting as a cognitive process and set the goal of analyzing how the incoming message is perceived and processed in the mind of the interpreter and then transformed into a target language message. Applying the method of comparative cognitive transformation, the authors arrive at the conclusion that, since the interpreter operates on the cognitive level, the process of deverbalizing the source message is a transformation of the ordinary language into a language of thought, thus rendering the gist of the original can be achieved through identifying the underlying concepts in the source language message and finding correlations in the target language. Before attempting to formulate the target message, the interpreter should first deverbalize the original and get rid of its linguistic form, that is, cognitively imagine the sense of the message as a certain space of connections. Effective international communication with the target language recipients means that the interpreter needs to account for the pragmatics of the speech act and find a ready-made concise variant expressing a similar idea in the target language.
