Argumentative analysis of the plurilingual and (inter)cultural dimension in the Algerian political discourse

Abstract

Our contribution aims to analyze the argumentative strategies invested in the Algerian political discourse through the multilingual and (inter)cultural dimension. In a society marked by the diversity of languages and cultures, it is important to understand how political actors highlight the multilingual and (inter)cultural dimension through their ethos and arouse the audience’s pathos with a persuasive purpose. Because languages and cultures are not just neutral means of communication and manifestation, but also subject to political and ideological positioning.
