Analysing Political Discourse: Theory and Practice

This revised edition of Analysing Political Discourse features the historically significant case studies from the first edition, and adds new analyses that reflect the 2010s and 2020s. It retains the original analytical tools, including the discourse space model, and a new chapter advocates development of tools from neuroscience.
