The Language of Persuasion
in Politics
This accessible introductory textbook looks at the modern relationship
between politicians, the press and the public through the language they
employ, with extensive coverage of key topics including:
• ‘spin’, ‘spin control’ and ‘image’ politics
• models of persuasion: authority, contrast, association
• pseudo-logical and ‘post-truth’ arguments
• political interviewing: difficult questions, difficult answers
• metaphors and metonymy
• rhetorical figures
• humour, irony and satire
Extracts from speeches, soundbites, newspapers and blogs, interviews, press
conferences, election slogans, social media and satires are used to provide
the reader with the tools to discover the beliefs, character and hidden strate-
gies of the would-be persuader, as well as the counter-strategies of their
targets. This book demonstrates how the study of language use can help us
appreciate, exploit and protect ourselves from the art of persuasion.
With a wide variety of practical examples on recent issues relating to the
US, UK and Europe, every topic is complemented with guiding tasks and
queries with keys and commentaries at the end of each Unit. This is the
ideal textbook for all introductory courses on language and politics, media
language, rhetoric and persuasion, discourse studies and related areas.
