Why is it important?
Analysis of political images and perception emergent from multiple thematically homogeneous narratives requires a feasible methodology the algorithmic application of which helps to expose factual and emotive properties of the processed data. This article proposes such methodology developed at the crossroads of the image theory and cognitive linguistics and employed in the study of media narratives describing one and the same event (the Dutch referendum on Ukraine - EU Association Agreement) perceived by Ukraine and Russia as political adversaries.
Perspectives
This study was done within the international Jean Monnet research project "Crisis, Conflict and Critical Diplomacy: The EU Perceptions in Ukraine and Israel/Palestine (2015-2017)" coordinated by the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. For me, as a cognitive linguist, the work in an interdisciplinary team was very rewarding both professionally and personally. It evinced that political science may integrate into language studies, while the latter, cognitive linguistics in particular, may contribute to political analytics.
