Summary/Abstract: The parliamentary elections took place in Slovakia in March 2011 and in Poland in autumn 2011. The elections are connected with many propaganda materials, TV appearances, newspaper articles, billboards, etc. In the article, we discussed the language of political texts. We compared written texts in two close languages – Polish and Slovak. The issue of political communication was addressed by many Polish linguists, e.g. Bralczyk described the language of politicians of the previous regime. We were especially interested in the lexis: metaphors, neologisms, syntax, etc. Towards the end of the article, we briefly mention the use of these texts in the didactic process – in the course of translation.
