Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/a-graphic-look-at-kevin-rudd-speeches-this-year/ Last week, Politico published an analysis of Barack Obama’s language. The words he used most often were “America”, “Health” and “Economy” (Politico included “American” in the count along with “America”). This prompts the obvious question: what are the favourite words of our own Kevin Rudd? Fortunately, the prime minster’s website publishes transcripts of all Kevin’s public utterances (although this does not include his speeches in parliament). There is a lot there and I had some help assembling over 400 pages of text constituting Kevin Rudd’s speeches from 2009. And above is what it looks like as a word cloud. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/a-graphic-look-at-kevin-rudd-speeches-this-year/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/a-graphic-look-at-kevin-rudd-speeches-this-year/#item949 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:49 +0000 M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr
