Abstract:

The activity of parliaments is largely linguistic activity: they
produce talk and they produce texts. Broadly speaking, the objectives
that this discourse aims to satisfy are similar all over the world: to
legitimate or contest legislation, to represent diverse interests, to
scrutinise the activity of government, to influence opinion and to
recruit and promote political actors. But the discourse of different
national parliaments is subject to variation, at all linguistic
levels, on the basis of history, cultural specificity, and political
culture in particular. Through the use of various analytical tools of
functional linguistics, this volume seeks to provide explanatory
analyses of parliamentary discourse in different countries -- Britain,
Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden and the United States -- and to
explore its peculiarities. Each chapter outlines a particular
methodological framework and its application to instances of
parliamentary discourse on important issues such as war, European
integration, impeachment and immigration.
