*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.
