This paper explores the functional perspective of language and its impact on communication. The author examines the linguistic material used in different communicative contexts and highlights the importance of pragmatic structures in political communication. The paper draws on the work on pragmatics authored by Van Dijk, who identifies linguistic units that align with the speaker's and listener's goals. The author also discusses the factors that influence the choice of linguistic means in communication. This paper concludes that appropriateness depends on linguistic frames actualized in a particular situation, and linguistic frames are detected and analyzed to describe the way material reality is verbalized in a way that is appropriate for modern community. Exclusions from the theory will serve as a source for further research.
