abstract = {The value of a Cognitive Linguistic approach to the analysis of political texts has recently been demonstrated by Andreas Musolff (2003, 2004) and Jonathan Charteris-Black (2004), and their approaches will inform the methods adopted for the present project. Musolff’s corpus analysis of metaphor scenarios in political discourse (e.g. THE EU IS A FAMILY) demonstrates how political metaphors are "integral aspects of argumentative reasoning, i.e. reasoning which typically aims to prove a contested issue and thus also legitimize a certain course of action" (2004, 32).
