*New Book: /The Person in Politics: Pronouns and Political
Personalization in U.S. Presidential Campaigns/*
*/
/*
Published by John Benjamins in the series /Discourse Approaches to
Politics, Society and Culture /(DAPSAC 107), this book explores the
growing trend of personalisation in political communication, where
individual personalities often overshadow parties and ideologies.
/The Person in Politics /examines the linguistic aspects of this shift
through a cognitive semantic analysis of pronominal references in U.S.
presidential nomination acceptance speeches. It highlights how
politicians emphasise individual leadership and construct collective
identities using personal pronouns.
This book will be valuable for scholars in cognitive linguistics and
political communication, as well as practitioners interested in the
strategic use of language in campaigns.
