Exploring the Potential of Integrating George Orwell?s Language Theories into English Courses Designed for Students of Political Science
Original language description
The paper aims to explore the possibilities of incorporating the linguistic work of George Orwell and his followers into a university-level English course intended for students of Political Science. It is based on an attempt to merge two separate and mutually independent disciplines ? English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Orwellian Linguistics. ESP, together with its subfields English for Academic Purposes and English for Occupational Purposes, has developed since the 1960s as an independent field within English Language Teaching (ELT), and research in ESP makes an integral part of applied linguistic research. Independently, theories on the relationship between language and politics and, in particular, language that is used in order to manipulate people?s thoughts and influence their perception of reality, were elaborated throughout the second half of the 20th century.
