Abstract

A series of revolutionary events that swept across the Arab countries over the period of 2010–2014 hailed as the “Arab Spring” has become a significant episode of the world history. A characteristic feature of these revolutionary events is the formation of a specific revolutionary discourse, common for a number of countries, which, against the backdrop of a share political culture, demonstrates a sustainable unity of themes, concepts, ideas and speech genres. The article analyzes some common structural and functional characteristics of the Arab Spring discourse. Based on a preliminary corpus of texts, the author examines a key concept of the revolutionary discourse IRADA(t) ASH-SHA‘B (will of the people).
