Mécanismes linguistiques de la configuration de la réalité sociale dans le discours politique roumain
Linguistic mechanisms of the configuration of social reality in Romanian political discourse

Summary/Abstract: Language is a conclusive factor in the shaping of reality and a disputed resource of society. Having a hold of a society’s linguistic resources may guarantee, for instance, the success of a political project. Language’s link to power, thus to those situations in which power is transacted or relations of authority between individuals or groups of individuals are negotiated, leave a mark on the structure of language. We are interested in investigating, from the perspective of the functions of language, what structural characteristics of the ideological discourse participate in the process of closure of meaning.
