Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
The first and only dissection of the language of politics and conspiracy from a cognitive linguistic perspective, revealing cognitive linguistic explanations of how lies and conspiracies effectively create mind worlds that proliferate different and dangerous alternative truths.
This topic is of utmost importance in an age of social media, political division, and controversial leaders. It is original in its treatment of the topic from a cognitive linguistic perspective, which is a well-established and sizable area in language studies.
The book is highly applicable to cognitive linguistic courses as well as relevant reading around a very hot topic in language and linguistics generally, sociolinguistics, political science, and discourse analysis.
The author's approach is rigorous and comprehensive, drawing on a wide range of cognitive linguistic theories and methods to analyze the language of politics and conspiracy. He provides a clear and concise account of how lies and conspiracies are constructed, how they are disseminated, and how they affect the minds of those who believe them.
One of the book's most significant contributions is its ability to shed light on the cognitive processes that underlie political belief and behavior. The author shows how people use language to create and reinforce their political ideologies, how they interpret political information, and how they respond to political challenges. He also explores the ways in which language can be used to manipulate public opinion and to promote conspiracy theories.
The book is well-written and accessible to a wide audience, including students, scholars, and anyone interested in the language of politics and conspiracy. It is filled with examples and case studies that illustrate the author's arguments and make them relatable to real-world situations.
In conclusion, The Language of Politics and Conspiracy is a groundbreaking work that offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the language of politics and conspiracy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in language and linguistics, as well as for those who are concerned about the impact of lies and conspiracies on our society.
