Doublespeak

Doublespeak adalah bahasa yang dengan sengaja mengaburkan, menutupi, membelokkan, atau memutar balik makna kata. Doublespeak bisa berbentuk eufemisme (e.g. "perampingan" yang berarti pemecatan massal, "penataan" yang berarti penggusuran^[1]) yang tujuan utamanya adalah membuat kenyataan pahit tampak menyenangkan. Doublespeak juga mengacu pada ketaksaan sengaja dalam bahasa atau pembalikan makna untuk mengaburkan kenyataan. Doublespeak sering dikaitkan dengan bahasa politik.^[2]^[3]
