Abstract

This article examines politeness strategies in diplomatic speeches delivered in international forums. The study responds to the problem that diplomatic language is frequently described as formal or indirect, but the pragmatic choices that preserve face while expressing disagreement require closer analysis. Using qualitative pragmatic analysis using politeness theory and speech-act classification, the article analyzes twenty publicly available diplomatic speeches from multilateral meetings. The findings indicate that speakers balanced positive politeness, hedging, inclusive pronouns, and indirect criticism to project cooperation while protecting national positions. The article argues that politeness in diplomacy is a strategic discourse practice that shapes both interpersonal respect and geopolitical positioning. By connecting language, literary form, and interpretation, the study offers a concise contribution to current debates in literature and language studies.

Abstract

This article investigates discourse strategies of persuasion in political speeches within the broader field of linguistics and applied language studies. The study uses ten public speeches delivered during election campaigns in English-speaking contexts and applies critical discourse analysis of pronouns, modality, repetition, evaluative adjectives, and narrative appeals. The main finding is that inclusive pronouns, crisis narratives, moral evaluation, and repeated key slogans created alignment between speaker and audience. The article argues that political language should be examined as a strategic construction of collective identity and responsibility. The discussion is relevant to researchers, teachers, curriculum designers, and graduate students who need concise but systematic models of linguistic inquiry.
