Sažetak
In this paper we analyse some strategies of manipulative use of language in the Kemalist discourse on the example of a newspaper text that talks about the ban on wearing headscarves at the universities in the Republic of Turkey. The manipulative potential of language is most vividly realized in manipulative discourses, which represent the basic means of reproducing totalitarian ideologies. One such ideology is the ideology of the Kemalist elite in Turkey, which built and defended its hegemony both by using different forms of coercion (high courts, coups, various bans, etc.) and by reproducing the Kemalist ideology through the education system and the media. The ban on wearing headscarves at universities and other public institutions was lifted in 2013, but the issue is still relevant in the socio-political life of Turkey. The main conclusion of the paper is that the basic manipulative strategy in the analysed text is based on concealing agency and, consequently, denying the responsibility of the Kemalist elite for discrimination against female students who wear headscarves. That conclusion confirms the justification and necessity of including the linguistic apparatus in the research of social phenomena.
