商品描述
Politics is an inherently symbolic practice. This innovative book advances a framework for the critical analysis of political texts and talk based in cognitive linguistics. Through detailed analyses of attested semiotic practices, it provides a current, comprehensive and authoritative statement on the paradigm of Cognitive Critical Discourse Analysis (Cognitive CDA). The ideological effects of dominant conceptualisations and their implications for the legitimation of social action are explored with reference to political topics that have defined the last decade, including immigration, the rise of nationalism, the right to protest, Brexit and Covid-19. A range of conceptual phenomena are addressed, including image schematic patterning, attentional distribution, viewpoint and metaphor, as they feature in various contexts, genres and modes of political discourse. In a major advancement of the paradigm, the book extends Cognitive CDA to images and gesture to consider the role played by multiple semiotic modes in the discursive performance of politics.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
政治是一種本質上具有象徵意義的實踐。這本創新的書籍以認知語言學為基礎，提出了對政治文本和言談進行批判性分析的框架。通過對已證實的符號實踐進行詳細分析，它提供了一份關於認知批判話語分析（Cognitive CDA）範式的當前、全面且權威的陳述。本書探討了主導概念化的意識形態效應及其對社會行動合法性的影響，並參考了定義過去十年的政治話題，包括移民、民族主義的崛起、抗議權利、脫歐和新冠疫情。本書涵蓋了一系列概念現象，包括形象模式的構圖、注意力分配、觀點和隱喻，以及它們在不同語境、文體和政治話語模式中的特點。在範式的重大進展中，本書將認知批判話語分析擴展到圖像和手勢，以考慮多種符號模式在政治話語表演中所扮演的角色。
