In this accessible new textbook, Isabela and Norman Fairclough
present their innovative approach to analysing political
discourse.
Political Discourse Analysis integrates analysis of arguments
into critical discourse analysis and political discourse analysis.
The book is grounded in a view of politics in which deliberation,
decision and action are crucial concepts: politics is about
arriving cooperatively at decisions about what to do in the context
of disagreement, conflict of interests and values, power
inequalities, uncertainty and risk.
The first half of the book introduces the authorsOCO new
approach to the analysis and evaluation of practical arguments,
while the second half explores how it can be applied by looking at
examples such as government reports, parliamentary debates,
political speeches and online discussion forums on political
issues. Through the analysis of current events, including a
particular focus on the economic crisis and political responses to
it, the authors provide a systematic and rigorous analytical
framework that can be adopted and used for studentsOCO own
research.
This exciting new text, co-written by bestselling author Norman
Fairclough, is essential reading for researchers, upper
undergraduate and postgraduate students of discourse analysis,
within English language, linguistics, communication studies,
politics and other social sciences.
