This accessible introductory textbook looks at the modern
relationship between politicians, the press and the public through
the language they employ, with extensive coverage of key topics
including: 'spin', 'spin control' and 'image' politics models of
persuasion: authority, contrast, association pseudo-logical and
'post-truth' arguments political interviewing: difficult questions,
difficult answers metaphors and metonymy rhetorical figures humour,
irony and satire Extracts from speeches, soundbites, newspapers and
blogs, interviews, press conferences, election slogans, social
media and satires are used to provide the reader with the tools to
discover the beliefs, character and hidden strategies of the
would-be persuader, as well as the counter-strategies of their
targets. This book demonstrates how the study of language use can
help us appreciate, exploit and protect ourselves from the art of
persuasion. With a wide variety of practical examples on both
recent issues and historically significant ones, every topic is
complemented with guiding tasks, queries and exercises with keys
and commentaries at the end of each unit. This is the ideal
textbook for all introductory courses on language and politics,
media language, rhetoric and persuasion, discourse studies and
related areas.
Corpus linguistics has now come of age and Corpus Approaches to
Discourse equips students with the means to question, defend and
refine the methodology. Looking at corpus linguistics in discourse
research from a critical perspective, this volume is a call for
greater reflexivity in the field. The chapters, each written by
leading authorities, contain an overview of an emerging area and a
case-study, presenting practical advice alongside theoretical
reflection. Carefully structured with an introduction by the
editors and a conclusion by leading researcher, Paul Baker, this is
key reading for advanced students and researchers of corpus
linguistics and discourse analysis.

This book fills a significant gap in the field by addressing the
topic of absence in discourse. It presents a range of proposals as
to how we can identify and analyse what is absent, and promotes the
empirical study of absence and silence in discourse. The authors
argue that these phenomena should hold a more central position in
the field of discourse, and discuss these two topics at length in
this innovative edited collection. It will appeal to students and
scholars interested in discourse analysis and critical discourse
analysis.
