Dear all,
I am doing my research in the field of political studies. My first project was the analysis of language in a BBC forum using concordance and statistical programs. Having done that, I am now starting a new project which is going to be bigger and which is to result in a PhD thesis. As I still want to be in this field, I am thinking about analyzing political web sites, i.e. it can be official sites of presidents, political parties, etc. It would be interesting to see how these sites are constructed, what language is used there, and how the "ideology" of a party/politician is transmitted through these sites. I am not sure if I have been clear about my idea, but I would love to get your feedback and/or experience in doing similar research. Also, if you think that this idea isn´t worth working, tell me that! I am more than open for any kind of public opinion at this period of my research life!
Thank you very much,
Anna Ivanova PhD Candidate, University of Seville, Spain ivanova.re@gmail.com
