About this event
[Book Discussion] The Linguistic Approach To Politics: A Malaysian Contribution
Linguistics, being the study of language, can examine various domains in our daily lives. Politics, particularly, deploys ‘language games’ because individual/institutional actors use language to legitimise actions and decisions that have real-life impact. In this talk, the speaker will be sharing how Discursive Approaches to Politics in Malaysia employs linguistic-based concepts to understand politics in Malaysia. This edited volume presents research on texts produced by and on Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional from 2008 to 2020. These texts utilise language to favor/disfavor the government, a party and citizens, and hence can shape the representation and evaluation of multiple concerns facing Malaysia.
