Beskrivning
Politeness in Presidential Debates analyzes politeness strategies in presidential and vice presidential debates from 1960 to 2004. After an introduction to politeness theory and how to apply it to debates, the authors summarize each candidate's politeness strategies, relate them to the historical context of the appropriate campaign, and consider them in relation to other studies conducted on the debates. This well-researched book ends with implications for debate planners, politicians, citizens, and scholars, including an insightful chapter on the electorate's ideal debate.

Because of the precision of this study's methodology, presented in an academic manner, this book can be helpful to scholars of rhetoric. -- Susan Gonders Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Spring 2009 In an age where winning elections depends on candidates' images as much as, if not more than, campaign issues, this exceptional analysis is a welcome addition to political communication scholarship. Covering forty-five years of U.S. presidential and vice presidential debates, the authors provide a compelling account of the role politeness plays when political images are at stake. -- John S. Seiter, Utah State University; coauthor, Persuasion: Social Influence and Compliance Gaining
