Abstract:

This book presents a new approach to comparative politico-linguistic discourse
analysis. It takes a transdisciplinary stance and combines analytical tools
from linguistic discourse analysis (keywords, metaphors, argumentation, genre)
and political science (political culture, comparative politics, ideologies).
It is comprehensive in its introduction of approaches from the German
tradition of politico-linguistics. This tradition has not, thus far, been
accessible to a non-German speaking readership and hence the volume adds
insights into the mechanics of political discourse from a diverse set of
viewpoints. 

The book analyses the modernisation discourses in social democratic parties in
Britain and Germany between 1994 and 2003, a project that was named ‘Third
Way’. It demonstrates how political language and political culture are related
and how politicians will adapt a global ideology to local political
circumstances in order to convince the electorate. At the same time, the book
presents new insights into the German political culture and the version of
Third Way discourses in the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) under the
leadership of Gerhard Schröder which have played a key role in shaping current
political discourse in Germany. It concludes with a model for the study of
political discourse which makes the work relevant to scholars in Social
Sciences and beyond.
