The Function of Stylistic Features in Political Discourse
The Function of Stylistic Features in Political Discourse

Summary/Abstract: Political language is a ciphered type of discourse. In order to analyze the elements of such a type of discourse, which aims at the legitimization of the power and sometimes (if not most of the time) tends to be manipulative, it is important to be able to detect the ‘stylistic tools’ used in political text and their discursive values. On the other hand, a stylistic analysis of political discourse is more than welcomed in general, especially nowadays when political discourse became an ‘art’ itself and seems to be harder , by every passing day, to ‘grasp’ the right meaning or the true meaning that stands beyond the multitude of critical political statements.
