The relativist nature of representation in language has been embraced by many analysts, among whom; the most predominant stance was taken by Fairclough (1989), who criticized political discourse regarding it as “a form of social practice with a malign social purpose”. Examples of such malign social practices have been regarded as “nukespeak”, built on analogy with Orwell’s “newspeak”, and their main assumption was that “if one could manipulate or limit what was possible in language then one could manipulate or limit what was possible in thought” (Wilson: 2001).

 Key words: political discourse, representation, transformation, linguistic manipulation.
