Abstract

This study examines the discourse strategies employed by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud in his speech at the 2020 G20 Riyadh Summit using Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. It aims to reveal how the ideology of monarchical legitimacy is constructed through textual structures at the macro-, super-, and microstructural levels, and how these constructions shape social cognition and reproduce power relations within the global socio-political context. The significance of this study lies in its effort to understand political speeches delivered at international forums as symbolic instruments of legitimation, particularly those produced by monarchical leaders. The findings indicate that King Salman’s speech strategically constructs a representation of Saudi Arabia as a responsible, solution-oriented, and humanitarian-oriented global actor. This discourse frames G20 countries as legitimate authorities in determining the direction of global governance, while positioning the international community as beneficiaries of these policies. These findings demonstrate that G20 discourse functions as a discursive mechanism to normalize and legitimize Saudi Arabia’s monarchical leadership within a global political landscape marked by uncertainty resulting from health, economic, and global governance crises.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms and analyze the causes of linguistic impoliteness in Taufiq al-Hakim’s drama Majlisu al-‘Adli by applying Jonathan Culpeper’s theory of linguistic impoliteness. It addresses the lack of research on impoliteness in Arabic drama texts, particularly regarding its causes, and demonstrates how linguistic impoliteness reflects power abuse in Arabic literary works. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting data through a reading and note-taking technique on dialogues that contain impolite expressions. The findings show that The Judge’s impoliteness manifests in face attacks, intentional strategies, hearer perceptions, and communicative tactics such as sarcasm and legal manipulation. The primary cause of this impoliteness lies in the abuse of power, as The Judge exploits his authority to defend certain parties and dismiss justice. This study also suggests that further research is needed on the relationship between linguistic impoliteness and humor in dramatic texts as a form of social critique.
