Co-opting the energy transition
Incumbent energy companies are under increasing pressure to align their strategies with the goals of the energy transition. CEO letters—as a genre of strategic financial communication addressed primarily to investors—provide a privileged site for examining how this alignment is discursively constructed and justified. This study investigates how major publicly listed energy companies in Germany, Poland, and Spain legitimize strategic investment de…
Sibling-texts keyword analysis
This article introduces a novel method for refining approaches to distant reading by proposing a procedure that categorizes prominent units (keywords) into two types: those pertinent to the topic and those associated with the genre/register of a text. This differentiation holds significant potential for more accurate modeling of topics and further applications in various domains of digital humanities. For example, register-related keywords may as…
Pragmatic patterns and discourses on Twitter
Much public debate today is carried out on Twitter (now X), where the participants employ a range of diverse resources to convey their ideas effectively. Disentangling the resources into clear and understandable structures and patterns presents a fresh challenge for discourse pragmatics. This article addresses that challenge methodologically by evaluating existing methods for identifying and classifying pragmatic patterns, revealing their drawbac…
Framing the Energy Transition
Climate policies pose serious challenges for the operations of energy companies, especially those strongly dependent on fossil fuels. This study explores the case of one such company, Poland’s PGE Group. In 2021, PGE was instructed by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) to close its Turów lignite mine for contravening EU decarbonization policy. The company refused to comply and launched a public affairs campaign in support of its efforts to pre…
Constructing collective identities and solidarity in premiers’ early speeches on Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a unique global experience, arousing both exclusionary nationalistic and inclusionary responses of solidarity. This article aims to explore the discursive and linguistic means by which the COVID-19 pandemic, as a macro-event, has been translated into local micro-events. The analysis studies the global pandemic through the initial statements of 29 leading political actors across four continents. The aim is to exa…
Political discourse in Central, Eastern and Balkan Europe
This edited volume offers new insights into contemporary political discourses in Slavic speaking countries by focusing on discursive and linguistic means deployed in relevant genres, such as parliamentary discourse, commemorative and presidential speeches, mediated communication, and literal and philosophical essays. The depth of the linguistic analysis reflects different levels of linkage between language and social practice constituting the dis…
Constructing threat through quotes and historical analogies in the Czech and the US “Ukraine Discourse
Conflicts and their discursive representations involve, apart from the spacio-temporal dimension, also the socio-ideological and axiological positions. These prompt the desired emotional response from the audience in a form of authorization for the intended action. All these dimensions are mainly construed by presenting series of assertions by creating the dichotomy self-other and by triggering implicatures that contribute to the preferred interp…
‘Victim playing’ as a form of verbal aggression in the Czech parliament
As the core of political discourse is the struggle for power and scarce resources, conflict seems to be an essential component of political action and interaction. In addition, conflicts in parliament are manifested in many different ways. They range from disputes during the plenary sessions to more personal attacks in the question time. This paper, however, examines an atypical display of parliamentary discourse, namely a speech by a social demo…
