Pragmatic peculiarities of the language of politics
Abstract
The article outlines the stratification of the language of politics founded on its functions in society. It offers a short overview of the pragmatics-based analytical methods of the language of politics including interdisciplinary political discourse
analysis. It highlights that key words and symbols of politics are interpreted diversely by different language users in the discourse community. The language of politics is also examined as a case of language planning, which is illustrated by two translation-related homepages of the European Union.
