An Analysis of Donald Trump’s 2020 RNC Speech from the Perspective of Proximization Theory
Huiyuan Guo* and Junhong Dong
Abstract—The cognitive turn of Critical Discourse Analysis
(CDA) marks the commencement of Critical Cognitive
Linguistics (CCL), offering a disciplined theoretical perspective
on the conceptualized linguistic choices which are identified as
potentially ideological. Based on the newly developed theory of
proximization in CCL, this paper sets out to analyze Donald
Trump’s Speech delivered at 2020 Republican National
Convention. It finds out that the former U.S. president Donald
Trump is most skilled at construing spatial proximization in the
discourse space to legitimate his behavior and ideological
manipulation is subtly achieved by him through his combined
use of spacial, temporal and axiological proximization
strategies.
Index Terms—Political discourse, proximization theory, spatial-temporal-axiological model
