Parliamentary discourse is a distinct genre defined by its institutional context

Evidence

Specific for this discourse genre are of course especially its contextual characteristics: the political domain, the institution of parliament, the overall sociopolitical act of legislation, the participants in many different roles (politicians, party members, MPs, representatives, opposition members, etc.), and the local acts involved, such as defending or opposing a bill, giving a speech, criticizing the government, attacking opponents, and so on. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1113
