Andreas Musolff provides an analysis of the function of metaphor in political discourse, based on material from an extensive corpus of British and German press coverage of EU politics between 1989 and 2001. The analysis of distributions of 'metaphor scenarios' in the two corpus samples reveals differences in attitude and argumentative tendencies and leads to a refinement of cognitive metaphor theory. The ethical dimension of metaphor in politics is further explored with reference to Hobbes' Leviathan.

Debatten uber Terrorismus betreffen den politisch-kommunikativen Status von Minderheitsgruppen: Die Terrorismus-Zuschreibung dient der Stigmatisierung und Ausschlieung solcher Gruppen aus der anerkannten "Offentlichkeit." Im Ruckgriff auf den Entstehungskontext des Terrorismusbegriffs in der Franzosischen Revolution werden zunachst die Voraussetzungen dieser Funktionalisierung anhand der zeitgenossischen franzosischen Terrorismusterminologie und ihrer Rezeption in Deutschland beleuchtet. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden die offentlichen Terrorismusdebatten in Deutschland und Grobritannien seit...

This book is the first to provide a cognitive analysis of the function of biological/medical metaphors in National Socialist racist ideology and their background in historical traditions of Western political theory.

Political metaphors and related figurative discourse tools are characterised by their variability and contentiousness. Using them, discourse participants try to gain competitive advantage over others by offering their audiences new meaning nuances, challenging each other and announcing political initiatives. It is here that metaphor as a means to change meanings - and thus, to change social and political reality - comes into its own.
Political Metaphor Analysis provides an innovative approach to the study of figurative language use in political discourse by presenting...
