As the title and introduction explain, Sophie Quirk’s monograph sets out to investigate the reasons and ways comedians manipulate and influence their audience. The term manipulation, however, should be considered apart from its often negative connotations and should be interpreted as the comedian’s attempt to skilfully communicate with their audience, elicit laughter and, most importantly in this case, influence their beliefs, attitude and behaviour (see p. 2). With these premises, Quirk explores instances of stand-up comedy including some interaction between mainly well-known British comedians (e.g. Eddy Izzard, Stewart Lee, Josie Long, etc.) and their audience. She also interviews some of these performers so as to gain a first-hand understanding of the comedians’ performing experience.

In der höfischen Literatur zeigt sich deutlich die Verbindung von Macht, Gewalt und Sprache. Sprachliche und physische Gewalt korrelieren häufig. Gewalt ist akzeptabel, wenn Sie von der richtigen Seite ausgeübt wird. Auch für die Liebe werden Metaphern der Gewalt gebraucht. Während Manipulation ein weit verbreitetes sprachliches Vorgehen ist, erscheint die Lüge als erzählerisches Tabu.

Die Sprache gehört zu den imposantesten Werkzeugen in der Arbeit eines Politikers. Die präzise Verwendung einer Sprache und Kenntnis der Rhetorik-Grundsätze sind notwendig, um ein ausgefeiltes Image zu kreieren, eine politische Unterstützung zu gewinnen und an die Macht zu kommen. Der vorliegende Beitrag setzt sich zum Ziel, die politische Sprache zu analysieren, mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf Sprachstrukturen, die der Manipulation und Erreichung politischer Vorteile dienen. Ein Ausgangspunkt für die Überlegungen sind parlamentarische Auftritte des niederländischen Politikers Geert Wilders.

The present article is devoted to the issues of public opinion manipulation in the post-Covid era. Within the framework of the study, the author introduces the concept of “pseudo-authority” which is defined as a rhetorical strategy used by journalists with the aim of the manipulation of the Internet news reports that contain either appeals to non-experts' opinions or no indication of the authoritative source of knowledge so that the information is perceived by the audience as the truth and does not require evidence. The study is also focused on the distinction between appeals to authority and pseudo-authority, which is vital for developing skills of media literacy. Through the discourse analysis of the news stories about the Russian vaccine “Sputnik V” extracted from highly circulated British and American online newspapers, it is revealed that there are three main types of appeals to pseudo-authorities in Internet news discourse: appeals to “nominal” and “implicit” pseudo-authorities as well as appeals to “pseudo-visibility”. The study found that these appeals are used with the aim of political decision-making, enhancing or discrediting the image of the country as well as polarizing social groups in digital information warfare. The results of the research can be applied in the fields of linguistics, political and media studies.
