| Abstract: | The present study is concerned with exploring the linguistic identity construction of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the context of USA 2008 Democratic Party primaries. Thus, their speeches are examined in order to detect the aspects of identity that each politician resorted to in the process of projecting a political identity. The study, however, takes a special interest in the ways in which gender identity is projected by Obama and Clinton. Moreover, the notions of gender bias as well as gender representations are also investigated. Diese vorliegende Studie untersucht die linguistische Identitätskonstruktion von Barack Obama und Hillary Clinton während der Vorwahlen der Demokraten 2008 in den USA. Dabei werden die Reden beider Kandidaten untersucht, um diejenigen Identitätsaspekte auszumachen. Insbesondere wird hierbei auf den Geschlechteraspekt eingegangen, und wie dieser von Obama und Clinton verwendet wird. Zudem werden unter anderem die Begriffe des geschlechtsbezogenen Verzerrungsprozesses als auch der Geschlechterdarstellung untersucht. |
