Abstract

This article explores the relationship between language, power, and discourse in political communication within the context of Pakistan. It investigates how political actors strategically use language to construct political narratives, influence public opinion, and assert power. By examining the language used in political speeches, media coverage, and social media platforms, the study delves into how political communication shapes national discourse and political identities. Drawing on discourse analysis, the article provides insights into the role of language in reinforcing or challenging power structures in Pakistani politics. The findings reveal the interplay between language and power in framing political issues and influencing the electorate's perceptions
