This dissertation aims to analyse and to compare the far-right populist discourses of Donald J. Trump and Matteo Salvini through a combined approach between Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics. More precisely, the present study takes into consideration Donald J. Trump’s and Matteo Salvini’s tweets and traditional speeches during the timespan covering the last three months of electoral campaign and the first seven months in office (including the transition periods) in order to compare their populist discourses – highlighting the presence of similarities and differences –, and to investigate the evolution of populist discourse, which has to adapt to social media’s peculiarities and constrains.
Il presente lavoro ha lo scopo di analizzare e comparare i discorsi populisti di estrema destra di Donald J. Trump e Matteo Salvini attraverso una metodologia combinata che include la Critical Discourse Analysis e la Corpus Linguistics. Nello specifico, questo lavoro si focalizza sui tweets ed i discorsi tradizionali di Donald J. Trump e Matteo Salvini durante gli ultimi tre mesi di campagna elettorale ed i primi sette mesi di governo (inclusi i periodi di transizione). L’obiettivo principale è la comparazione dei discorsi populisti in modo da evidenziare la presenza di similitudini o differenze, e di indagare l’evoluzione del discorso populista che ha dovuto adattarsi alle peculiarità e alle limitazioni dei social media.
