The concepts “intertext” and “precedent text” are studied. Through the means of modern radio discourse (radio stations “Ekho Moskvy,” “Radio Sibir,” “Russkoye Radio,” “Mayak,” etc.) the main sources of precedent texts are identified; methods of their inclusion in the radio discourse are analyzed; ways of precedent texts transformation are described. Special attention is given to the content of precedent texts, key concepts and categories representing the Russian culture and the Russian mentality at a certain historical stage.
