The political discourse of the Cold War period disintegrated and gave way to competing alternatives. The contributors to this book are linguists, discourse analysts and social scientists, from all corners of the continent, whose tools of analysis shed light on the crucial two years of transition during which political concepts and political interaction changed in dramatic and sometimes violent ways.Pragmatics & Beyond New SeriesDiscourse analysis -- Political aspects -- Europe, EasternEurope, Eastern -- Politics and government -- 1989-Electronic books.Discourse analysis -- Political aspects -- Europe, Eastern.Europe, Eastern -- Politics and government -- 1989-.401/.41/0947Chilton Paul912126Ilyin Mikhail V254100Mey Jacob L156937AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910456695003321Political Discourse in Transition in Europe 1989-19912097747UNINA
