The protesters used the medium of slogans to both communicate their political demands and hopes, and to respond and react to politicians’ speeches and the successive decisions made to appease the protesters’ anger. This paper aims to analyse a number of slogans as political and social practice performed by protesters, taking into consideration linguistic and semiotic elements in specific context(s). The work draws on a number of devices, such as humour, intertextuality, word plays, etc.; to analyse the persuasive effect of their messages.
