A Pragmatic-Discourse Analysis for the Political Language Speech Acts in SCAF Selected Statements
2024
Overview
Following the January 25th revolution, the transition phase was led by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) from January 2011 to 2012. During this time, SCAF issued a series of official statements and two are selected and examined in this study through a pragmatic-discourse approach. The aim is to uncover the implied meanings of these statements by analyzing speech act types, politeness strategies, politeness principle, and linguistic markers used by SCAF. The methodology framework includes speech acts by Austin and Searle, Politeness Theory by Brown and Levinson, Politeness Principle by Leech, and Discourse Analysis by Van Dijk. The study aims to understand how language was used by SCAF to shape public opinion and influence events. Two statements were chosen and analyzed, showing language as a powerful tool for conveying powerful messages. The findings show that language has been used as a perfect means to send powerful, desirable messages using pragmatic devices. The presence of politeness theory expressed in face threatening and face saving acts choices has been demonstrated in the study of the statements as a specimen of formal written institutional discourse. The study suggests that other linguistic frameworks could be used for critical discourse analysis.
