The article deals with the linguistic characteristics of political discourse. It analyzes the dialogues and monologues presented in the political fable "Animal Farm" written by George Orwell. The author of the article argues that the linguistic characteristics of this work are: various forms of vocative expressions, rhetorical questions, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory sentences. The latter is often presented in the form of slogan. These linguistic characteristics are frequently used in the novel and make the work emotionally charged. The author says that vocative expressions are usually presented with the words: comrade, friend, fountain, lord, gentlemen, etc. In some cases we see personal names as well. Repetition of words is also characteristic for these expressions. What concerns to interrogative sentences, they are usually answered by the speakers themselves.
