The Connection Between the Social Hierarchy and the Language. Nationality as a Goal of the Ideological Technologies. // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2006. Issue 4 (55). P. 118-124

The given theoretical statements and the results of the reseach confirm the credibility of the concept of the ideological origin of the connection. The research of the changes of such an anthropo-centred category as “nationality” within the ideological technologies exemplifies the way how the language can be used by the political elite as a power means – a method for constructing or maintaining some social conventions towards the social groups.
