LINGUIST List 22.3791 Wed Sep 28 2011 Qs: Emotional Appeals in Political Discourse Editor for this issue: Brent Woo <bwoolinguistlist.org> We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Directory         1.     Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen , Emotional Appeals in Political Discourse Message 1: Emotional Appeals in Political Discourse Date: 23-Sep-2011 From: Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen <Maj-Britt.MosegaardHansenmanchester.ac.uk> Subject: Emotional Appeals in Political Discourse E-mail this message to a friend I'll be teaching a directed-readings module on political discourse this semester. The students would like to dedicate a session to the issue of emotional appeals in politicians' speeches. Would anyone be able to recommend 2-3 texts on or relevant to that topic (articles and/or book chapters, but not whole books) that would be appropriate for an MA-student without prior exposure to discourse analysis? Thanks very much in advance! I'll post a summary of replies to the list.
