It has often been claimed that politicians use unclear language, full of metaphors. In this seminar we will take a linguistic perspective on some (famous) speeches by (equally famous) politicians to see what is special about them, but we will also analyse other political language use as in slogans, posters, manifestos and parliamentary debates. What we will always consider in such analyses is, of course, the socio-cultural background of the origin of such slogans, speeches, manifestos, etc. |
