After the terrorist attacks on New York’s Twin Towers, President Bush addressed a shocked nation. Despite the brevity, restraint, and the predictability of its ideology and content, the speech interweaves strategies which, when unpacked, illustrate the polarisation of us and them as one of the immediately evident structural themes.

Abstract
After the terrorist attacks on New York’s Twin Towers, President Bush addressed a shocked nation. Despite the brevity, restraint, and the predictability of its ideology and content, the speech interweaves strategies which, when unpacked, illustrate the polarisation of us and them as one of the immediately evident structural themes. This ideological polarisation can be traced through the evaluative lexis and speaker opinion as outlined by an analysis of Appraisal.
