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. 410 0$aPragmatics & Beyond New Series 606 $aDiscourse analysis -- Political aspects -- Europe, Eastern 606 $aEurope, Eastern -- Politics and government -- 1989- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aDiscourse analysis -- Political aspects -- Europe, Eastern. 615 4$aEurope, Eastern -- Politics and government -- 1989-. 676 $a401/.41/0947 700 $aChilton$b Paul$0912126 701 $aIlyin$b Mikhail V$0254100 701 $aMey$b Jacob L$0156937 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456695003321 996 $aPolitical Discourse in Transition in Europe 1989-1991$92097747 997 $aUNINA
