Publisher's Synopsis

The communicational grammar of political discourse is a linguistic study concerned with rules and patterns responsible for efficient communication. Communication has been viewed as a higher level statum comprising texts, their situational, social and cultural embeddings, discourse(s), language(s) as well as extra-linguistic ways of transmitting information. The notion of discourse has been defined as a primarily linguistic, dynamic phenomenon of a socio-cultural nature, which can also be seen as a social heterenomy of language. Its core constitute texts understood to be communicative and there functional units which are at the same time singular realization of a particular discourse. As a general conclusion it has been observed that it is possible to find patterns of communication which can vary due to changing situations, societies and cultures.
