Cell value: average count of that rhetorical pattern per 10,000 words, computed only over the speeches where the stance pass labelled this pattern as deploy (speaker uses the frame as their own argument). The number under each value (n=X) is how many speeches contributed. Cells with n < 3 are shown as "n=X" without a density value because the average isn't trustworthy at that sample size. The thin bar under each cell shows the stance split across all speeches that triggered this pattern: orange = deploy, blue = critique, grey = unrelated. Click any cell to read the speeches behind it.
