Abstract:
Human beings are political animals.
They are also articulate mammals.
How are these two aspects linked?
This is a question that is only beginning to be explored. The present
collection makes a contribution to the investigations into the use of
language in those situations which, informally and intuitively, we
call "political". Such an approach is revealing not only for politics
itself but also for the human language capacity. Each chapter
outlines a particular method or analytic approach and illustrates its
application to a contemporary political issue, institution or mode of
political behaviour. As a whole, the collection aims to give a sample
of current research in the field. It will interest those who are
beginning to carry the research paradigm forward, as well as provide
an introduction for newcomers, whether they come from neighbouring or
remote disciplines or from none.
