This paper explores the construction of parliamentary consent around the proposition that fox-hunting should be abolished in the United Kingdom, discussed under the John Major government in the 1990s. It deals with the Prime Minister's argumentative strategies in terms of a Problem-Solution rhetorical pattern (Hoey 1984), and uses an analytical methodology based on White's work on Engagement (2003), to explore patterns of dialogical expansion and contraction in Major's discourse.

Abstract
This paper explores the construction of parliamentary consent around the proposition that fox-hunting should be abolished in the United Kingdom, discussed under the John Major government in the 1990s. It deals with the Prime Minister's argumentative strategies in terms of a Problem-Solution rhetorical pattern (Hoey 1984), and uses an analytical methodology based on White's work on Engagement (2003), to explore patterns of dialogical expansion and contraction in Major's discourse.File in questo prodotto:
