ABSTRACT This study analyzed the tone of public campaign remarks of right- and left-wing populist (Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, respectively) and right and left-wing non-populist (Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton, respectively) U.S. presidential candidates using DICTION 7.0. Findings suggest that populists tended to use a linguistic tone that is high in pessimism, group abstractness, and exclusion. Pessimism and group abstractness were positively associated with immigration language in right-wing populist speech. Commonality and “we-ness” were positively associated with populist language in left-wing populist speech.

最近美国总统竞选演讲中的民粹主义语言基调：字典分析

摘要这项研究使用DICTION分析了右翼和左翼民粹主义者（分别是唐纳德·特朗普和伯尼·桑德斯）以及右翼和左翼非民粹主义者（分别是米特·罗姆尼和希拉里·克林顿）的公开竞选言论的基调。 7.0。研究结果表明，民粹主义者倾向于使用悲观主义，群体抽象性和排斥性很高的语言语调。悲观主义和群体抽象性与右翼民粹主义言论中的移民语言成正相关。公共性和“我们性”在左翼民粹主义言论中与民粹主义语言成正相关。
