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. 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStyle 606 $aRhetoric 606 $aCommunication in politics 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aRhetorics 606 $aPolitical Communication 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aUS History 615 0$aPragmatics. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStyle. 615 0$aRhetoric. 615 0$aCommunication in politics. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aUnited States$xHistory. 615 14$aPragmatics. 615 24$aRhetorics. 615 24$aPolitical Communication. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aUS History. 676 $a808.53 676 $a320.0140973 700 $aRudanko$b Martti Juhani$0783388 702 $aRickman$b Paul$f1973- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910574059903321 996 $aManipulative fallacies in early America$92994718 997 $aUNINA
