Discursive Approaches to Politics in Malaysia

---

Our chapter introduces Discursive Approaches to Politics in Malaysia:
Legitimising Governance. Grounded in Discourse Studies, this edited volume is
designed to enrich research on Malaysian political discourse. It examines how political

actors employ language to legitimise their governance in distinct contexts. The
chapter briefly reviews political parties in Malaysia, which establishes the contours
of political culture. Subsequently, it presents an overview of linguistic research in
political discourse in the last two decades in Malaysia, which establishes the diversity

of studies in linguistic analysis. The chapter describes the other chapters in this
volume that research spoken, print and digital texts in English, Malay, Mandarin and
Tamil. These chapters pursue an empirical study of language features and strategies
about contemporary concerns in Malaysia. Our chapter ends by offering the future
directions of research, where potential avenues could be explored.
