Abstract

The more open and democratic the life of  society is, the more attention is paid to the language of politics. It is subjected to changes depending on the historical period: some words and expressions disappear from active use, others take their place. This process is caused by attempt of political forces to emphasize the novelty of the political system, their views and beliefs, and to maintain their impact on the audience. In the texts of political discourse these attempts are expressed explicitly and implicitly. Translation of such texts often causes difficulties, because their lexical and grammatical composition requires careful selection of translation equivalents.
