Crisis Leadership
Focusing on wartime narratives, this study demonstrates how language functions as a tool of power and legitimacy, revealing discursive patterns that operate not only in politics but also in corporate and institutional contexts. Using a qualitative CDA approach, the paper analyses how political leaders employ language during crises to justify decisions and manage military operations. Through comparative analysis of recent scholarship and our exami…
Anglicisms in the Macedonian political discourse
The widespread presence of Anglicisms in the Macedonian language is undisputable. Anglicisms are particularly conspicuous in political discourse as politicians seem to have pronounced tendency to insert English borrowings in their public statements, speeches, discussion and debates quite frequently. While politicians thus clearly attempt to reinforce the persuasiveness of the political messages they impart to the masses, the question that arises …
‘Where there is a will there is a way’
Although political discourse is essentially expected to be fact-based and objective, both practice and research show that literal language in political discourse is very often compounded with figurative language. The paper at hand tackles figurative language use in political interviews. For the purposes of this research, we conducted a critical discourse analysis of a corpus of political interviews given by a former Macedonian female politician –…

This study has both qualitative and quantitative design and looks into the presence of overt and i…

Some Key Pitfalls in Literary Translation
Literary translation is considered to be the most challenging type of translation despite the numerous rewards it offers both to translators themselves and the humanity in general
Impoliteness on the political stage
Electoral debates are a win-lose game in which the stakes for the political contenders are extremely high. The antagonistic nature of these encounters very frequently results in impoliteness or face aggravating moves with which the debaters aim to hurt the opponent’s positive or negative face. The aim of this research is to investigate the impoliteness strategies employed by politicians during electoral debates. Garcia-Pastor’s (2008) positive-fa…
The Role of Electronic Corpora in Translation Training
Corpus linguistics has surely secured its position and status in the world of science nowadays. Its role in linguistic research, and consequently its implications for the linguistic theory and practice are practically indisputable today. Nevertheless, what started capturing researchers' attention in the last decades is the role that corpus linguistics has in the domain of translation studies and training. In fact, corpus linguistics has extended …
