The main contribution of Cap's book lies in expanding the intersections between cognitive linguistics and discourse studies by showing how language uses can be weaponized by powerful political actors and explaining the pragma-linguistic operations that result in certain power-legitimizing construals of reality. --Journal of Pragmatics Piotr Cap's lucid account is indispensable for English-speakers seeking to understand the workings of national populism, and not only in the form that it has taken in Poland and eastern Europe. Taking full account of national particularities, including Britain's Brexit, it provides an unusually rich analysis of national-populist text and talk, applying up-to-date methods from the language sciences. --Paul Chilton, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, Lancaster University, Honorary Associate Fellow, Department of Applied Linguistics, University of Warwick, UK A well-documented study ...
