Description Accession to EU is associated with adoption of so called eurolanguage. This language should facilitate communication between member countries. However, a more detailed look at the structure of eurolanguage may reveal some similar phenomenon which was occurring during communism - complex sentences, incomprehensible abbreviations, compound words, etc. The fact that the speech of communistic representatives overlaps with eurolanguage in many aspects could tell us a lot not only about the past but also about the future.
