Politics, Lies, and Conspiracy Theories: A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective delves into the profound influence of language on cognitive processes, perception, and belief, ultimately shaping the power it holds over our thoughts and beliefs. This groundbreaking and innovative work pioneers the application of cognitive linguistics to analyze political lies and conspiracy theories, which have flourished in the digital age and are widely regarded as threats to democracy. By unraveling the verbal mechanisms that make these distinct truths highly effective and pervasive, the book dissects the linguistic structures employed by politicians, conspiracy theorists, and influencers, including metaphor, irony, and connotative implications.
Marcel Danesi further demonstrates how these linguistic structures activate or deactivate alternative mind worlds, offering a comprehensive understanding of their cognitive effects. This book is a vital resource for students of cognitive linguistics, enriching the studies of language and linguistics enthusiasts, discourse analysis, rhetoric, and political science. Its insights shed light on the intricate ways in which language shapes our understanding of the world and the mechanisms by which misinformation and conspiracy theories spread.
