- Focussing on The Times, this 6-chapter, 288-page monograph is a long-form output which demonstrates sustained research effort. It uses corpus linguistics to examine how suffrage campaigners’ different ideologies were conflated in the newspaper over a crucial time period for the movement – 1908 to 1914, leading up to the Representation of the People Act in 1918. Looking particularly at representations of suffrage campaigners’ support of or opposition to military action, the book uses a range of methodological approaches drawn from corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis. The book's insights have significant implications for researchers examining large, complex protest movements.
