This article explores the linguocognitive analysis of the concept of peace in Suzanne Collins’s “The Hunger Games”. Following the principles of cognitive linguistics and discourse analysis, the author explores how language constructs cultural meanings and shapes readers' perception of the world as a political and psychological category. Through the analysis of metaphors, semantic fields, and linguistic oppositions, this study highlights that the term 'peace' in Collins’s dystopian work functions paradoxically—as a form of state propaganda and psychological control rather than absence of war, or tranquility. The findings reveal that peace in Panem is linguistically and conceptually linked to domination, surveillance, and submission, which challenges the traditional moral, cultural and emotional association of the word. By comparing the political and personal uses of this term, the article demonstrates how cognitive processes and linguistic preferences shape a complex, multilayered conceptualization of the world. Thus, the analysis contributes to an understanding of the ideological manipulation of fundamental human values through language, also the heroine Katniss's desire for genuine inner and outer peace.
