Summary/Abstract: Analyzed under the rigorous principles of scientific terminology, today’s political lexicon stands out as a type of terminology in progress, characterized on one hand as an open code, and on the other, as possessing contextual mobility leading to the immediate effect of ambiguity of meaning. The present paper aims at examining the relation between clichés and lexical innovation in the contemporary political discourse, as well as its representation in the Romanian written media.
