Abstract
The article studies the core characteristics of emotional intelligence and their verbalization patterns in contemporary political media discourse. The study aims to identify linguistic means of expressing main emotional intelligence traits through an analysis of English-speaking comments on a post published on an official channel of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on X* (*banned in the Russian Federation). The article’s aim is realized by through descriptive methods and qualitative content analysis, linguistic analysis (encompassing lexico-semantic and lexico-grammatical analyses), stylistic analysis, and interpretive analysis. As a results of the study, it was revealed that social awareness and empathy emerge as the most frequently verbalized characteristics of emotional intelligence in a commentary data.
