Chapter 7Emotional argumentation in political discourse
The aim of this chapter is to determine whether the expression of emotion is a meaningful variable in the argumentative discourse found in the Andalusian Parliament. The chapter also examines whether the gender factor has any relevance in the expression of emotion.This is because one of the main presuppositions in gender research is the stereotype that women are more expressive in relation to emotion and subjectivity.We take into account appraisal theory and argumentation theory to see how affect, judgement and appreciation, less associated with formal and institutional discourse, are used with a strategic and communicative purpose: persuasion.
Keywords: Emotion, evaluation, affect, political discourse, parliamentary discourse, argumentative resources
