It illustrates the potential of studying the production and perception of individual text genres as governed by particular mental models. Such mental models, it argues, are possible to isolate analytically and verify statistically. Differences in English- and Bulgarian-language political speeches are used to demonstrate the possible application of the suggested approach.</p>10aContrastive Studies10aсъпоставителни изследвания1 aTincheva, Nelly  uhttp://www.scripta-bulgarica.eu/en/node/858
