Political discourse analysis

Tue Dec 4 23:54:59 UTC 2001

Dear,
The following are some of the responses for my inquiry whether anyone of the list members had a copy of van Dijk's paper 'What is political discourse analysis?' In Blommaert and Bulcaen, eds. Political Discourse Analysis. 1998 - Or any other paper about Political Discourse Analysis, if at all there is such a thing as political discourse analysis. So far, I have come across diverse political discourse anlyses and if there is anyone who wants to share them, I'll be happy to send an extensive bibliorgaphy.

Dear colleague,
I do not have the article you mentioned, but most of Teun's papers can be downloaded from his website as drafts or published papers. He has a similar paper on political cognition, which you might be interested in reading.
Actually, he may in person reply to you about that.
Regards

Hi,

You'll find a plethora of information on Van Dijk's home page:
http://www.hum.uva.nl/teun/#Vita

Best,

hey,
you can search for articles on
http://dbix01.dbi-berlin.de:6100/DBI/login.html. if you have found the book or journal, check "holdings". then you can send the library a mail with the bibliographic note and they will send you the article within something like 12 days. sometimes it takes only 3 or 4. it costs something like 6 to 7 euro.

regards, dina

Thank you all for your replies.

Here is my feedback:
1. I am not sure van Dijk publishes online his finished work. He will correct me If I am wrong.

2. I have most of the reference titles Valentyna kindly sent me.

3. Dina's offer is interesting although it is impossible for us down here to pay in hard currency.And it is too much of a hassle to go through the "Office de change" and all the red tape to pay for something that costs 7 Euros.

I hoped to have a soft or a hard copy of the paper, as it sounds from its title that it offers an answer to the question whether there is such a thing as a theory of political discourse analysis or simply studies of political discourse (like any other discourse)from the perspective of Discourse Analysis.
