Your Definition
Language shaped and constrained by ideology to the point where only ideologically approved terms, phrases, and framings are considered legitimate. Ideospeak replaces descriptive language with ideological signaling; certain words become obligatory, others forbidden. It makes genuine debate difficult because speakers cannot step outside the approved vocabulary without being accused of ignorance or heresy. Ideospeak is common in highly polarized communities, both online and offline, where the very words you use mark you as an insider or an outsider.
