The Language of Politics

"The Language of Politics" takes a clear and analytical look at the language used by contemporary politicians. The book begins with an examination of how both politicians and commentators describe political stances. This is followed by an exploration of some of the most common linguistic features to be found in political speeches. Electioneering is examined through various written texts, including manifestos, posters, and pamphlets. A final section looks at how politicians answer questions.
