The language of antagonism in political texts: what does it struggle for?
This study seeks to delve further into antagonistic language in political texts and understand the rationale underlying them. Focus of analysis was on explicit evaluative language and lexical cohesion of two texts: “Freedom: a Sinn Fein Education Publication” (Text A) and “Democratic Unionist Party Manifesto” (Text B). Analysis showed that both texts drew on words related to unity and disunity to make their cases and attack each other. Text A appeared to be informative. This made it impersonal with no interaction with the reader. Text B explicitly addressed the reader. This was evidenced by the choice of you as an inclusive interactive personal pronoun.
