This section analyzes the speeches of political party leaders in parliament and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's post-cabinet meeting statements using the "dictionary method":
According to the speech analysis of political party leaders, Erdoğan has focused on the economy, terrorism, and employment, while Özgür Özel has focused on the economy and education. The fact that Özel's most frequently used words are "lira," "minimum," "Turkey," "percent," and "raise" corroborates this finding. The economy is the topic most frequently addressed by the other leaders as well, alongside Erdoğan and Özel. Bahçeli instrumentalizes Manichean discourse the most, whereas Erdoğan predominantly instrumentalizes populocentric discourse. Meanwhile, anti-elitist discourse dominates the statements of DEM Party spokespersons.
