People construct structures out of words that are not only aimed to make sense but also to serve more specific purposes. They choose from the multitude of available structures those that will determine a specific interpretation to ensure the achievement of their objective. People have come to master these choices and, consciously or not, they manipulate their interpretation so as to convey additional meanings. They thus empower language not only reflecting but also influencing the social context in which it is produced.
Key words:
linguistic choice, manipulation, military discourse
