This edited book is an innovative collection of
studies—pioneering scholarship systematically exploring the
various features of debasement language used by
political leaders in their speeches, statements, and remarks
during parliamentary and other official as well
as unofficial, private activities. The book examines in
particular the forms, functions, and effects of political
debasement in Western and non-Western countries, including
Spain, Malaysia, the UK, Japan, China,
India, Montenegro, Greece, Poland, and Israel. It
addresses the growing interest in recent years in issues related to
the increase of debasement in the public sphere. These include
high-echelon politicians’ invective and vulgarity
toward their colleagues in houses of parliament; their abusive and
cynical language toward sections of the public, including women and
minorities; and their crude sarcasm and irony expressed toward
media representatives. The book focuses on those instances
where political leaders at the very
highest-level employ debasement discourse; it
identifies the specific language they use in different political
cultures and under different situations;Â the reasons
for using this type of language; and its
consequences. The book brings together a team of
distinguished political scientists, communication and
linguistics researchers, and social and political psychologists,
with expert backgrounds and experience in understanding the
reciprocal interaction between language and politics, in this case:
debasement. They discuss and provide a number of novel
insights of theoretical and practical importance regarding debasing
discourse, as well as potential avenues for future research on the
nature and effect of this type of language.
