 Fear and pride: Emotion talk in UK migration debates« Abstract:   T
 his paper offers an example of the application of concordance analysis
  in the field of discourse analysis. Here\, I focus on one element o
 f public discourses around migration\; the use of emotion-talk in parl
 iamentary debates. Following Bednarek (2008)\, I use the term ‘emoti
 on talk’ to refer to talk about emotions\, as opposed to ‘emotiona
 l talk’ which is talk in which emotions are displayed. Both ‘emoti
 on talk’ and ‘emotional talk’ can perform persuasive appeals to 
 emotions or discursive (de)legitimization (Reyes 2011). To date\, emot
 ional talk has received more attention\, given the centrality of a) em
 otion to conceptualisations of populism\, and b) securitisation to the
  discursive framing of mobility. In this paper\, I turn to emotion tal
 k and identify which emotions are explicitly referenced in the UK parl
 iamentary debates and what function use of these terms performs. Askin
 g about function rather than just frequency means that a more nuanced 
 approach is required – and this is why the analysis was carried out 
 at the level of the concordance line. The concordance lines of emoti
 on talk (e.g. ‘proud’ or ‘grateful’) were coded according to w
 ho was the using term\, who was being described as experiencing this e
 motion\, and what the target of the emotion was (e.g. what people are 
 described as being ‘afraid’ of). These then feed into that overarc
 hing question of whether these references to emotions in discussion of
  migrations are used for different argumentative functions by differen
 t political parties and genders.
