The students will be able to analyze political speeches at the different linguistic levels in their corresponding contexts

There will be a basic introduction into issues of political sciences as well as into (linguistic) discourse analysis. The question of discourse will be discussed and a distinction will be made between socio-historic and linguistic discourse analysis. Various political scenarios in Latin America will be discussed and analyzed. Eventually political speeches, given in those different contexts, will be dealt with at the different linguistic levels.
