This transdisciplinary study gathers research papers that reveal
the multifarious facets of the concept of "persuasion". It is
argued that regardless of its degree of intentionality, the act of
persuasion underlying each information item prompts the
interlocutors to cross the borders of political, historical,
linguistic, narrative, psychotherapeutic, and even marketing
configurations. The contributors' contention is that political
thinking and ideology-grounded linguistic patterns act as a form of
social control, both informing and shaping the sense of identity of
the manipulated masses and of the oppressed. "Taking a
sociolinguistic turn, this volume of interesting scholarly works
addresses matters of ideological loadings in a variety of genres,
contributing to the development of new research paradigms." -
Bledar Toska, University of Vlora "Ismail Qemali"
