Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with the construction of identity in Romanian political / public discourse. The analysis is done from the perspective of cognitive linguistics, more specifically, that of the theory of conceptual blending, as proposed by Mark Turner and Gilles Fauconnier (1994, 1997, 2002). Concepts such as mental spaces, blended spaces, conceptual metaphors are central to our analysis and help us deconstruct the process of buiding the identitity in Romanian public discourse, the way it is reflected in party slogans, political speeches, press articles or TV shows.
