Legislative speeches – Methodological Advances

Abstract

With text from legislative speeches becoming accessible, and machine learning techniques entering methodologically, the possibility for quantative and qualitative analyses have expanded (e.g. ParlSpeech and ParlSpeechV2). This provides possibilities to evaluate theories about deliberation, position-taking, agenda-control, and empirical patterns such as length of speeches. The purpose of this panel is to present papers studying legislative speeches, and to discuss possibilities and limitations of studying legislative speeches. Chair: David Willumsen, University of Innsbruck.
