Description

Explore the complex relationship between language and authority in Discourse Power Address: The Politics of Public Communication. Published by Routledge, this work examines the concept of directive address, a specific method of strategic communication used across many influential fields. Author Stuart Price investigates how advertising, politics, public relations, and corporate representation utilize these techniques. The book explores how the simulation of intimacy in authoritarian address can hide a drive for power. It examines how powerful social actors create propositions based on the timeliness of their utterances rather than a commitment to truth or genuine explanation. By analyzing election broadcasts, political speeches, TV commercials, and various corpora, this book provides a deep look into how communication shapes social reality. It is an essential resource for those studying how strategic messaging functions in modern society.
