Does gender condition politicians’ discourse strategies in parliament? This is the question we try to answer in <i>A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse: The Andalusian Parliament</i>. This book, written by experts in the field of discourse analysis, covers key aspects of political discourse such as gender, identity and verbal and nonverbal strategies: intensification, enumerative series, non-literal quotations, pseudo-desemantisation, lexical colloquialisation, emotion, eye contact and time management. It provides a large number of examples from a balanced gender parliament, the Andalusian Parliament, and it focuses mainly on argumentation, since parliamentary discourse is above all argumentative. This book will prove invaluable to students and teachers in the field of discourse analysis, and more specifically of political discourse, and will also be very useful to politicians and anyone interested in communication strategies.<br />As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.

In the regional parliament of Andalusia in Spain, men and women must have equal representation by law. Furthermore, they must be equally represented at all levels of the parliamentary political hierarchy. This novel and unique political setting provides the context for a series of studies focussed on male and female discursive styles, reported in this groundbreaking edited volume. As such, this book will make a highly significant contribution not only to ongoing research on language and gender, but also to our wider understanding of the social impact of progressive politics in a global context.

This is an exceptionally well-balanced, authoritative collection of current work on gender and parliamentary discourse. The different contributions present an ideal blend of theory, research and argument on parliamentary debates in the Andalusian context, and do so in a way that is both sophisticated and accessible. This volume is an ambitious approach to the expanding field of political discourse analysis, and anyone interested in keeping up with theoretical and analytical developments in this rapidly evolving area should have it on their bookshelf.
Anita Fetzer, University of Augsburg

The meaning of a speech act depends not only on what is said but also on who says it, to whom, and in what situation it is said. This implies that the status and identity of the participants as well as the characteristics of the communicative situation must be taken into account. The interest and originality of this collective work is that it focuses on those components of the speech act: identities in terms of sex differences (masculine/feminine); status (men/women in the political field); the political situation in terms of exchanges, and ways of speaking in a regional parliament with different perspectives. In addition, this collective work has another virtue: analysing discourse in its many dimensions (semantic, syntactic, phonetic, lexical, etc.), which allows us to identify rhetoric patterns. To sum up, this book is a valuable model for similar studies.

Parliamentary discourse is a confrontation talk where ideological positions are related to interactional roles. Intensification is the main politicians’ strategy, an identity device, and a mark of this professional discourse. It appears in all fields: semantic meaning, sentence intonation, stress, illocutionary acts, grammatical structures and argumentative operators. Men and women use it in a similar way. This chapter aims at analysing parliamentary discourse from a pragmatic perspective, where ideology and identity work together in the process of cognitive and discourse construction.

The ‘dominance approach’ (Jespersen 1922, Lakoff 1973, 1975) has associated female discourse with mitigation and politeness, two characteristics not suitable for political discourse. The aim of this chapter is to analyse the enumerative series, a linguistic resource that is characterised by its intensifying action, in 40 oral questions of the Andalusian Parliament. Qualitative and quantitative analyses have been performed to determine whether there is any difference between men and women in their use of the enumerative series and to identify the formal aspects characteristic of the enumerative series. The results obtained indicate that the enumerative series is mainly used by male interlocutors, although there is not a marked difference.

This chapter analyses parody in parliamentary discourse as a strategy towards the following objective: disqualifying one’s political enemies. To do this, the politician uses a very useful resource: the non-literal quotation. This form of attack is a very effective manipulation tool, which we must study by relating politeness theory and argumentation. This chapter also studies aggressive and fallacious strategies in relation to the gender of the speaker and the listener, in the context of a discourse traditionally monopolised by men.

social lexical variation
01
In parliamentary discourse, lexical elements are routinely used by MPs, regardless of ideology and gender factors. The only important difference lies between government and opposition. Therefore, no remarkable lexical innovations are expected. In parliamentary interventions, there is a reduction in ideological polarity and a tendency to use words that suffer a process of pseudo-desemantisation (i.e. loss of its full and original meaning) with an intensifying function.

Through the analysis of parliamentary interventions in the Andalusian Parliament, it is shown how politicians use lexical colloquial features. We assume that there is an expansion of the colloquial employ of the Spanish language, which also reaches formal discursive types such as the parliamentary interaction. To try to confirm this claim, we work with a corpus of 4 commissions in the Andalusian Parliament, focusing on lexical features. We apply both a quantitative and a qualitative approach to prove that, generally speaking, parliamentarians often use colloquial lexical features. Basing on the gender parameter, we show that there is no relevant difference. Finally, we focus on the causes of this tendency, by addressing the interface of media and 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.

The aim of this chapter is to analyse the main functions of eye-contact in the Andalusian Parliament (Committee for Equality and Social Welfare). The corpus consists of 12 oral questions (from March to September 2010) raised by the two main political parties. The study focuses on three aspects: 1) turn-types; 2) political allegiance; 3) gender differences. Regarding turn-types, the results showed that longer eye-contact tended to be more frequent in the second turns. Concerning political allegiance, eye-contact was used as a means to signalling affiliation and loyalty towards the Regional Minister. Regarding gender differences, men seemed to keep more eye-contact than women.

The main objective of this chapter is to show the importance of politicians’ time management and its relation to gender. We focus on how men and women manage time through pauses and speech rate. The idea of rhythmic pattern has already been studied (Bañón, Arcos and Requena 2012), and pausative pattern has been discussed in relation to the electoral political debate. Our hypothesis is that women and men in positions of responsibility in the Andalusian Parliament handle time management differently, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Therefore, we analysed the interventions of several regional ministers of the Andalusian Government to study whether pauses, length and speed of MPs’ speeches have a strategic persuasive or argumentative value.

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.

The aim of this chapter is to analyse the main functions of eye-contact in the Andalusian Parliament (Committee for Equality and Social Welfare). The corpus consists of 12 oral questions (from March to September 2010) raised by the two main political parties. The study focuses on three aspects: 1) turn-types; 2) political allegiance; 3) gender differences. Regarding turn-types, the results showed that longer eye-contact tended to be more frequent in the second turns. Concerning political allegiance, eye-contact was used as a means to signalling affiliation and loyalty towards the Regional Minister. Regarding gender differences, men seemed to keep more eye-contact than women.

The main objective of this chapter is to show the importance of politicians’ time management and its relation to gender. We focus on how men and women manage time through pauses and speech rate. The idea of rhythmic pattern has already been studied (Bañón, Arcos and Requena 2012), and pausative pattern has been discussed in relation to the electoral political debate. Our hypothesis is that women and men in positions of responsibility in the Andalusian Parliament handle time management differently, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Therefore, we analysed the interventions of several regional ministers of the Andalusian Government to study whether pauses, length and speed of MPs’ speeches have a strategic persuasive or argumentative value.
