“…Populist discourse, as Panizza (2005) asserts, is the creation of an in ternal boundary to separate two types of groups and enforce a binary relationship between the politically constructed "self'" and the "other." The existing literature shows how politicians around the globe legitimize their political agenda with populist discourse (De Cleen & Stavrakakis, 2017;Hidalgo-Tenorio & Benítez-Castro, 2021;Laclau, 2007). Populist discourse exists independently of the political context.…”

This paper aims to analyze former Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s thirty speeches on COVID-19 delivered between February 2, 2020 and April 27, 2020. We apply Laclau and Mouffe’s theory of discourse analysis to investigate and analyze Rouhani’s rhetorical and discursive strategies in making meaning of COVID-19. Findings showed that COVID-19 discourse in Rouhani’s speeches has mainly revolved around three nodal points: “the country”, “the enemy”, and “the state of exception”. Thus, the structural articulation of COVID-19 discourse resembles the hegemonic discourse in Iran. Our results also explain how Rouhani used COVID-19 as an empty signifier to reinforce the hegemonic discourse in Iran while trying to redefine his relations with the state-leaning organizations. Furthermore, we analyzed the rhetorical practices that Rouhani employed to articulate the COVID-19 discourse. This paper contributes to a growing body of literature into discursive aspects and implications of a global pandemic by providing empirical evidence form an understudied context: Iran.

Artykuł omawia dyskursy Krzysztofa Bosaka i Roberta Biedronia na Twitterze podczas kampanii prezydenckiej w 2020 r. Jako ramę badawczą wykorzystano krytyczną analizę dyskursu – interdyscyplinarne podejście, które zakłada triangulację metod oraz traktuje dyskurs jako przejaw praktyki społecznej, będący w dialektycznej relacji ze społeczeństwem. W celu precyzyjnego zbadania strategii dyskursywnych kandydatów w artykule posłużono się metodami lingwistyki korpusowej, które umożliwiają analizę na poziomie ilościowym. Narzędziem badawczym był program Sketch Engine. Wykazano, że kandydat Konfederacji istotnie częściej akcentował swoją sprawczość, odpowiadał na wpisy innych użytkowników oraz istotny posługiwał się formami grzecznościowymi. Z kolei przedstawiciel Lewicy stosował bardziej inkluzywny język, kładł nacisk na budowanie wspólnoty oraz zamieszczał więcej tweetów. Stwierdzono również, że osoba Andrzeja Dudy odegrała istotnie większą rolę w kampanii Roberta Biedronia. Wyniki badania stanowią przyczynek do dyskusji na temat dyskursów formacji, którym poświęcono w literaturze relatywnie niewiele uwagi oraz demonstrują, w jaki sposób można wykorzystać metody lingwistyki korpusowej w badaniach medioznawczych lub politologicznych.

Redefining attitude for studying explicit and indirect evaluations of human behaviour

This article considers the application of the Attitude framework (Martin & White 2005) to study the evaluation of human behaviour. The distinction between inscribed (explicit) and invoked (indirect) attitude is re-examined and systematised to better operationalise the analysis of the evaluation of behaviour. General linguistic evaluation triggers are identified for inscribed and invoked evaluations, and the annotation scheme is applied in a corpus of texts from different registers (a psychiatric manual, educational guidelines and informal online exchanges) concerned with ADHD. Indirect evaluations of behaviour are described as attitudinal inferences derived from (i) the behaviours of the individuals, (ii) the behavioural outcomes, (iii) the impact that the behaviour or its outcomes have on third parties and the actions that the latter may perform as a result. It is proposed that indirect evaluations of people’s behaviour are metonymically inferred through an effect→cause relation drawn across the different parts of an action scenario. The conceptual metonymy explains the directionality observed in attitude analyses (Appreciation attitude type may stand as tokens of Judgment), and it shows the impossibility of evaluating performances without indirectly appraising the human behaver.
