A Comparative Analysis of the Engagement Resources in the Harris-Trump 2024 Presidential Debate: A corpus-based study

چکیده: (147 مشاهده)

The Engagement system of the Appraisal framework provides a descriptive characterization of how speakers/writers express their interpersonal positionings in terms of what kind of representation they use to show other voices in and in terms of how they engage with that representation (Martin & White, 2005). The present study employed the Engagement system to analyze the presidential debate held between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in September 2024 Presidential Debate. It attempted to explore the most common engagement resources employed by Harris and Trump to enact interpersonal meanings. The findings showed that both speakers used more dialogically contractive resources than expansive. This indicates that the candidates’ stance is that of more challenging the space for alternative positions rather than opening it up for alternative voices. Interestingly, Harris used more proclaiming resources of concur and pronounce than did Trump to set herself against alternative positions. Trump’s high use of expansive resources of entertain seems to be an employed strategy of giving the impression of friendly openness calling for all voices and then ending with what would be allowing only for those agreeing with him to be let in. While the study is limited to the small data size, the findings provide us with insights into the most commonly employed engagement resources in Harris and Trump’s speeches.
