Reviews
This book departs from the premise that the analysis of political discourse is an interdisciplinary field covering linguistics, communication studies, psychology, sociology, anthropology and other disciplines. Such a view provides a multilateral presentation of relationship between politics and discourse in different countries both in verbal and non-verbal modes of interaction. The interdisciplinary scope or research is widened by the synthesis of theoretical frameworks and practical application. Being the insightful volume of papers evolving our understanding of political discourse, the book Discourse and Politics is recommended both for specialists and for a wide range of audiences. - Edward Budaev, PhD, Editor of the journal Political Linguistics The book Discourse and Politics is an edited volume of chapters, based on papers presented at the conference in Seville. The chapters focus on political discourse strategies, on verbal and nonverbal elements in political interaction, and on methods of analysis. This timely volume on political discourse brings together many different approaches and perspectives from many different countries; as such, it is highly to be recommended. - Peter Bull, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of York, UK.
