Abstract

This summary is about a collection of articles that examine the concept of discursive democratisation from different angles. The articles explore various aspects of democratisation, including colloquialisation, power dynamics in language use, and how political figures are represented in discourse. The studies use corpus-based methods to analyze linguistic changes over time and shed light on the connection between language and historical events. The authors stress the significance of considering sub-registers and conducting contextual analyses in corpus-pragmatic research. They also emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the establishment of best practices in this field. [Extracted from the article]
