摘要

主位集中是一种定量的语言方法，可以反映一个人的说话风格。在某种程度上，它可能反映了说话者想要传达某些主题的程度。关于特朗普和普京在语言特征上的相似性的实证研究有限。因此，本研究旨在将普京和特朗普的演讲风格特征和基于主题集中的政治主题与普京、梅德韦杰夫、特朗普和奥巴马的演讲语料库进行比较。结果表明:1)普京和特朗普演讲的主题集中度值与其前例相比存在显著或微显著差异。2)两位领导人都非常重视民族主义的概念。3)不同时期的演讲主题词略有不同，反映了外部因素对语言选择的影响。本研究的结果可能对普京和特朗普的文体学研究有所启发。

Fellow or foe? A quantitative thematic exploration into Putin's and Trump's stylometric features

Thematic concentration, a quantitative linguistic method, can reflect the speech style of a particular person. It may, to some degree, reflect the degree of a speaker’s intention to communicate certain themes. There has been limited empirical research on the similarity between Trump and Putin with respect to their linguistic features. Thus, the present study aims to compare Putin’s and Trump’s stylometric features and political themes based on thematic concentration with a corpus of Putin’s, Medvedev’s, Trump’s, and Obama’s speeches. Results show that 1) Both Putin’s and Trump’s speeches’ thematic concentration values are significantly or marginally significantly different from their precedents’. 2) Two leaders pay great attention to the concept of nationalism. 3) Thematic words of their speeches were slightly different across periods, reflecting the influence of external factors on the choice of language. The results of the present study may shed light on the stylometric studies of Putin and Trump.

期刊介绍： The aim of Glottometrics is quantification, measurement and mathematical modeling of any kind of language phenomena. We invite contributions on probabilistic or other mathematical models (e.g. graph theoretic or optimization approaches) which enable to establish language laws that can be validated by testing statistical hypotheses.
