A CADS analysis of the European Parliament

What is it about?

The present paper merges (Critical) Discourse Analysis theory and Corpus Linguistic tools in order to sudy European Parliament speeches in English. The paper resorts to the European Comparable and Parallel Corpus of Parliamentary Speeches Archive (ECPC), compiled at the Universitat Jaume I (Castellón, Spain). ECPC is examined along synchronic and diachronic lines, with quantitative and qualitative methods, within an inductive study that commutes from the micro-text to the macro-context.

Why is it important?

There are not too many Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) studies performed with Corpus Linguistic tools. The quantitive/qualitative viewpoint this offers comes to complement other solid and rigorous CDA methods.
