Abstract

We examine individual lifespan change in the speech of an Icelandic MP, Þorgerður Gunnarsdóttir, who style-shifts after she switches parties, by becoming less formal as her political stance becomes more liberal. We make use of the resources of the Icelandic Gigaword Corpus, more specifically the Parliament section of that corpus, demonstrating how the reinvention of an identity in politics can be tracked by studying the collection of speeches given by a politician over time.
