Topic Identification behind Political Discourse: What was said and what was meant?

When two speakers utter the same speech, using the same words; the meaning they convey to their audience can be completely different.In fact, speakers use words or terms to express ideas, but they do not always dictate their meaning or identify the topic of their speech.This generally occurs when political leaders use powerful words so as to be convincing and persuasive through their discourse.Thus, the aim of the study is to unveil the topics behind the speech of the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak during the Arab Spring Uprising in 2011 and the British candidate speech for the Prime Minister campaign held by Andrea Leadsom on July 4, 2016.Despite the clear diversion of key terms in each speech; there was a clear difference, between what was said and what was meant for, in both.

Abstract

When two speakers utter the same speech, using the same words; the meaning they convey to their audience can be completely different.In fact, speakers use words or terms to express ideas, but they do not always dictate their meaning or identify the topic of their speech.This generally occurs when political leaders use powerful words so as to be convincing and persuasive through their discourse.Thus, the aim of the study is to unveil the topics behind the speech of the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak during the Arab Spring Uprising in 2011 and the British candidate speech for the Prime Minister campaign held by Andrea Leadsom on July 4, 2016.Despite the clear diversion of key terms in each speech; there was a clear difference, between what was said and what was meant for, in both.
