Explorations in Political Discourse Methodological and Critical Perspectives

The book presents an application of inductive and deductive research modes in an analysis of political discourse. The discussion is illustrated with text samples from inaugural addresses of US presidents and various speeches given by prominent NATO politicians. It is argued that both analytic approaches have their inherent inadequacies, which poses a need for an integrated research mode. Also, numerous observations are made about the rhetoric of the analyzed text types.Cap, Piotr is the author of 'Explorations in Political Discourse Methodological and Critical Perspectives', published 2002 under ISBN 9783631389379 and ISBN 363138937X.
