Abstract :This study, which analyses the transformation in the political discourse of the Justice and Development Party, which proceeds along the line of liberal-conservative values, focuses on the real political developments between 2009 and 2016. It is witnessed that the liberal-conservative discourse, which started to transform after 2009, evolved towards a nationalist direction and became more imperious. 2010 is an important milestone in the fight against tutelage and legal regulations. While the Justice and Development Party has undertaken important reforms in the fields of human rights, democracy, women\'s rights, fight against corruption and public sector, it has unabatedly continued its regulations and policies in the fields of military and law. When the imperative tenses reflected in political discourse are blended with words such as “we will” and “we will be” in the future tense, an embracing and commanding style of expression has emerged. However, the political language constructed with this style of discourse, combined with the charismatic leadership of the party leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has become an important strategy in influencing voters. In this framework, the aim of this study is to analyse the impact of the real political developments between 2009 and 2016 on the language of political discourse.
