In the research, the author considers the concept of electoral discourse, its significance and role in society and also raises the question of the importance of studying the language play.

Numerous examples illustrate the language play in the candidates’ speeches. In conclusion, the author decides that the language play allows candidates to manipulate the audience in order to achieve their goals.
