Produktbeschreibung
This book shows how politicians use language to win the consent of their population. It also shows how they manipulate people to achieve their purposes. In doing so, politicians employ their linguistic capabilities and also their knowledge of the background of their audience to effectively disseminate their political discourse. Politics therefore cannot survive without language. Language is in the core of political activity. That is this book contains two main sections. First, a theoretical outline to the relationship between language and politics on one hand and media and their role in shaping the political discourse analysis of a certain community on the other. Second, a analytical part which shows how editors in the press use headlines to build an image in the mind of his readers and how this image can affect the transmission and reception of the official political discourse as a whole. The role of the editor as discourse mediator and an official representative of the ruling power is also highlighted. This book would be of interest to students of Applied Linguistics, Political Discourse Analysis, and Media discourse.
