Analysing Political Discourse: Theory and Practice
This is an essential read for anyone interested in the way language is used in the world of politics. Based on Aristotle\'s premise that we are all political animals, able to use language to pursue our own ends, the book uses the theoretical framework of linguistics to explore the ways in which we think and behave politically. Contemporary and high profile case studies of politicians and other speakers are used, including an examination of the dangerous influence of a politician\'s words on the defendants in the Stephen Lawrence murder trial.International in its perspective, Analysing Political Discourse also considers the changing landscape of political language post-September 11, including the increasing use of religious imagery in the political discourse of, amongst others, George Bush.Written in a lively and engaging style, this book provides an essential introduction to political discourse analysis. 14 Line drawings, black and white
