Linguistic And Cultural Aspects Of Political Terminology: Formation, Development, And Classification

Abstract

Political terminology, situated at the intersection of linguistics, culture, and ideology, plays a pivotal role in shaping political discourse and public perception. This study examines the formation, development, and classification of political terms from a linguoculturological perspective. The research integrates linguistic analysis, cultural contextualization, and comparative methodology to explore how political terms emerge, evolve, and acquire meaning across socio-political environments. Data were collected from political speeches, academic texts, and multilingual dictionaries, covering both historical and contemporary contexts. Findings reveal that political terminology is an open, dynamic system whose growth is driven by socio-political transformations, cultural shifts, and ideological needs. A proposed classification model groups terms by origin, semantic field, and cultural specificity, providing a framework for further cross-linguistic studies. The study contributes to political linguistics by bridging linguistic theory with cultural analysis and offers practical implications for translation, political communication, and lexicography.
