The identification and analysis of different informal fallacies is central in the approach adopted by the authors, and they privilege the role of covert intentions as a frequent ingredient of manipulation. They also show how different speakers can use different subtypes of the same fallacy in a debate, and investigate the tension between the policy preferences and goals of politicians, and existing laws. The book has been written without jargon, all concepts and terminology from the field of linguistic pragmatics are clearly defined, and it is accessible to the interested layperson wishing to become familiar with manipulative techniques in political rhetoric.PragmaticsLanguage and languagesStyleRhetoricCommunication in politicsAmericaPolitics and governmentUnited StatesHistoryPragmaticsRhetoricsPolitical CommunicationAmerican PoliticsUS HistoryPragmatics.Language and languagesStyle.Rhetoric.Communication in politics.AmericaPolitics and government.United StatesHistory.Pragmatics.Rhetorics.Political Communication.American Politics.US History.808.53320.0140973Rudanko Martti Juhani783388Rickman Paul1973-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910574059903321Manipulative fallacies in early America2994718UNINA
