The past is one of the traditional sources of inspiration for political discourse; it can provide very important arguments underpinning current political objectives. Even though both French presidents analyzed in this paper, Jacques Chirac (1995–2007) and Nicolas Sarkozy (2007–2012), were representatives of the post-Gaullist right in the French political arena, their approach to the past and their decisions to use it for their own political purposes were very different. The autor of this paper thinks that Chirac impersonated a “repentant“ attitude towards difficult times in the national past. Sarkozy on the other hand wanted to forge a vision of one common great history that every French person should be proud of. Even though the positions of the two French presidents vis-à- -vis the national past were different. The author argues that both of them made substantial use of memory in their communications. This paper provides quantitative lexicometry analysis comparing the use of key history-linked words in the two presidents’ statements.

Discourse Theory is a heterogeneous ensemble of approaches, which have recently brought some refreshment in the social and political sciences. Although it offers a kind of social ontology based on post-structuralist approach towards language and discourse, it does not provide with a given methodology, ready to use in empirical research. Hitherto prevailing researches have rather looked for empirical exemplifications of the assumed theory, than made their referential strategy clear and convincing. Therefore, an effort of supplementing the theoretical and methodological matrix with some definite research techniques, seems substantial. A more empirically oriented discourse research approaches as Critical Discourse Analysis or even lexicometrical research can be here of a great value. Although a significant differences in ontological assumptions can be observed, a combined research strategies, enabling well proved empirical research appear not impossible to work out and successfully utilise.
