« La langue de bois » dans le discours politique

The new “wood language” that theorizes the political discourse makes use of stereotypical formulas because it repeats obsessively some words until they become meaningless. This is the effect of a way of speaking, of using “the latest fashion terms” in the political discourse, on the one hand, and in the usual discourse, on the other hand, both aspects showing the lack of culture and the spreading of bare forms. Far from this rigid language reflected in the real political discourse and in the unjustified adoption of foreign words, the remains of a language can be identified today in linguistic language with the accentuated nationalist violence and discourse. On the other hand, there is the reverse phenomenon of a rebellious and anti-stereotypical position, also supported by the media.
