英語でWEASEL WORDSはどんな意味ですか？

イタチ語

Weasel word

ウィーゼル語は、あいまいで曖昧な主張が伝えられたときに特定のおよび/または意味のある陳述がなされた印象を作り出すことを目的とした語句の非公式の用語であり、 声明は挑戦されます。 より正式な用語は不明確です。 完全な主張をするのを避けるために、イタリック語を使用することは、出身国の同義語です。 イタチの言葉は、実際に行われた主張をはるかに超えた意味を暗示することができます。 いくつかのイタチの言葉は、例えば「多少」や「ほとんどの点で」のような控えめな表現を使用して、何らかの控えめな表現によって潜在的に読み込まれた、あるいはそうでなければ論争の声明の力を和らげる効果を有するかもしれない。 ウィーゼルの言葉は、少なくとも短期間では、利点につながると言われていることの誤解を招くような印象を喚起するよう、聴衆に励ます広告や政治的声明に使用される可能性が高い。

A weasel word is an informal term for words and phrases aimed at creating an impression that a specific and/or meaningful statement has been made, when in fact only a vague or ambiguous claim has been communicated, enabling the specific meaning to be denied if the statement is challenged. A more formal term is equivocation. The use of weasel words to avoid making an outright assertion is a synonym to tergiversate. Weasel words can imply meaning far beyond the claim actually being made. Some weasel words may also have the effect of softening the force of a potentially loaded or otherwise controversial statement through some form of understatement, for example using detensifiers such as "somewhat" or "in most respects". Weasel words are likely to be used in advertising and in political statements, where encouraging the audience to develop a misleading impression of what was said can lead to advantages, at least in the short term.
