The Lexicon of Politics

The study was conducted at the University of Pisa and involved a small sample of 31 second-year students, tested prior to their attendance of the official English Language course, in order to assess their extr…
Historical JTR
Giorgia Meloni’s ascension to prime minister of Italy occurred with serendipitous timing in terms of international newsworthiness.

This twist of fate is the point of departure for the study presented here. Adopting a historical a…

The study is divided into five parts. The theoretical perspectives underpinning the research, narrative theory, imagology and critical disco…
