Description | In the introduction to a special issue of the Journal of Language and Politics, Machin and van Leeuwen (2016) advocate for a broader analysis of political discourse, moving from a narrow definition, i.e. “parliamentary discourse, election campaigns, party programmes, speeches, etc.” (p. 243) to all those semiotic manifestations that can be considered political. TV travel documentaries fall within this category and this paper, using semiotic and cognitive lenses, explores how manipulation can be achieved through them. |
