Introduction. The article deals with the results of a study of the linguistic conflict modelling’s specifics in the English economic media discourse on the basis of a syntagmatic analysis. Morpho-syntactic and lexico-phraseological characteristics of the conflict are considered here. This fact confirms a typical model of the language reality reconstruction for this type of discourse. The purpose is to study the language means of verbalization and modelling of the concept “conflict” in the English economic press, using the method of syntagmatic description. Materials and methods. The study of the features of modelling on the morpho-syntactic and lexical levels is made on the basis of the English economic periodicals “The Financial Times” and “The Economist” published in 2017. The lexical embodiment of the conflict phenomenon is reflected in 55 media texts. In the process of research, a statistical method is used to establish the quantitative parameters of the studied phenomena and the method of a syntagmatic analysis. Results, discussion. Within the framework of the syntagmatic description of economic media texts, the tendency to use multi-element lexical compounds, a high degree of nominal syntagmatic and various linguis-tic-stylistic means of expressiveness are revealed. Conclusion. According to the study of English economic media texts, an important part in the modelling of the media text belongs to components that contribute to the realization of the influence function at the morpho-syntactic and lexical-phraseological levels.
