Emotions and Discourse: The Analysis of British Prime Ministers' Speeches on Terrorism
Original language description
Emotions are inseparable part of speeches of political leaders, however they are still often omitted from discourse analysis, even though they can influence the political behaviour of citizens. The literature analysing emotions in discourse in speeches made by British leaders is still limited and this article attempts to fill this gap. It analyses the presence and evocation of emotions in 50 speeches in total delivered by the Prime Ministers of United Kingdoms between 9/11 and 2019 - Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Theresa May. It explains the importance of analysis of emotions and discourse and then presents the finding of analysis conducted in the NVivo programme for qualitative analysis. The speeches were coded and the presence of emotions and attempts to invoke them in the audience analysed. It finds that all of the analysed Prime Ministers use emotions in their speeches, both positive and negative. Even though each Prime Minister uses these emotions to a different extent, they all attempt to influence public opinion and gain support for counterterrorism policies.
