Análisis de un discurso político: la investidura de Lenín Moreno

Abstract

The purpose of this descriptive research article is to analyze Lenin Moreno’s inaugural speech as President of Ecuador. Abundant literature exists on the analysis of political discourse in Spanish. However, little attention has been paid to the inaugural speech. Political discourse analysis proves to be helpful in better understanding how institutions work and how politicians interpret and conceive social reality. Thus it may be interesting to study the latest Latin American president’s inaugural speech by analyzing not only its content but also its linguistic aspects.
