    languaging appears to be to use words and phrases for maximum emotional effect, to change the 'language' of a speech, and to create new phrases.

    "Martin gained an important ally in GOP pollster Frank Luntz, whose polling revealed that 'death tax' sparked voter resentment in a way that 'inheritance tax' and 'estate tax' couldn't match."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Luntz
