  • The Strategic Value of Pronominal Choice: Exclusive and Inclusive “We” in Political Panel Debates
    Pragmatics 23:2.361-383 (2013) International Pragmatics Association DOI: 10.1075/prag.23.2.07ver THE STRATEGIC VALUE OF PRONOMINAL CHOICE: EXCLUSIVE AND INCLUSIVE “WE” IN POLITICAL PANEL DEBATES Bram Vertommen Abstract This study explores the use of the first person plural pronoun “we/wij” by government and opposition party members in panel debates from the Flemish talk show De Zevende Dag. Both groups of politicians enter this arena with divergent communicative goals, which has clear implications (i) for the type of propositions in which subclasses of “we/wij”-pronouns are generally involved and (ii) for the politicians’ assessment of the status of these propositions. Patterns with regard to these three implications are analyzed by means of a systemic functional approach supported with quantitative data. It is claimed that government and opposition party discussants either employ distinct patterns in accordance with their different aims, or that they use similar ones, albeit with divergent discourse functions. The former scenario turns out to be true in the case of exclusive uses of “we/wij” and the latter in the case of inclusive meanings. In that way, the paper sheds light on subtle differences in how government and opposition party discussants argue and deal with the invisible presence of an overhearing broadcast audience. Keywords: Pronominal reference; Political panel debates; Systemic functional linguistics (SFL); Appraisal; Pragmatics; Activity type. 1. Introduction1 In line with an increasing tendency in broadcasting media to present more compelling, attractive and dramatic forms of (political) interviewing, panel debates have become a commonplace in television shows from the 1980s onward (Clayman & Heritage 2002: 1 This research formed part of the master thesis I wrote when I was enrolled in the Master of Advanced Studies in Linguistics (Cognitive and Functional Linguistics, University of Leuven, 2009- 2010).

  • Belgian Polities in 2005
    Belgian Polities in 2005 Sam DEPAUW Postdoctoral Fellow of the Fund for Scientific Research - Flanders at the University of Leuven Mark DEWEERDT Politica! Journalist of De Tijd The first months of 2005 were dominated by the search fora solution to the issue of the Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde constituency - that was palatable for both the Flemish and francophone political parties. After the government threw in the towel, the focus shifted more to socio-economie issues. Concern over low activity rates among the over-50's led to the presentation of the Generation Pact, but the trade unions refused to endorse it. Throughout the year discord persisted: between the federal and regional govern­ ments over the Zaventem flight dispersal plans, between the coalition partners over the issue of energy cheques, and within VLD - most notably over the contin­ ua! refusal to cooperate with Vlaams Belang. 1. Verhofstadt's Government On October 17th Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for the Budget and Public Enterprise Johan Vande Lanotte (SP.A) resigned from the federal government in order to replace Steve Stevaert at the head of the Socialist Party. He was replaced by Freya Van den Bossche as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for the Bud­ get - she kept her portfolio of Consumer Affairs. Her portfolio of Employment passed on to Peter Vanvelthoven, who was succeeded in his turn by Bruno Tuy­ bens as State Secretary for Public Enterprise. Previously, Tuybens had been head of the Sustainable and Socially Responsible Investment Department at KBC Asset Management and a member of the board at Arnnesty International.

