The following is an excerpt from a speech titled "Americanism" given by Warren G. Harding in 1920 regarding aid to European nations devastated by World War I.
In this example, the critic would examine the cluster of words and phrases around the key term "Old world stabilization" in order to find certain patterns.
In all, a critic can assume that these clusters work together to present aid for European reconstruction as an irresponsible and un-American plan.
In stark contrast, the terms in the cluster around "stabilize America" construct a rejection of the proposal as the only responsible and American choice.
Terms like make sure, think, practical, order, safeguard, live, and prosper construct a refusal of European reconstruction as safe and sensible.
