Rezumat

The problematics of the powers exercised by the languages in the society is quite fascinating given the fact that the communication has a certainly decisive impact on the history of civilisations, countries, communities. As we have previously mentioned, the political power of the language is exercised through the legislative and regulatory texts and mostly through the speeches delivered by the politicians. The speech “writers” are the shadow “heroes” of the political power of the language. They are true intellectuals who elaborate such speeches, on a by-order basis of course, and select the very words conveying meanings that are oftentimes rather transparent or deliberately ambiguous, according to the politicians’ views and programs. It is up to the receivers-voters to grasp the implied meanings delivered by the speakers, and, where it is impossible to reveal the true meaning of the words, the intellectuals are there to help them. The intellectual’s duty, in his own words, is to “lessiver, laver les mots” [wash, cleanse the words]. That is to say, the intellectual is capable, provided that he has the courage, of giving the actual meaning back to the words, their “true” meaning and of untying the “fake” meaning that the dominant power wants to impart to them and impose on the dominated. The speeches of the great political leaders, especially during the election campaigns, prove that the language does have a real political power. Nevertheless, the exegesis of the political discourse, often performed in real time and mostly during the election campaigns, needs some time-lag in order to attain the uttermost degree of objectivity. Such time lapse would allow for proper “washing” of the words and their meanings so that their essence could be deducted.
