Algunos aspectos lingüísticos de los debates electorales Zapatero-Rajoy 2008
Abstract
Given the lack of tradition in Spain for presidential debates, the one which took place earlier this year between Rodríguez Zapatero and Rajoy is of great importance. From the perspective of political language (seen trough the journalistic language), it would be convenient to analyse the most important details from its content in orden to examine those special points (which are at the service of persuasion and propaganda). This anlysis is carried out on a syntactic level (use of deictic, repetitive structures and ordering schemes) and on a semantic level (euphemisms, metaphors, symbol words and valuation of suffixation).Downloads
