Abstract:

This book sets out a framework for investigating audience responses to
political discourse. It starts from the premise that audiences are active
participants who bring their own background knowledge and political standpoint
to the communicative event. To operationalise this perspective, the volume
draws on concepts from classical rhetoric alongside contemporary research in
cognitive stylistics and cognitive linguistics (including schema theory, Text
World Theory, Cognitive Grammar, and mind-modelling, amongst others). It
examines the role played by the speaker’s identity, the arguments they make,
and the emotions of the audience in the – often critical – reception of
political text and talk, using a diversity of examples to illustrate this
three-dimensional approach – from political speeches, interviews and newspaper
articles, to more creative text-types such as politicised rap music,
television satire and filmic drama. The result of this wide-ranging
application is a holistic and systematic account of the rhetorical and
ideological effects of political discourse in reception.
