The STA model and the 2001-2010 decade of the anti-terrorist discourse: DiscussionThis book proposes a new theory ("proximization theory") in the area of political/public legitimization discourse. Located at the intersection of Pragmatics, Cognitive Linguistics and critical approaches, the theory holds that legitimization of broadly consequential political/public policies, such as pre-emptive interventionist campaigns, is best accomplished by forced construals of virtual external threats encroaching upon the speaker and her audience's home territory. The construals, which proceed along spatial, temporal and axiological lines, are forced by strategic deployment of lexico-graPragmatics & beyond companion series ;232.PragmaticsDiscourse analysisPolitical aspectsRhetoricPolitical aspectsEnglish languageRhetoricElectronic books.Pragmatics.Discourse analysisPolitical aspects.RhetoricPolitical aspects.English languageRhetoric.320.01/4Cap Piotr751111MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465452003321Proximization1510561UNINA
