Abstract:

This book proposes a new theory (“proximization theory”) in the area of
political/public legitimization discourse. Located at the intersection of
Pragmatics, Cognitive Linguistics and critical approaches, the theory holds
that legitimization of broadly consequential political/public policies, such
as pre-emptive interventionist campaigns, is best accomplished by forced
construals of virtual external threats encroaching upon the speaker and her
audience’s home territory. The construals, which proceed along spatial,
temporal and axiological lines, are forced by strategic deployment of
lexico-grammatical choices drawn from the three domains. This proposal is
illustrated primarily in the in-depth analysis of the 2001-2010 US discourse
of the War-on-Terror, and secondarily in a number of pilot studies pointing to
a wide range of further applications (environmental discourse, health
communication, cyber-threat discourse, political party-representation). The
theory and the empirical focus of the book will appeal to researchers working
on interdisciplinary projects in Pragmatics, Semantics, Cognitive Linguistics,
Critical Discourse Studies, as well as Journalism and Media Studies.
