Abstract:

This book, the first systematic exploration of the third person in English,
German, and French, takes a fresh look at person reference within the realm of
political discourse. By focusing on the newly refined speech role of the
target, attention is given to the continuity between second and third
grammatical persons as a system. The role played by third-person forms in
creating and maintaining interpersonal relationships in discourse has been
surprisingly overlooked. Until now, third-person forms have overwhelmingly
been considered as referring to the absent, i.e. to someone outside the
communication situation, other than the speaker or the hearer: the
“nonperson”. By broadening the scope and finally integrating the third person,
we come to understand "The Politics of Person Reference" fully, and to see the
strategic, argumentative, and dialogical nature of the act of referring to
other discourse participants, understood as the act of creating new referents.
