Description | Given the difficulty to ascertain the intentions of text producers (Maillat, 2013; Maillat and Oswald, 2009; Oswald, 2014), studying manipulative discourses presents challenges at different levels. Firstly, as a matter of definitions, manipulation and persuasion are often difficult to differentiate (but see de Saussure, 2005 and Sorlin, 2016 for some attempts). Secondly, at analytical and interpretative levels, establishing whether manipulation occurs often relies on speculative arguments on the part of the researcher. |
