A current thesis in the social sciences holds that radical shifts have occurred in the rhetoric of American presidents. The specific identification of the loci of these radical shifts is, however, quite problematic. Analyses of both verbal and prosodic components have been largely anecdotal. Closer empirical analyses challenge the thesis. In particular, the operational definition of 'conversational style' remains quite vague. Much more sophisticated methods must be brought to bear in order to clarify the allegedly new presidential rhetoric said to have been successfully used by Ronald Reagan. This article addresses these issues. It is a translation from the German of a recent publication by Kowal and O'Connell (1993). The translation has been made by the authors themselves and is published here with the kind permission of the German publisher.
