Summary/Abstract: In the article, the national elections in Slovakia, that took place March 5th 2016, are being analyzed. The author concentrates first of all on basic linguistic units that are used to provide evaluation of the leaders of eight major political parties. They were the parties that succeeded in getting into the Parliament of the Slovak Republic. Thus eight political leaders create a certain linguistic picture of Slovak politics of our time. We have used the main Slovak press representatives the daily newspapers Pravda and Sme a weekly magazine .týždeň and several of the major TV stations as the source of our research.
