Chapter 7Practical reasoning and metaphor in TV discussions on immigration in Greece
Exchanges and changes
This article investigates the dynamic processes taking place in relation to the choice of specific fixed metaphors which function as framing devices by rival politicians to reinforce their proposals for action in the media immigration discourse of Greek TV discussions (1996-2016). In this research context a critical, integrated, multi-level metaphor analysis model is suggested which combines different methods (see Cameron 2008; Fairclough et al. 2012; Charteris-Black 2014; Musolff 2016; Semino et al. 2016) for a linguistic, cognitive and discursive-communicative-rhetorical analysis in the context of practical reasoning focusing on the framing power of metaphor. Results revealed that around these metaphors the different political ideologies are framed in agreement with the rhetorical tendencies (e.g simplification, bipolarization, hyperbole) of the political media discourse.
Keywords: metaphor analysis (critical, integrated, multi-level), frames, scenarios, practical reasoning, TV discussions, immigration
