This first overview of Romanian political discourse analyzes genres from parliamentary debates to protest memes. The analysis reveals the specifics of the lesser-known Romanian style of political communication, fostering cultural awareness for an international readership.
This book is the first overview of Romanian political discourse, analysing samples of various political discourse genres (parliamentary and presidential campaign debates, political programs, political talk-shows, and festive speeches) and examining public perceptions and reactions to political discourse (protest slogans, memes, press editorials, and online comments). The focus is on present-day discursive practices with occasional references to the past. The 14 chapters of the book are linked together by key-concepts: (im)politeness, consensus – conflict – aggressiveness, manipulation, discursive creativity. The theoretical and methodological framework is grounded in the pragma-discursive, interactional, and rhetorical perspective. The corpus analyses and case studies reveal the specifics of Romanian political discourse, providing insight into the lesser-known Romanian style of political communication. At the same time, the approach fosters cultural awareness and facilitates comparisons across languages and cultures. Intended for an international readership interested in political discourse and communication, the volume promotes dialogue among researchers, analysts, practitioners, and media professionals in global society.
