Election '83. Workbook

The workbook complements a collection of essays on political discourse and multilingua communication (Rossini Favretti eds.). Documents from the UK 1983 General Election are investigated in their specificity and typology. Manifestos, political speeches, newspaper reports and party election broadcasts are analyzed comparatively, highlighting the function of different discursive practices in constituting objects as well as subjects of discourse. Discourse is thus investigated in its representative strategies and its enunciative modalities.
