ABSTRACT:
The article is devoted to analyzing theoretical, methodological, practical and empirical parameters of the interconnection among language, politics and power, including through the prism of ideology. The author affirmed that language is a driving force for changing politics and society, because it influences and depends on them.At the same time, it was stated that language as an instrument of influence and social differentiation is certainly political, but it can also be politicized.
