Abstract: The research is aimed at revealing the
linguo-discursive features of political interaction within the
framework of liberal-democratic ideological communication in
the modern perspective. The task of substantiating the key
foundations for the perception of language of political ideology as
a linguo-discursive process of mutual adaptation of the state and
civil society as subjects of political communication is addressed.
The study is anchored in the neoclassical scientific paradigm,
within which framework critical rethinking of the political
discourse-analysis methodology is carried out. We proceed from
the fact that ideology is a representation of a certain set of
language elements, so the study of the ideology language serves to
reconstruct the discursive base of ideology and the imperatives
underlying it. It is shown that the study of language of political
ideologies engenders the emergence of parallel centers of power in
the sphere of statehood. The growth of destructive elements of
communicative interactions in liberal democratic society is
revealed, in particular an increase in the discursive means that
serve an effective tool of denying the democratic process is
identified. his study can be useful in the area of political science,
namely in the political practice of liberal-democratic society. The
findings are applicable in establishing the factors of destruction of
social and political dialogue. In this context, the research can
offer solutions, provide resources for politicians and
organizations in optimizing the dialogue of political
communication subjects. Drawing from Freeden’s morphological
approach of studying the ideological discourse, as well as critical
discourse studies of van Dijk, the research bridges the gap
between the studies of the classical philosophical thought and
neoclassical scientific paradigm in comprehending the role of
political ideologies language. The current study urges a critical
rethinking of methodology of political discourse analysis.
Keywords: civil society, liberal democracy, political
communication, political ideology, political science.
I. INTRODUCTION
Today, the issue of “language and ideology” is
experiencing a real resurgence, provoked by social upheavals,
change of political and economic regimes, disappearance of
some and intensification of the other ideologies in different
regions of the modern world, and respective reflection of
these changes in language. The philosophical study of various
aspects of ideology is an objective need, stemming from
qualitative changes in the modern society, in particular from
its informational and communicative nature. Under these

conditions, ideology becomes an indispensable institution in
life of modern states and the society as a whole. The topicality
of this issue is also determined by the fact that the study of
political ideologies phenomenon, especially their language in
the context of modern Western society, makes it possible to
establish a productive inter-civilization dialogue as the only
possible way to overcome multiple crises, which have marked
the globalization processes. It is the language of ideology that
can develop a platform of coexistence acceptable to everyone
[1], which would ensure multidisciplinary framework
drawing on social, cognitive and discursive conditions [2].
The multidimensionality and relevance of this issue are
confirmed by discussions presented in modern publications
on philosophy, political science, law, cultural studies,
sociology, and other knowledge domains. Research papers of
a number of researchers [3]-[8] give the most fundamental
insights into this issue. Conceptualization of ideology in the
modern world is inextricably linked with the processes that
take place in another important object of research, language
of politics.
The philosophical foundations of political ideology, the
basic principles and laws of its development, the structure of
existing ideological concepts have been analyzed in works of
such Ukrainian and foreign researchers [9]-[11. According to
[9], the study of ideology should be conducted within the
framework of a multidisciplinary structure that combines
social, cognitive and discursive components. In the social and
cognitive aspects, ideologies, or “systems of ideas”, are
defined as fundamental understandings of the world. They are
the basis for self-assessment of a social group and they define
identity, goals, norms and resources of social groups. In work
[10] author maintains the same position. In his works,
ideology is displayed as one of the key factors that determine
development of societies and, together with politics, ethics,
religion, external influences, enable movement of societies
along various trajectories of historical development. It is
logical that, in the context of formation of an
information-oriented society, examination of ideology
through the lens of trends of globalization, intercultural
communicative, changes in discursive practices becomes
relevant [12], since ideology is based on the idea of changing
the world and galvanizing into action, even a false or
destructive action. Author in [13] considers the
aforementioned issue in the context of network-based nature
of modern communication ties, and states that the
anthropological content of the public sphere of politics is
gaining now in critical importance.
Numerous studies of modern
researchers confirm that in the
days of rapid political change,
