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. 46 01 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 47 Open access -- this title is available under a CC BY-NC-ND license.

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. Peter Bull, University of York, UK 05 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 05 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.

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. 10 01 JB code dapsac.68.05lop 77 92 16 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 4.

The study focuses on three aspects: 1) turn-types; 2) political allegiance; 3) gender differences.

Concerning political allegiance, eye-contact was used as a means to signalling affiliation and loyalty towards the Regional Minister.

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. 10 01 JB code dapsac.68.11fue 213 218 6 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Conclusions</TitleText> 1 A01 Catalina Fuentes Rodríguez Fuentes Rodríguez, Catalina Catalina Fuentes Rodríguez Universidad de Sevilla, Spain 2 A01 Gloria Álvarez-Benito Álvarez-Benito, Gloria Gloria Álvarez-Benito 10 01 JB code dapsac.68.12si 219 222 4 Miscellaneous 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20161201 2016 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027206596 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 40 01 701016864 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code DAPSAC 68 Hb 15 9789027206596 13 2016041070 BB 01 DAPSAC 02 1569-9463 Discourse Approaches to Politics, Society and Culture 68 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">The Andalusian Parliament</Subtitle> 01 dapsac.68 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/dapsac.68 1 B01 Catalina Fuentes Rodríguez Fuentes Rodríguez, Catalina Catalina Fuentes Rodríguez Universidad de Sevilla 2 B01 Gloria Álvarez-Benito Álvarez-Benito, Gloria Gloria Álvarez-Benito Universidad de Sevilla 01 eng 230 vii 222 LAN009030 v.2006 CFG 2 24 JB Subject Scheme COMM.CGEN Communication Studies 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.DISC Discourse studies 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.PRAG Pragmatics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.ROM Romance linguistics 06 01 Does gender condition politicians’ discourse strategies in parliament?

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. 10 01 JB code dapsac.68.11fue 213 218 6 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Conclusions</TitleText> 1 A01 Catalina Fuentes Rodríguez Fuentes Rodríguez, Catalina Catalina Fuentes Rodríguez Universidad de Sevilla, Spain 2 A01 Gloria Álvarez-Benito Álvarez-Benito, Gloria Gloria Álvarez-Benito 10 01 JB code dapsac.68.12si 219 222 4 Miscellaneous 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20161201 2016 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 08 530 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 59 24 01 02 JB 1 00 99.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 104.94 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 24 02 02 JB 1 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 24 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 149.00 USD
