Summary/Abstract: Ideological discourse serves the purpose of imposing a vision of the world based on the sender’sbeliefs on the recipient. For this purpose, treatments to modify the meanings of terms andthe axiological marking of words are used, ways of understanding and prioritising values areimposed, and the designata of words are arbitrarily changed. The subordination of the languageto ideology deprives it of its credibility as an instrument for describing reality, weakens its abilityto express meanings precisely, and makes it a tool for sustaining disputes.
