First, it examines how two politicians running for president in 2016 strategically drew on stereotypical tropes of Metropolitan New Yorkers to characterize themselves as brash and argumentative ‘tough guys’ from New York City and North New Jersey respectively in an effort to project strength and effectiveness as leaders. Second, it tests the extent to which Donald Trump’s abrasive persona was truly unique and norm-breaking upon his entrance into politics. Through comparative case studies of Trump and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie – both known for characterizing themselves as New York/New Jersey tough guys during the 2016 Republican primaries – this study examines their rhetorical styles prior to and during the 2016 primary debates. While both figures attracted attention for their impoliteness and blunt speech, only Trump successfully translated this into political success in the primaries and general election alike. While Christie’s brash rhetorical use of impoliteness maintained an image closely tied to that of a New Jersey tough guy, Trump’s tough-guy persona became increasingly idiomatic as his career developed from the 2000s. Moreover, Trump is found to use impoliteness strategies that are more gratuitously face-aggravating and <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">ad hominem</jats:italic> in nature. The data therefore confirms that Trump indeed entered politics as a more brash, offensive and norm-challenging politician even when compared to others, including those from his home region.","PeriodicalId":45849,"journal":{"name":"Language and Literature","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145619523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our questionnaire-based study compared readers’ empathic responses to original excerpts—rich in linguistic deviations mirroring the protagonist’s cognitive shifts—with responses to manipulated, stylistically neutral versions. Although we hypothesized that foregrounding would enhance empathy, quantitative data reported higher empathy scores for readers of the manipulated versions, though with no statistically significant differences between conditions. Regression analysis showed that aesthetic appreciation was the strongest predictor of state empathy. Foregrounding, conversely, emerged as a negative predictor, suggesting that salient stylistic features may distract from emotional immersion for some readers. However, collected post-reading reflections suggest that foregrounding fosters stronger emotional connections by creating more challenging emotional reactions, as readers become progressively involved in the narrator’s developments and regressions that materialize in his writing style. We provide multiple interpretations of the observed effects of foregrounding in relation to personal factors and the specific literary specimen, highlighting that foregrounding can both enhance and inhibit empathy depending on reader characteristics such as language proficiency and aesthetic sensitivity. While accessibility may facilitate immediate emotional connection, stylistic complexity appears to support reflective, often more intense responses. This study highlights the multifaceted role of literary style in shaping narrative empathy and suggests the need to account for individual reader differences in future empirical research.","PeriodicalId":45849,"journal":{"name":"Language and Literature","volume":"134 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145545672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study delves into the timeless allure of Spyri’s novel by examining its portrayal of spatial and emotional dimensions. Using a mixed-method approach that combines computational methods and human annotations, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between emotional content and landscape representation in <jats:italic>Heidi</jats:italic> , emphasizing the narrative’s reverential treatment of nature’s influence and reaffirming the novel’s dichotomous depiction of nature versus urbanity. Our investigation also exposes, however, disparities between computational sentiment analysis and human interpretations, underscoring some of the limitations of lexicon-based sentiment analysis methods. By advocating for a holistic approach that amalgamates computational techniques with human insights, we advocate for a nuanced understanding of sentiment analysis in literary works, one that acknowledges the subtleties and complexities woven into the narrative. We call for continued exploration to refine sentiment lexicons, explore sentiment variation across diverse literary genres and cultural contexts, and delve deeper into the interplay between sentiment and fictional space.","PeriodicalId":45849,"journal":{"name":"Language and Literature","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145188448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, the article explores the use of verbs in Cave’s similes and considers how such constructions, labelled <jats:italic>dynamic similes</jats:italic> , give rise to a sense of eventfulness anchored in embodiment. Through corpus methods, the prominence of verbs in Cave’s similes is first investigated in contrast to two sub-corpora of the British National Corpus, BNC Fiction &amp; Verse and BNC Newspapers. The comparison shows that Cave’s similes are richer in this regard than the sub-corpora. Further, building on a semantic categorisation of the data, two salient types of simile are analysed more closely: similes containing verbs of movement and psychological processes. Applying insights on profiling verbs from Cognitive Grammar (Langacker, 2008), as well as the notion of eventfulness in lyric texts (Hühn, 2016), the article finds that the dynamicity of Cave’s similes typically serves to convey the intensity of mental processes, even with verbs of movement, and is frequently reinforced through progressive verb forms and accompanying sensory lexis. The article additionally concludes that by evoking experiential similarities (Dancygier, 2022), Cave’s similes often invite embodied engagement on the recipient’s part.","PeriodicalId":45849,"journal":{"name":"Language and Literature","volume":"687 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
