Summary/Abstract: The text analyzes how language affects people’s knowledge of reality, and thus their definition of the situation they find themselves in and to which they respond as to a set of stimuli, making decisions related to their own responses and actions. The author assumes that a situation in which an individual takes part is not an objective but a subjective phenomenon. The text’s theoretical assumptions reference the theories of sociology of knowledge, sociolinguistics and political psychology.
