From an abundance of intensifiers to frequent repetition and
parallelisms, Donald Trump’s idiolect is highly distinctive from
that of other politicians and previous Presidents of the United
States. Combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, this book
identifies the characteristic features of Trump’s language and
argues that his speech style, often sensationalized by the media,
differs from the usual political rhetoric on more levels than is
immediately apparent. Chapters examine Trump’s tweets, inaugural
address, political speeches, interviews, and presidential debates,
revealing populist language traits that establish his idiolect as a
direct reflection of changing social and political norms. The
authors scrutinize Trump’s conspicuous use of nicknames, the
definite article, and conceptual metaphors as strategies of
othering and antagonising his opponents. They further shed light on
Trump’s fake news agenda and his mutation of the conventional
political apology which are strategically implemented for a
political purpose. Drawing on methods from corpus linguistics,
conversation analysis, and critical discourse analysis, this book
provides a multifaceted investigation of Trump’s language use and
addresses essential questions about Trump as a political
phenomenon.
