This edited volume analyzes political speeches in the last thirty
years from a discourse perspective. In real and fictitious political
speeches, as important as the contents,
are the emotions these texts elicit, moving audiences to support a
running candidate or to
endorse a political decision. By political speeches we encompass
political speeches given
in political meetings and rallies as well as parliamentary discourse
in various legislative
bodies in real life or in fiction contexts. Public authorities’
declarations and statements
can also be considered. All these texts may be oral or in written
form. While our focus is
on political discourse in English-speaking contexts (L1, L2 or EFL),
we also welcome
submissions that offer a comparative perspective between, for example,
EU parliamentary
discourse vs. American Congress speeches.
Potential submissions may address the following questions (although
not limited to):
- What are the most common ideas in political discourse?
- What pragmatic strategies do speakers employ?
- What discourse analysis conventions are observed? Which are
flounted?
- How do speakers engage their audiences? What strategies do they use?
- How do speakers appeal to their audiences? Do they appeal to their
emotions, to
their feelings, to their rational thoughts?
- How can the language in political discourse be characterized? What
register
does it belong to?
- What implicatures are used?
- How is persuasive language employed?
- How are inferences used? How does the speaker imply information? How
is
presupposition used?
- How is politeness conveyed?
- How is the linguistic adaptation theory put into practice in
political speeches?

DEADLINES
Submission of proposals – please submit a 500/1,000-word proposal
along with your information and a biographical statement (approx.
100/200 words) by March 1,
2025.
After acceptance, contributors are expected to submit final book
chapters (6,000/8,000
words, including references and footnotes) by December 1, 2025.
Strong interest in this volume has been expressed by a leading
academic publisher. More
information will be given to prospective contributors as details are
finalized and a contract
is secured.
