Analysing Political Speeches by Jonathan Charteris-Black
Considers how traditional approaches such as cohesion and classical rhetoric may be integrated with 'critical' approaches to discourse analysis such as critical metaphor analysis. Presents a range of critical and discourse theories and considers the relationships between linguistic features of speeches and their social and cultural contexts.
“This book comprehensively overviews three prominent branches of studies on political speechIt is thus a very good entry-level book that can be used as a textbook for students who are interested in the analysis of political speeches. … this is an excellent a book which drives home both traditional and recent approaches to the analysis of political speeches.” (Jiayu Wang, Journal of Language and Politics, Vol. 17 (3), 2018)
