| Summary: | Manipulative discourse can be described as a strategy that tries to derail the interpretative processes. Through the pragmatic theory of Context Selection Constraint, this article shows how a speaker/manipulator can bend the addressee's interpretation mechanisms. In particular, we see that some manipulative strategies rely on seduction in order to constrain effectively the interpretative processes of the addressee. The proposed analysis draws on the literature in cognitive psychology to argue that some well-known cognitive biases can be shown to be at work in seduction-based manipulation. |
