Abstract:

Politicians enact three main roles in political discourse - narrator,
interlocutor and character - to achieve specific goals. This book explains
these roles and how they constitute discursive strategies, correlating with
political aims. In short: politicians evoke voices in discourse to
strategically position themselves in relation to social actors and events. The
book describes these strategies and analyzes the manner in which they are
employed by three very different politicians - Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and
George W. Bush. The roles are studied cross-culturally and from different
ideological backgrounds.

This book explains how political ideologies are constructed, defined and
redefined by linguistic means, showing specific ways in which politicians
manipulate language to achieve the goals on their political agenda. It applies
new methodological approaches to the analysis of political discourse and also
contributes to the sparse literature on political discourse analysis of
Spanish-speaking politicians.
