Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the theoretical and methodological bases of the research project Political Communication in Hungary, 1990 to 2015. The objective of the project is to give a historical description of the advancement of political communication for the past twenty-fi ve years. The method defi nes events, endogenous or exogenous ruptures in everyday politics, as the specifi c triggering points for communications processes, in which the political agents and communities are eager to restore the normal ways of politics. The analyses will search for referential and discursive networks in the communications upon events. Together with social semiotic research, the network analyses will lead to the mapping of political communities within the overarching Hungarian political community.
