Abstract
The paper discusses lying as an ordinal function of language in the context of political discourse.To begin with, the phenomenon of lying is regarded as an ordinary linguistic behaviour with a specificfunction for the speaking individual. Based on a variety of empirical data, the aforementionedfunction is thought to be a certain evolutionary strategy that provides concrete advantages (to individuals).
