Abstract:

>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.
