The life of the empty phrases: A critique of political metaphors
Животът на кухите фрази. Критика на политически метафори
Language: Bulgarian

   The book presents analytical deconstruction of certain political metaphors of global and local (Bulgarian political) significance. Analyzed in a semantic perspective, these figures of political speech are revealed as meaningless. Their semantic emptiness does not arise from accidental circumstances, but is connected with fundamental grounds. However, they are highly popular, they are considered self-evidently credible, have an intense political life and a striking influence. The book emphasizes that critical public attitudes should not trust even the most authoritative metaphors in modern political speech.