  • Le Sp.A (Socialistische Partij Anders)
    Le SP.a (Socialistische Partij anders) Régis DANDOY Le 13 octobre 2001, les membres du parti socialiste flamand SP adoptent en congrès à Gand un nouveau nom et un nouveau sigle pour leur parti qui devient le Socialistische Partij anders – Sociaal progressief alternatief (SP.a). Cette double appellation est révélatrice des tendances observées au cours de la dernière décennie dans ce parti, à savoir un discours rénovateur récurrent et une volonté de construire un grand mouvement de gauche, flamand et progressiste. Ces deux ambitions parallèles jalonnent son histoire récente, expliquant en grande partie les performances électorales, les participations au pouvoir, l’éphémère cartel électoral avec Spirit, le contenu des programmes électoraux ou encore le profil socio-démographique des électeurs et des membres du parti socialiste flamand. Le parti socialiste flamand provient de la scission linguistique de l’historique parti socialiste belge (PSB) en une aile francophone – menant à la création du PS – et une aile flamande en 1978. Les socialistes flamands étaient minoritaires par rapport aux francophones, ce qui eut un impact non négligeable, notamment sur la sélection des dirigeants et élites ou la ligne idéologique et programmatique du parti. Le SP (Socialistische Partij), officiellement créé lors du congrès des 8 et 9 mars 1980, se départit peu à peu de l’influence de son « grand frère » francophone. Le mot anders (autrement) dans le nom du parti fait en partie référence à cette prise de distance par rapport à l’héritage historique du parti et ses liens avec son alter ego francophone. Cette différenciation des deux anciennes ailes linguistiques du PSB atteint son apogée en 2007 lorsque le PS choisit de participer à la coalition en place au gouvernement fédéral, tandis que le SP.a fait le choix de l’opposition.

  • Candidate Choice in Political Advertising. What
    World Political Science Review Volume 7, Issue 1 2011 Article 5 Candidate Choice in Political Advertising: What Determines Who Gets Attention? Jonas Lefevere∗ Regis´ Dandoyy ∗University of Antwerp, Belgium, [email protected] yUniversite´ Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, [email protected] Originally published as Jonas Lefevere & Regis´ Dandoy (2010). Kandidaatkeuze in advertenties. Wat bepaalt wie aandacht krijgt? In: Res Publica vol. 52, nr. 3: 335-352. Reprinted with permission from Res Publica. Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press. Candidate Choice in Political Advertising: What Determines Who Gets Attention? Jonas Lefevere and Regis´ Dandoy Abstract In the run up to the elections, parties have several ways of communicating with voters. In this article, we focus on one piece of the puzzle: advertisements of political parties in the mass media. More specifically, we are interested in the choice of candidates within these advertisements. In countries where parties are the dominant actor, they are faced with a choice: not all candidates can be promoted in the campaign, as this would be too costly and inefficient. Thus, the first ques- tion we want to answer is which factors determine candidate choice in political advertisements? Secondly, does candidate choice in political advertisements have an effect on the subsequent cov- erage in media as well? Agenda setting research has shown that as far as issues are concerned, advertisements do set the media agenda. We use a content analysis of seven magazines and news- papers that was collected in the run up to the 2009 regional elections in Flanders, the largest region of Belgium. The results indicate that both internal party hierarchy, as well as external visibility of candidates determines candidate choice in political advertisements.

    BELGIUM European Elections monitor Parliamentary Elections in Belgium 13th June 2010 ANALYSIS A crisis that drags on in increasing bitterness 1 month before Early parliamentary elections will take place in Belgium on 13th June next, that is to say one year the poll before the end of the present term in office. This election follows the dissolution of Belgian parlia- ment on 6th May last after the collapse on 22nd April of the government coalition led by Prime Minister Yves Leterme (Flemish Christian Democratic Party, CD&V) which included, apart from the CD&V, the Socialist Party (PS), the Flemish Liberals and Democrats (Open VLD), the Reform Movement (MR) and the Humanist Democratic Centre (CDH). Open VLD indeed chose to leave the government after deciding that the time given to negotiations with regard to the electoral constituency of Brussels- Hal-Vilvorde had been exceeded. Its leader Alexander De Croo condemned a «breach of confidence». Open VLD’s partners in government and political analysts believe that this attitude was governed by electoral considerations. It is supposed that it chose to provoke early general elections because they were increasingly ill at ease within the government coalition and by hardening their stance they were trying to stay their decline in the polls. The Prime Minister could have replaced Open VLD by the Flemish Socialist Party (SP.A) but Caroline Gennez, the SP.A chair refused to do this. «The answer with – an absolute record - lead of 800,000 votes in is no! This government is totally adrift and it is impossi- Flanders. No less than nine months were necessary ble to save it,» she declared comparing the coalition to for the Flemish Christian Democrat to be appointed «a car that had suffered irreparable damage.» Prime Minister (20th March 2008).
