International researchers examine the interplay between gender and metaphor in political language in the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, and Singapore. They draw on a variety of corpus data to determine to what extent conceptual metaphors used by women in political power differ with, or remain the same as that of men.
