Doublespeak is a term rooted in George Orwell’s writings, defined by Edward S. Herman, and influenced by Orwell’s views on political language. It refers to intentionally ambiguous or misleading language used to disguise the true meaning of something. This deceptive language is frequently employed in various domains, including politics, publicité^[1], comedy, and médias sociaux^[2]. Politicians often use doublespeak in speeches, while advertisers employ it to hide their real intentions. Comedians incorporate it for satirical commentary, and social media platforms use it to bypass content moderation. Doublespeak can manipulate communication patterns, impact consommateur^[3] behavior, and even influence comedy. It’s a concept that reflects the complexity and potential dangers of language misuse.
