metadata.value: The article examines the communicative tactics of direct persuasion in American
  popular science literature, based on a linguopragmatic analysis of the
  international journal ‘Popular Science’ from 2010 to 2023. Although many
  studies have been conducted on communicative explicit influence, Russian
  linguistics has yet to describe the mechanisms of direct persuasion in American
  popular science discourse. This research is therefore scientifically novel.
  It avoids biased language and filler words, and maintains a clear and logical
  structure with causal connections between statements. Technical term abbreviations
  are explained when first used, and subject-specific vocabulary is used
  when it conveys meaning more precisely than non-technical terms. Quotes
  are clearly marked and consistent citation and footnote styles are used. The
  empirical material comprises 75 popular science articles from the journal.
  The text adheres to conventional structure, clear and objective language, formal
  register, precise word choice, and grammatical correctness. The text does
  not introduce any new content beyond the original source text. The linguopragmatic
  analysis revealed various communicative tactics and strategies of
  persuasive discourse aimed at the reader’s consciousness. The purpose of this
  work is to identify and describe the linguopragmatic mechanisms of persuasion
  in popular science literature, specifically the representation of direct persuasive
  tactics used by the sender. The research methods were determined by
  the set goals and included linguistic observation and description, contextual
  analysis, and the method of continuous sampling. The linguopragmatic analysis
  conducted led to the following conclusions: the use of strategies and tactics
  of direct persuasion in popular scientific discourse is an effective tool for
  directly influencing the receiver’s consciousness. The study identified several
  tactics for directly influencing the receiver, including reporting information,
  appealing to the receiver’s background knowledge, deploying information,
  and providing argumentative justification. The results of the linguopragmatic
  analysis suggest that these tactics have significant persuasive potential as universal
  means of communicative influence on the receiver’s consciousness.
