Title: | A multifactorial analysis of metaphors in political discourse | Authors: | Zeng, H Tay, D Ahrens, K |
Issue Date: | May-2020 | Source: | Metaphor and the social world, May 2020, v. 10, no. 1, p. 141-168 | Abstract: | The rising prominence of women in politics has sparked a growing interest in comparing the language of male and female politicians. Many researchers have explored whether gender in politics has had an impact on their metaphor styles. While these studies have been oriented qualitatively and have concentrated on the two-way interaction between metaphor and gender, the possibility that metaphor and gender may interact with other additional factors is largely overlooked. This article adopts a quantitatively oriented approach complemented with textual analysis to explore potential multiple-way interactions between ‘metaphor’, ‘gender’, ‘speech section’ and ‘political role’ in political discourse. By conducting a case study of metaphor use in Hong Kong political speeches, we found evidence of gendered metaphors and their variability according to politicians’ political roles and different rhetorical sections in their speeches. | Keywords: | Gender Metaphor Multifactorial analysis Political discourse |
