It proposes an encompassing analysis of the first three seasons from the unusual angles of discourse and dialogue. The study of the stylistic idiosyncrasies of the ruthless main protagonist, Frank Underwood, is completed by a pragmatic and cognitive approach exposing the main characters? manipulative strategies to win over the other. Taking into account the socio-cultural context and the specificities of the TV medium, the volume focuses on the workings of interaction as well as the impact of the direct address to the viewer. The book critically uses the latest theories in pragmatics and stylistics in its attempt at providing a pragma-rhetorical theory of manipulation. Sandrine Sorlin is Professor of English language and linguistics at Aix-Marseille University and specialises in stylistics and pragmatics. She is a member of the LERMA research team and a Fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). She is also the current chair of the French society for English stylistics (Société de Stylistique Anglaise). 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStyle 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aTelevision broadcasting 606 $aArts 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aMass media 606 $aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics 606 $aStylistics 606 $aFilm and Television Studies 606 $aArts 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aMedia Sociology 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStyle. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting. 615 0$aArts. 615 0$aPragmatics. 615 0$aMass media. 615 14$aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics. 615 24$aStylistics. 615 24$aFilm and Television Studies. 615 24$aArts. 615 24$aPragmatics. 615 24$aMedia Sociology. 676 $a410.1835 700 $aSorlin$b Sandrine$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064870 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253340603321 996 $aLanguage and Manipulation in House of Cards$92541320 997 $aUNINA
