A more Holistic Approach to the study of Affective Language: affect control theory and intensity marking in political speech

Bachelor thesis | Engelse taal en cultuur (BA)
There is currently a very wide range of different approaches on the study of emotional meaning in language. This paper discusses how these different approaches might be combined within the same model. I hypothese a framework, which incorporates both pragmatic and sociolinguistic theory, and illustrates how this framework could be used to compare the emotional meaning of US politicians in relation to their American culture.
