Politics represents a part of human activity that affects many other areas of society and therefore requires a special use of language, that differs from the everyday language. The language of politics is rich in rhetorical devices that help to engage in conversations about sensitive issues that can be crucial in political discussions. Politically active people tend to use broad terms with general meaning with an ambiguous effect to fulfill one of the most important tasks of political communication, which is to influence public opinion. Euphemisms as inoffensive and softening expressions are mostly used for this purpose and their performance rests on three different aspects: ambiguity, vocabulary from different subject areas, and numerous linguistic forms through which they can be realized. In the process of creating a euphemism, words from everyday language acquire new functions and therefore new, softening meanings. This change in meaning lays its foundations in connotation. Terms that already have their denotative meaning in the vocabulary are given a new meaning depending on the context which they are euphemised in. The goal is to create a term with a seemingly moral and socially acceptable meaning, which, as a connotative meaning, should evoke positive emotions in recipients (in political language, the recipient is the public). The positive meaning of euphemisms can have different pragmatic functions, among which the most salient is the concealing and disguising function. To determine the function, it is important to examine the context of a given euphemism. Political euphemisms are created according to the political area they appear in, which can be divided into two main areas: domestic and foreign policy of a particular country. Euphemisms in politics are generally used to influence public opinion and win electorate votes, as well as to conceal the negative effects of certain political actions.
