Abstract:

Building on Raymond Williams' iconic "Keywords" released in 1975, Jeffries and
Walker show how some pivotal words significantly increased in use and evolved
in meaning during the years of the 'New Labour' project. Focussing on print
news media, this book establishes a set of socio-political keywords for the
'Blair Years', and demonstrates how their evolving meanings are indicative of
the ideological landscape in Britain at that time, and the extent to which the
cultural hegemony of the New Labour project influenced the language of the
commentariat.

Combining corpus linguistic approaches with critical stylistics the authors
conduct an analysis of two newspaper corpora using computational tools.
Looking closely at textually-constructed meanings within the data, their
investigation of the keywords has a qualitative focus, and sets out a clear
methodology for combining corpus approaches with systematic co-textual
analysis.
