Rezensionen
"The book provides an in-depth, multi-layered image of the various ways in which Obama indeed 'consistently frames political issues in line with nurturant values' ... . 'Framing the Rhetoric of a Leader: An Analysis of Obama's Election Campaign Speeches' provides an interesting read for any scholar interested in political discourse, rhetoric, discourse analysis, or metaphor analysis." (W. Gudrun Reijnierse, Metaphor and the Social World, Vol. 8 (1), 2018)
