Abstract National-populist parties display a discourse based on the defense of the national integrity. However, in the current European context, these parties have to deal with an increasing cultural heterogeneity, new forms of citizenship, and multi-scaling arenas. How does national-populism develop its narratives in these settings? The paper elaborates a framework for understanding the way in which ambiguity is included in the discursive strategies of national-populists. Through the Critical Discourse Analysis approach, the contribution will focus on the analysis of the discourses produced by three parties located at the Swiss-Italian border at the time of the referendum campaign for the 2014 Swiss initiative “Against Mass Immigration.”

统一和繁衍人民：跨国地区民族民粹主义话语中的歧义策略

摘要 民族民粹主义政党展示了一种基于捍卫国家完整的话语。然而，在当前的欧洲背景下，这些政党必须应对日益增加的文化异质性、新的公民形式和多尺度领域。民族民粹主义如何在这些环境中发展其叙事？这篇论文阐述了一个框架，用于理解在民族民粹主义者的话语策略中包含歧义的方式。通过批判性话语分析方法，本文将重点分析在 2014 年瑞士“反对大规模移民”倡议公投期间位于瑞士-意大利边境的三个政党所发表的话语。
