Chapter 1The discourses of the Greek crisis
The introduction to the volume offers an overview of existing research on the discourse pertaining to the Greek crisis and relates this to the papers included in it. It is suggested that previous works mainly focused on how the Greek crisis has been communicated by the mass media, and viewed from abroad. By contrast, this volume looks at how the Greeks themselves construe their own predicament, investigating a rich diversity of local voices, elite, non-elite and resistance. Methodologically, contrary to extant research, which principally draws on the results of content analysis, this volume concentrates on the mechanics of Greek crisis rhetoric. To this end, papers combine a sizeable array of corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis techniques, employed in multifarious ways so as to provide nuanced analyses of Greek crisis discourses.
