- Double-weighted statement
- This is a monograph of significant length (almost 350 pages) developed over the period of one decade. The theoretical framework is highly interdisciplinary (linguistics, cultural studies, critical discourse analysis, political science, presidential studies). The book is based on a large body of material with a multi-million word corpus of primary texts covering 220 years of presidential discourse, and about 500 secondary sources. The methodology combines extensive quantitative analyses with qualitative methods, including theme analysis and close reading of hundreds of speeches.
