There are strong relationships between political linguistics, social linguistics, and media linguistics.
International Negotiations
[edit]Political linguistics are particularly insightful when looking into international negotiations. These are complex events where language and culture barriers may occur.[2] Question framing is the forming of questions to elicit certain responses.[2] This is exceedingly useful in negotiation as it can lead opponents down a certain line of thought.
