Voting hides a familiar puzzle. Many people take the trouble to
vote even though each voter's prospect of deciding the election is
nearly nil. Russians vote even when pervasive electoral fraud
virtually eliminates even that slim chance. The right to vote has
commonly been won by protesters who risked death or injury even
though any one protester could have stayed home without lessening
the protest's chance of success. Could people vote or protest
because they stop considering their own chances and start to think
about an identity shared with others? If what they hear or read
affects political identity, a shift in political discourse might
not just evoke protests and voting but also make the minority that
has imposed the dictator's will suddenly lose heart. During the
Soviet Union's final years the cues that set communist discourse
apart from standard Russian sharply dwindled. A similar convergence
of political discourse with local language has preceded expansion
of the right to vote in many states around the globe. Richard D.
Anderson, Jr., presents a groundbreaking theory of what language
use does to politics.
