Description
Quoting in Parliamentary Question Time provides a comprehensive linguistic analysis of how quotations function within parliamentary debate, specifically examining recent developments in this formal setting. Author Elisabeth Reber investigates the strategic use of quotes by lawmakers during question time sessions, exploring how references to external sources, prior statements, and established texts shape political argumentation.
The study reveals patterns in quotation practices and demonstrates how these linguistic choices reflect broader changes in parliamentary culture and communication strategies. By analyzing authentic parliamentary discourse, Reber uncovers the rhetorical significance of quoting as a persuasive technique and its role in establishing authority and credibility within legislative debates.
This work is essential for scholars of linguistics, political communication, and parliamentary studies seeking to understand contemporary patterns in formal legislative discourse.
