Conceptual Metaphor and Foreign Policy in the 1988 Presidential Campaign
Abstract
This paper examines the rhetoric of the Cold War, as reflected in the speeches of the two primary candidates in the 1988 Presidential election, for the purpose of determining the extent to which Cragan's assessment is correct. The candidates’ campaign speeches are analyzed for signs of new alternatives to the Red Fascist or confrontationist rhetorical vision that has marked the Cold War since the Truman Doctrine speech of March 12, 1947.
