Abstract:

This volume focuses on the study of linguistic manipulation, persuasion and
power in the written texts of professional communication, to go further into
the understanding of how they are constructed, interpreted, used and exploited
in the achievement of specific goals. Such texts are here contemplated from
the stance of genre theory, which starts from the premise that specialised
communities have a high level of rhetorical sophistication, the keys to which
are offered solely to their members. In particular, the book investigates the
communicative devices that serve the need of such professions to exert power
and manipulation, and to use persuasion. The perspective adopted in this work
does not envisage power simply as a distant, alienated and alienating
supremacy from above, but as an everyday, socialized and embodied phenomenon.
To attain its goal, the volume brings forth studies on the language of several
professions belonging to various specialised fields such as law and
arbitration, engineering, economics, advertising, business, politics,
medicine, social work, education and the media.
