Politicians make promises.
LANGUAGE OF PROMISES
Politicians make a lot of promises. Some of the promises are kept, many are not. Tracking the status of these promises might be helpful to hold them accountable, but the language they used in their promises also matters.
Politicians’ promises is a discourse analysis project that aims to explore the language and topics of promises made by politicians. The current version of the project focuses on U.S. politicians, including U.S. presidents and governors. The website will be updated when the research is expanded to other regions and languages in the future.
