Titel: "»Hi folks, Boris Johnson here, taking a moment to wish you all a 
merry little Christmas« – The discursive construction of ordinariness in 
political discourse".

Abstract:

This talk examines the discursive construction of ordinariness in the 
context of British political discourse. The analysis focuses on 
politicians assigning ordinary-life experience the status of an object 
of discourse, and on their ›doing ordinariness‹ in the mediated 
political arena. To bring ordinarylife experience into discourse, 
politicians may use quotations, sometimes embedded in small stories, and 
to ›do ordinariness‹ they may use colloquial language. The paper shows 
that the discursive construction of moments of ordinary-life experience 
in a non-ordinary-life context is done strategically to align with the 
audience as a whole or with particular sub-groups. ›Doing ordinariness‹ 
in a non-ordinary context is done with the use of ordinary-life anchored 
concepts, such as ›people‹, not talking about ›government‹ any longer 
but rather of ›the people’s government‹.
