Speaker Involvement in Political Interviews

By Jana Kozubikova Sandova

This book offers a pragma-semantic analysis of linguistic means (boosting and hedging devices, modal expressions) expressing speaker involvement in the genre of political interview. The aim of this study is to investigate the claim that this genre is detached and impersonal. It also investigates gender differences in the expression of politicians.
