Focussing on print news media, this book establishes a set of socio-political keywords for the 'Blair Years', and demonstrates how their evolving meanings are indicative of the ideological landscape in Britain at that time, and the extent to which the cultural hegemony of the New Labour project influenced the language of the commentariat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining corpus linguistic approaches with critical stylistics the authors conduct an analysis of two newspaper corpora using computational tools. Looking closely at textually-constructed meanings within the data, their investigation of the keywords has a qualitative focus, and sets out a clear methodology for combining corpus approaches with systematic co-textual analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Walker\u003c\/b\u003e is a Postgraduate Researcher at Lancaster University, UK and a Research Associate at the University of Huddersfield, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesley Jeffries\u003c\/b\u003e is Chair Professor of English Language and Director of  the Stylistics Research Centre at the University of Huddersfield, UK.
