    Review: Hillary and Clinton | Second Thought Theatre | Bryant Hall theaterjones.com/ntx/reviews/20180115152423/2018-01-15/Second-Thought-Theatre/Hillary-and-Clinton Teresa January 14, 2018 Marrero Photo: Karen Almond Stormi Demerson and Barry Nash in Hillary and Clinton Dallas — There is something about a last name that defines married women. Take, for instance: Kennedy, Jackie or Roosevelt, Eleanor. The public knows them primarily from the complicated reference point of their unfaithful, in-the-spotlight political husbands, rather than from their own individual achievements. In the case of Clinton, Hillary, it is a name we are all too familiar within recent U.S. political history; a name who lost the 42nd presidential election in 2017 to one of the most nefarious characters in history. But Lucas Hnath’s play Hillary and Clinton is not that story. This one took place what seems like eons before, in 2008, and focuses on the first serious woman presidential candidate in the United States. However, this play—having its area premiere by Second Thought Theatre—is not about history; it is herstory told from an 1/4 intimate point of view on one winter’s night, on a Sunday evening, January 2008 in a New Hampshire hotel room during the primaries. In an unexpected win, Hillary sweeps the state against her then opponent, The Other Guy (Barack Obama), who would later win the presidential election. As nights go, this was a fateful one followed by defeat, a defeat that some say (and the play suggests) was based on her inability to break from the image of that other Clinton, her husband, who has marked her existence, one which includes a very public shame for all concerned named Monica.

  • Combining Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics to Analyse Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speeches
    Simon Berg Changing America: Combining Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics to Analyse Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speeches Simon Berg Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Brita Wårvik Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2018 Simon Berg Åbo Akademi University – The Faculty of Arts, Psychology and Theology Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Simon Berg Titel: Changing America: Combining Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics to Analyse Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speeches Supervisor: Brita Wårvik The aim of the study was to learn if there is any truth to the claims that Donald Trump has caused a new, harsher political discourse. This was done by analysing the presidential nomination acceptance speeches by Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. By comparing the four speeches it is possible to determinate if the speech by Trump stands out, either when it comes to content or how he speaks. The speeches are the first public appearance by the candidates after being elected as candidates for their party, this means that they are the end of the primary election and the beginning of the Presidential election campaign. The study is primarily conducted using critical discourse analysis. Due to the inherent flaws of critical discourse analysis, in that it lacks a dedicated method of gathering data and might therefore allow for a subjective interpretation of the findings, corpus linguistics has been introduced as a supporting element. This also brings another dimension to the research. The study functions as an experiment in combining critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics, to see if the two can be combined and whether the addition of corpus linguistics negates the characteristic problems of critical discourse analysis.

Once considered enemies, the United States and Cuba have reestablished diplomatic relations. The reestablishment of relationships is a surprise to many politicians because Cuba has not made the necessary changes to end the trade embargo put into place by the 1996 Helms­ Burton act. The majority of the friction in ending the embargo is from the Republican Party.

We assign \lexical fame" to be the number and (Zipfian) rank of the (lowercased) mentions made for each individual across all languages.
