WITHOUT COMMENT OR HOW TO AVOID ANSWERS - JAGODA BLOCH

Jagoda Bloch attempts to classify linguistic behaviors based on interviews with Polish politicians in recent years. This attempt should be considered successful. The material is rich and well-isolated, the entire work provides cognitive satisfaction both in theoretical and exemplary terms, and the lively and attractive language makes reading the book interesting and satisfying in every way. It can also serve as a guide for journalists contacting resistant interlocutors - or as a guide for those who want to wriggle out of uncomfortable answers, most often asked by not necessarily well-meaning journalists.
