Abstract:

This book explores the linguistic patterns of conflict, crisis and threat
generation in Polish political rhetoric that have been at the heart of
state-level policies since the Law and Justice (PiS) Party came to power in
October 2015.

Analysing a vast corpus of speeches, statements and remarks by prominent Law
and Justice Party politicians, this book sheds light on internal parliamentary
and presidential discourse against opponents of the government, before
widening its lens to Poland's strained relations with the EU regarding refugee
distribution and immigration. Drawing on theories from contemporary critical
discourse studies and critical-cognitive pragmatics, the book shows how the
crisis, conflict and threat elements in these discourses produce public
coercion and strengthen the Party's leadership.

Piotr Cap extends his argument further to examine discursive examples from
Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Austria, Italy and the UK, highlighting the
correlation between the Law and Justice Party and broader socio-political and
rhetorical trends in contemporary Europe. The result is an authoritative
panorama of the mutual dependencies and shared discursive strategies of
European right-wing groups.
