| Summary: | This book is the first overview of Romanian political discourse, analyzing samples of various political discourse genres (parliamentary and presidential campaign debates, political programs, political talk shows and festive speeches) and examining public perceptions and reactions to political discourse (protest slogans, memes, press editorials and online comments). The focus is on present-day discursive practices with occasional references to the past. The fourteen chapters of the book are linked together by key concepts, (im)politeness, consensus, conflict, aggressiveness, manipulation, discursive creativity. The theoretical and methodological framework is grounded in the pragma-discursive, interactional and rhetorical perspective. The corpus analyses and case studies reveal the specifics of Romanian political discourse, providing insight into the lesser-known Romanian style of political communication. At the same time, the approach fosters cultural awareness and facilitates comparisons across languages and cultures. Intended for an international readership interested in political discourse and communication, the volume promotes dialogue among researchers, analysts, practitioners and media professionals in global society. |
