This book offers a pragma-semantic analysis of linguistic means (boosting and hedging devices, modal expressions) expressing speaker involvement in the genre of political interview. The aim of this study is to investigate the claim that this genre is detached and impersonal. It also investigates gender differences in the expression of politicians.
This book offers a pragma-semantic analysis of linguistic means expressing speaker involvement in the genre of political interview. The research is based on an analysis of 40 interviews with British and American politicians. The aim of this work is to confirm or reject the claim that the genre of political interview is detached and impersonal as is typical of any other type of formal interaction. The study also investigates whether female politicians are more indeterminate in their expression than male politicians, and whether the expression of males is matter-of-fact and more precise. The book provides new insights into the genre of political interview and contributes to the study of speaker involvement and means of its expression.
