Abstract
Political euphemism, as a politicians’ tool for disguising unappealing truths and even shaping public opinion by replacing unfavorable expressions, has become quite assimilated in a human language usage. Phrases such as “negative growth” and “workforce adjustment” have spread world-widely, no matter which political party has the current power. This paper aims to discuss the circumstances and the reasons of its frequent use, its usage on different syntactic levels, its features and social functions, its hazards and possible ways of avoiding it; the argument concerning in both English and Spanish speaking countries.
Abstract (croatian)
Poitički eufemizam, kao sredstvo političara za prikrivanje neugodnih istina, pa čak i oblikovanja javnom mnijenja zamjenjivanjem nepovoljnih izraza, postao je prilično usvojen u jezičnoj upotrebi. Fraze kao što su “negativan rast” i “prilagođavanje radne snage” raširile su se po čitavom svijetu, bez obzira na političku stranku koja je trenutno na vlasti. Cilj ovog rada je raspraviti okolnosti i razloge njihove česte uporabe, upotrebu na različitim sintaktičkim razinama, njihove značajke i funkcije, opasnosti i moguće načine da se izbjegnu. Rasprava se obuhvaća kako englesko tako i španjolsko govorno područje.
