Abstract:

Framing the Rhetoric of a Leader investigates Barack Obama's much celebrated
rhetoric from a cognitive semantics point of view. Based on a selection of 30
election campaign speeches during Obama's first run for the American
presidency in 2008, the book provides an application of Lakoff's (1996) Strict
Father and Nurturant Parent models of political morality. Degani explores the
question of whether the Democratic presidential candidate presented himself as
a 'nurturant parent' at this crucial phase in his career, as predicted in
Lakoff's models. The empirical approach taken in this book combines the
identification of moral values, conceptual metaphors and key terms contained
in the speeches to provide a comprehensive analysis of Obama's language and
political discourse in the USA. This book will be of great interest to
researchers of political discourse, rhetoric and American politics, as well as
to speech writers.
