“…Iš daugelio tyrimų išsiskiria sociolingvistinė turkų politikų rinkiminių kampanijų analizė (Uzum & Uzum 2010), kurioje orientuotasi ne į kitų kalbų intarpų vartojimo motyvaciją, bet formaliąsias jų charakteristikas: skoliniai tirti pagal dažnį, kalbos dalį, kirčiavimą, fonologines variacijas, vietą sakinyje, vartojimo kontekstą. Vis dėlto kodų kaita politiniame diskurse dažniausiai aptariama iš politinės komunikacijos perspektyvos.…”

The article presents the study of political communication on social network “Facebook”. The object of the study is the motivation of using Russian inserts and potential influence on the effectiveness of the discourse. Effectiveness is related to the persuasion, the goal of the addressee in the communication process and the main concept of rhetoric, therefore, a rhetorical discourse analysis was used for the research. The focus of the presented research is on Russian language inserts in the posts by Lithuanian politicians published on the social network “Facebook”. The purpose of the research is to discuss the rhetorical value of Russian inserts. Inserts are elements of another language inserted into the main language, in this case Russian words (both authentic and adapted form), parts of words, text fragments. After examining over 100 Russian language inserts in the records of native Lithuanian politicians, two trends have emerged: 1) Russian language inserts in politicians’ records are deliberately used as means of stylistic expression, helping to imitate natural, informal speech, as well as creating contextual discourse; 2) Russian language is used as a way to express political attitudes and value positions.

“…Kementchedjhieva believed this to be due to the Prime Minister's desire to seem authoritative while also portraying an image of a 'regular guy' who can connect with common people. Similarly, Uzum and Uzum (2010) studied how Turkish politicians borrowed words from a variety of languages in their campaign speeches. They examined what types of words were borrowed (nouns, verbs, etc.…”

“…They examined what types of words were borrowed (nouns, verbs, etc. ), the position of the word in the sentence, the context of its use, frequency, stress, and phonological variation of each word (Uzum & Uzum 2010). Their analysis revealed that borrowed words constituted 42% of the dialogue of Turkish politicians during speeches; nouns were borrowed the most frequently, were emphasized more heavily than Turkish words, and were most often used in the middle of sentences (Uzum & Uzum 2010).…”

Swahili and English code-switching and storytelling in Tanzanian campaign speeches was analyzed by Bwenge (2009); he found that ethnic roots, membership to a certain group or culture, and personal educational attainment were all interplayed within the discourse of Tanzanian politicians.…”

Language and Ideology is an area of critical discourse analysis that has increasingly gained importance in the linguistic sciences. The vast influence of the media has provided a need for the explicit analysis of common linguistic mechanisms, particularly those in political discourse. Codeswitching, general pattern in a speech community of switching between two or more available languages or dialects with respect to certain extralinguistic factors (Blom & Gumperz 1972) is strategically employed by politicians to gain support for elections (Jarraya 2013; Craig 2013). Senator Tim Kaine was one of the first White politicians to engage in code-switching during the 2016 presidential election, however his use of Spanish when engaging in political discourse was met with great resistance and skepticism by the media and voters, many of whom felt that he was pandering to Spanish-speaking citizens. Using a language ideologies framework, the present paper seeks to determine how code-switching was used as a political discourse device by Senator Kaine, and how its use varied based on the context of each speech. To answer these questions, four speeches given by Senator Tim Kaine during the 2016 presidential campaign were transcribed and translated. Following descriptive coding procedures by Saldaña (2015), two raters coded instances of codeswitching in each speech for key features of political discourse: a) dissemination of personal information or background; b) repetition; c) hyperbole; d) metaphor; e) metonymy; f) comparisons; 1. promises for the future; h) solidarity; i) legitimization of self as authority; and j) florid verbiage. Results show that Senator Kaine relied most heavily on code-switching during his speech in Miami, Florida, and used it as a tactic to gain support and build solidarity between himself and members of the audience. Additionally, Senator Kaine engaged in much repetition through code-switching to emphasize key points of his speech and political goals. The present study illustrates how codeswitching can be used to cultivate political favor, forge alliances, and demonstrate cultural similarities between White politicians and biand multilingual voters.

“…When political speeches are televised for hours, the debate merely involves policy making or issues of public interest (Kennedy et al, 2021;Erisen & Villalobos, 2014;De Landtsheer & Feldman, 2000). Rather, there are promises of ideal nature about a glorious future with a tint of wishful thinking (Uzum & Uzum, 2010). Political parties vilify opposition, degrade them with abusive language and blame them for being morally corrupt (Hassan et al, 2020).…”

This study attempts to find out the symptoms of post-truth political culture — politics of emotions rather than rational political debate — in the context of Pakistan. The data in the form of political speeches of politicians from March to July 2022 was taken from Youtube. Political speeches of leaders of four main political parties of Pakistan were analyzed: Imran Khan from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Maryam Nawaz from Pakistan Muslim league (PML-N), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari from Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), and Maulana Fazal Ur Rehman from Jamiat-Ulema-Islami (JUI-F). Using the quantitative content analysis method, the content of 26 speeches, consisting of almost 854 minutes, was broken down into nine categories: policy, facts, false statements, religion, party, promises, performance, public issues, and opposition. Agenda setting theory laid the theoretical approach to observe post-truth dilemmas in political speeches in the public processions. The observed categories were compared across all politicians descriptively: the speeches had 2% facts; 4% false statements; 5% discussion on policy making; 41% arguments attacking the opponent political party; 12% religious references; 12% promises; 10% arguments were about the leader’s own political party; 5% were based on their past performance; whilst, only 9% addressed the public issues.
