This paper investigates the multimodal website marketing discourse of Microsoft , Oracle, and SAP relying on an approach which makes use of multimodal critical discourse analysis, pragmatics, and text linguistics. The integrated framework allows for consideration of the discourse-generating intention of the locutionary source, the discourse function, verbal content categories and audio-visual techniques employed in the nonverbal discourse contributing to the global category of ideologeme consisting of key ideas and aimed at the locutionary target. The intention of such discourse is to persuade consumers to purchase IT solutions which is manifested in the persuasive function. The textual content has been investigated in terms of a set of categories such as: the theme, including IT terms; tonality, made explicit through positively charged words and imperative sentences; time and space, emphasizing time saving efforts to deal with challenges enterprise-wide. The findings are similar to those revealed in the verbal content of customer testimonial videos, with audio-visual techniques such as invigorating music, company settings, contrast colors, etc. being alike. It is of particular interest that the linguistic means in these three marketing discourses are different only when it comes to metaphorical expressions. The global ideologeme is made explicit by urging customers to optimize data and feel IT-powered performance benefits. It is conveyed through multiple antitheses such as data challenges vs. one solution, previously vs. now, old vs. new, and slowly vs. fast. The antitheses in the three marketing discourses are similar as are the typical manifestations of categories and audio-visual techniques which may encourage further research in terms of making the specific discourse of a company stand out to its customers.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>На веб-сайтах компаний сферы информационных технологий представлены вербальные и невербальные средства, что требует учета ряда параметров в ходе анализа для получения более полного представления о спектре и взаимодействии данных средств. В работе проводится интегративный анализ мультимодального маркетингового дискурса веб-страниц производителей программного обеспечения Microsoft, Oracle и SAP с учетом положений мультимодального критического дискурс-анализа, прагматики, а также лингвистики текста. Полагаем, что целесообразным является учет следующих параметров: дискурсопорождающая интенция адресанта, функция дискурса, реализация категорий в вербальном контенте мультимодального дискурса и использование аудиовизуальных приемов в невербальном контенте, глобальная идеологема, или ключевая идея дискурса, а также адресат. Дискурсопорождающей интенцией является побуждение потребителя к приобретению ИТ-решения, при этом дискурс реализует воздействующую функцию. Текстовое наполнение веб-сайтов рассматривается в рамках таких категорий, как тема (терминология сферы информационных технологий); тональность (положительно окрашенная лексика; повелительное наклонение); хронотоп (экономия времени для решения глобальных задач в рамках всего предприятия). Проведенный анализ позволил получить аналогичные результаты в отношении категорий на материале вербального наполнения видеоотзывов клиентов, при этом аудиовизуальные приемы в виде использования динамичной музыки, видов компании, контрастных цветов и пр. сходны. Примечательно, что использование различных лингвистических средств было выявлено лишь в ходе анализа метафорических выражений, представленных в маркетинговых дискурсах трех компаний. Глобальной идеологемой маркетинговых дискурсов является призыв к реципиенту оптимизировать управление данными для обеспечения эффективного развития в ближайшем будущем. Приемом реализации типичной идеологемы становятся многократно используемые антитезы: проблемы работы с большим количеством данных vs. одно ИТ-решение, ситуация до и после, старое vs. новое, медленно vs. быстро. Анализ показывает, что в рамках маркетинговых дискурсов трех компаний используются сходные антитезы, а реализация категорий и аудиовизуальных приемов также аналогична, что может потребовать дальнейших исследований маркетингового дискурса с точки зрения восприятия его специфичности клиентами.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>marketing discourse</kwd><kwd>information technology</kwd><kwd>intention</kwd><kwd>persuasion</kwd><kwd>category</kwd><kwd>ideologeme</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>маркетинговый дискурс</kwd><kwd>информационные технологии</kwd><kwd>интенция</kwd><kwd>убеждение</kwd><kwd>категория</kwd><kwd>идеологема</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abbamonte, Lucia &amp; Flavia Cavaliere. 2017.
