Inhalt: Political language is traditionally characterized by its metaphors, by the usage of pronouns to construct in- and out-groups, by evaluative expressions to describe these groups positively and negatively, by characteristic speech acts and by the use of rhetorical devices. By investigating who communicates with whom in which context through which medium to which purpose, we get a more differentiated picture of the topic “political communication”. The various approaches summarized by the term “Critical Discourse Analysis” provide an appropriate framework for the analysis of political language and policital communication. In this class we shall therefore look at some linguistic tools that are important for critical analyses of political texts and apply them to speeches and other genres.
