Abstract:
Featuring contributions by leading specialists in the field, the volume is a
survey of cutting edge research in genres in political discourse. Since, as is
demonstrated, “political genres” reveal many of the problems pertaining to the
analysis of communicative genres in general, it is also a state-of-the-art
addition to contemporary genre theory. The book offers new methodological,
theoretical and empirical insights in both the long-established genres
(speeches, interviews, policy documents, etc.), and the modern,
rapidly-evolving generic forms, such as online political ads or weblogs. The
chapters, which engage in timely issues of genre mediatization, hybridity,
multimodality, and the mixing of discursive styles, come from a broad range of
perspectives spanning Critical Discourse Studies, pragmatics, cognitive
psychology, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics and media studies. As such,
they constitute essential reading for anyone seeking an interdisciplinary yet
coherent research agenda within the vast and complex territory of today’s
forms of political communication.

Abstract:
In Argumentation in Political Interviews Corina Andone uses the
pragma-dialectical concept of strategic maneuvering to gain a better
understanding of political interviews as argumentative practices. She analyzes
and evaluates the way in which politicians react in political interviews to
the accusation that the position they currently hold is inconsistent with a
position they advanced before. The politicians’ responses to such charges are
examined for their strategic function by concentrating on a number of concrete
cases and explaining how the arguers try to enhance their chances of winning
the discussion. In addition, the soundness criteria are formulated for judging
properly when the politicians’ responses are indeed reasonable.This book is
important to argumentation theorists, discourse analysts, communication
scholars and all other researchers and students interested in the way in which
language is used for the purpose of persuasion in a political context. Corina
Andone is Assistant Professor of Speech Communication, Argumentation Theory
and Rhetoric at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam in
the Netherlands.
