ABSTRACT

As is well known, language functions as more than merely the means of communication between human beings by also constituting the web of human thinking. Language must therefore be understood in terms of social context. The purposes of this paper are to examine unravel how Hitler got, maintained and then reinforced power through the use of language. He fully utilized political language as a means of mass agitation and mass manipulation for cultivating worship in himself, strengthening the position of his national socialist party in Germany and thus launching his overall reforms for Germany. political discourses havebeen proved to have rendered great impact on the political actions of the German people during his reign. Nobody would deny that Hitler created image of 'enemies and comrades' through the symbolic use of political language and thus indoctrinated German people with political ideas conducive to consolidating the legitimacy for his system of rule. His political language was designed to expose the negative standpoint of human reason for the final aim of constructing 'Volksgemeinschaft' through the attainment of life-space.
