Description

This academic work examines the relationship between the White House press secretary and the press corps through detailed linguistic analysis of actual press briefing discourse. A corpus of approximately fifty press briefings from the late Clinton administration was compiled and analysed using concordance technology to reveal communicative strategies and discourse features. The book covers diverse political topics ranging from the Kosovo crisis to the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, demonstrating how corpus linguistics and linguistic evidence can illuminate the language patterns used by both government spokespersons and journalists. This original research combines corpus methodology with political communication analysis, offering scholars and linguists valuable insights into how language functions as a tool in high-stakes political discourse and strategic communication at the highest levels of government.
