This volume seeks to illustrate the fundamental role of language
in political action, focusing on the war in Iraq. It combines
quantitative methods, based on a sophisticated modular corpus that
was queried through special software with the aim of identifying
regularly occurring lexical and semantic patterns, with classical
discourse analysis, which seeks to investigate naturally occurring
language in the context in which it is produced. Interpreting the
field of politics quite widely, to include news reporting and a
quasi-judicial inquiry into the behavior of politicians and
journalists, discourses in the USA and the UK are considered. The
central purpose of the volume is to gain insights not just into
language, and the ways in which we can investigate it through a
corpus, but also into the ways in which political action is
realized through discourse.
