Publisher's Synopsis

This text shows that the best legitimisation effects in political discourse are accomplished through the use of 'proximization' - a cognitive-rhetorical strategy that draws on the speaker's ability to present events as directly and increasingly affecting the addressee, usually in a negative or threatening way.
