This edited volume offers new insights into contemporary political discourses in Slavic speaking countries by focusing on discursive and linguistic means deployed in relevant genres, such as parliamentary discourse, commemorative and presidential speeches, mediated communication, and literal and philosophical essays. The depth of the linguistic analysis reflects different levels of linkage between language and social practice constituting the discourse. The theoretical and methodological approaches discussed range from interactional pragmatics over corpus linguistics to CDA. The chapters contain original language material in Russian, Polish, Czech, Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian, and the authors address issues such as the affiliation to different political and social groups within parliamentary settings, national identity, gender and minorities, as well as cultural memory and reconciliation.

Table of Contents
“The book as a whole is a valuable contribution to studies of political discourse, especially because of the wealth of theoretical approaches applied in the analysis of different genres of political discourse. In this respect, the editors have achieved their main goals. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in political discourse, critical discourse analysis, and pragmatics, and it opens new venues for future research.”
“Overall, the chapters point to the fragility of the linguistic sign and its relativity to the observer and a wider socio-historical background, as well as to a retrievable continuity between the present-day political language production and historical discourses that are a sine qua non for a “proper” decoding of current ideologies. [...] Importantly, all the contributions, implicitly or explicitly, point to an unprecedented relevance of responsible discursive practices by authoritative voices who, due to their symbolic role, have the power to pave the way to progressive changes and transformation in
their respective societies.”
