AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Tom Clark examines Prime Minister John Howard's speech patterns and use of language over the period in which he held public office. Clark argues that Howard 'crafted a range of phrases, phrase-building tools and thematic connections that complied with the prosodic requirements of the situations in which he found himself ... In so doing, he had a lengthy and uninterrupted period to build up the publics in which his poetics resounded.'
