Język polityki. Od retoryki do analizy dyskursu. Zarys problematyki
The language of politics. From rhetoric to discourse analysis. Outline of the issues

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the interrelationships between language and politics. Speaking, according to sociologists of language, is the linguistic behavior of individuals re- sulting from non-linguistic situations and the properties of their idd, shaped by the environ- mental and education. To name linguistic ways of perceiving reality, in the form of political communication, we use the term ‘discourse’, reflecting the functional aspect of language use. Discourse in this sense is situated between language and communication, in this approach, it is treated as a specific message, which takes into account its verbal plane and the circum- stances of its creation. Research on discourse draws on the achievements of many sciences: anthropology, history, rhetoric, stylistics, semiotics, literary studies, ethnography of speak- ing, political science and sociology. Researchers of the language of politics propose to name this new research discipline as ‘sociolinguistics’ or ‘political linguistics’.
