Abstract:
This volume looks at the growing interest of different specialists in the
problems associated with political discourse, in general, and parliamentary
discourse, as one of its major sub-genres, in particular. Its main goal is to
offer a deeper understanding of the diversity of parliamentary practices
across space and time. The papers aim to highlight the role played by local
social and historical factors, ideologies, collective mentalities, and social
psychology in building up culture-specific traditions of political
institutions.
Approaching the problems from a large variety of theoretical perspectives, the
investigations are based on flexible, interdisciplinary, and multi-layered
methodologies, offering an image of the multifaceted manifestations of
parliamentary debates.
The volume addresses specialists in several fields, such as linguistics,
discourse analysis, history, political science, sociology, (social)
anthropology, (social) psychology, media and communication.
