Book Synopsis Morality Models Through Metaphors in Media Political Discourse by : Liudmila Arcimaviciene
Download or read book Morality Models Through Metaphors in Media Political Discourse written by Liudmila Arcimaviciene and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims at identifying morality models through metaphors from the perspective of public (media political) discourse. By analysing metaphorical expressions, restructuring conceptual metaphors on the basis of the activated frames, different morality systems can be distinguished. The findings reveal that British media political discourse is based on the Complex Morality Model. The combination of pragmatic, rational and sentimental values shows that British political culture is becoming more varied and constructive, as the presence of different moral views instigates compromising and empathic politics, where concern for others is viewed as moral goodness. By contrast, Lithuanian politics seems to be governed by pragmatic values, which actuate obligations over rights, rules over experience, and forcefulness over empathy.
Book Synopsis Metaphor and Political Discourse by : A. Musolff
Download or read book Metaphor and Political Discourse written by A. Musolff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-08-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far from being rhetorical ornaments, metaphors play a central role in public discourse, as they shape the structure of political categorisation and argumentation. Drawing on a very large bilingual corpus, this book, now in paperback, analyses the distribution of 'metaphor scenarios' in more than a decade of public discourse on European integration, elucidating differences in UK and German attitudes and argumentation. The corpus analysis leads to a refinement of cognitive metaphor theory by systematically relating conceptual, semantic and argumentation levels and incorporating the historical dimension of metaphor evolution. Finally, drawing on examples of metaphor negotiation and on a reassessment of Hobbes' concept of metaphor in Leviathan, the book highlights the ethical dimension of metaphor in politics.

Book Synopsis Warring with Words by : Michael Hanne
Download or read book Warring with Words written by Michael Hanne and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars in many of the disciplines surrounding politics explicitly utilize either a narrative perspective or a metaphor perspective (though rarely the two in combination) to analyze issues -- theoretical and practical, domestic and international -- in the broad field of politics. Among the topics they have studied are: competing metaphors for the state or nation which have been coined over the centuries in diverse cultures; the frequency with which communal and international conflicts are generated, at least in part, by the clashing religious and historical narratives held by opposing groups; the cognitive short-cuts employing metaphor by which citizens make sense of politics; the need for political candidates to project a convincing self-narrative; the extent to which the metaphors used to formulate social issues determine the policies which will be developed to resolve them; the failure of narratives around the security of the nation to take account of the individual experiences of women and children. This volume is the first in which eminent scholars from disciplines as diverse as social psychology, anthropology, political theory, international relations, feminist political science, and media studies, have sought to integrate the narrative and the metaphor perspectives on politics. It will appeal to any scholar interested in the many ways in which narrative and metaphor function in combination as cognitive and rhetorical instruments in discourse around politics.

Book Synopsis Variation in Political Metaphor by : Julien Perrez
Download or read book Variation in Political Metaphor written by Julien Perrez and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this book is to understand variation in political metaphor. Political metaphors are distinctive and important because they are used to achieve political goals: to persuade, to shape expectations, to realize specific objectives and actions. The analyses in the book go beyond the mere identification of conceptual metaphors in discourse to show how political metaphors function in the real world. It starts from the finding that the same conceptual domains are used to characterize politics, political entities and political issues. Yet, the specific metaphors used to describe these conceptual domains often change. This book explores some of the reasons for this variation, including features of political leaders (e.g., their age and gender), countries, and other sociopolitical circumstances. This perspective yields a better understanding of the role(s) of metaphors in political discourse.
Book Synopsis Political Metaphor Analysis by : Andreas Musolff
Download or read book Political Metaphor Analysis written by Andreas Musolff and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 empirical analyses based on a large corpus of political metaphors and metonymies, linking these analyses to theoretical positions and assessing their limitations and perspectives for further exploration. The 'classic' model of conceptual metaphor analysis, pioneered by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and expanded and amended over the past thirty-five years, is critically examined with regard to new findings about the variation, historicity, pragmatic exploitation, comprehension and interpretation of metaphors. As a central new analytical category, the notion of “metaphor scenario” is proposed and tested against various sub-sets of data. It allows to link hypothesised conceptual metaphors to narrative, argumentative and evaluative patterns in actual discourse and understanding processes, so that their cognitive significance can be more reliably gauged and theoretically modelled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic text, the first full-scale application of cognitive science to politics, George Lakoff analyzes the unconscious and rhetorical worldviews of liberals and conservatives, discovering radically different but remarkably consistent conceptions of morality on both the left and right. For this new edition, Lakoff adds a preface and an afterword extending his observations to major ideological conflicts since the book's original publication, from the impeachment of Bill Clinton to the 2000 presidential election and its aftermath.
Book Synopsis Framing the War. The Use of Metaphors in US Political Discourse by : Simon Brandl
Download or read book Framing the War. The Use of Metaphors in US Political Discourse written by Simon Brandl and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, University of Marburg, language: English, abstract: When it comes to framing the war linguistically, metaphors have always been key for many politicians in conveying their message and distinguishing in a simplistic manner between good and evil. Employing metaphors in political discourse helps politicians simplify their content and make the audience understand their message more clearly, as Lakoff notes: “Abstractions and enormously complex situations are routinely understood via metaphor” (1991: 25). Lakoff further describes the use of metaphors as something not necessarily good or bad, but rather depicts it as a stylistic device that is widely common even in everyday language. Therefore, it seems highly interesting to look even closer at how metaphors are being used in the context of war-related speech in the United States. The focus of this paper will be on metaphors used in the State of the Union Address, since I assume that the latter is perfectly suited for an exemplary analysis of how war-related metaphors are constructed and which specific purpose they serve.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Metaphors on portraying Immigration in Political speeches. A Biopolitical View on Rhetorics by : Luisa van Gansewinkel
Download or read book The Effect of Metaphors on portraying Immigration in Political speeches. A Biopolitical View on Rhetorics written by Luisa van Gansewinkel and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, RWTH Aachen University, language: English, abstract: Metaphors are, next to parallels and comparisons, one of the most important rhetorical devices in political speeches. They were defined by Aristotle as ‘giving the thing a name that belongs to something else's. Metaphors establish a connection between a subject that may be new or uncommon in our lives and something that feels familiar and near to the heart. This makes them successful and turns them into a useful tool in politics. The ways to analyse metaphors are manifold, but the preferred way for political speeches is the Critical Metaphor Analysis. It enables the researcher to not only identify and classify a metaphor, but also to determine which use a metaphor has and which tone it carries. This paper will compare a total of four speeches from two different politicians with each other with regard to the usage of metaphors and the effect those metaphors have on a biopolitical base.

Book Synopsis Metaphor, Nation and Discourse by : Ljiljana Šarić
Download or read book Metaphor, Nation and Discourse written by Ljiljana Šarić and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume examines how metaphors and related phenomena (metonymies, symbols, cultural models, stereotypes) lead to the discursive construal of a common element that brings the nation together. The central idea is that metaphor use must be questioned to lay bare the processes and the discursive power behind them. The chapters examine a range of contemporary and historical, monomodal and multimodal discourses, including politicians’ discourse, presidential speeches, newspapers, TV series, Catholic homilies, colonialist discourse, and various online sources. The approaches taken include political science, international relations, cultural studies, and linguistics. All contributions feature discursive constructivist views of metaphor, with clear sociocultural grounding, and the notion of metaphor as a framing device in constructing various aspects of nations and national identity. The volume will appeal to scholars in discourse analysis, metaphor studies, media studies, nationalism studies, and political science.
