Decoding Political Discourse
Details
This book provides an in-depth look into the cognitive and argumentative nature of political discourse with a focus on the role and place of conceptual metaphors in practical argumentation. Neagu's empirical investigation centres on the corpus of the American Presidential debates in 2008 and speeches by Barack Obama from 2009-2011.
"This is a valuable addition to the existing literature on cognitive and argumentative approaches to political discourse." - Isabela Fairclough, University of Central Lancashire, UK
