15,690 words (approx. 62.8 pages) | 79 sources | APA | 2002 Saudi Arabia


Paper Summary:

The study provides an analysis of presuppositions and strategic functions in the speech delivered by George W. Bush nine days after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and some other US targets, Sept. 11, 2001. The tension between idealism and pragmatism, the conflict between "us" and "them" and some of the ideologies and power relationships in the speech are also explored.

From the Paper:

"Taking a great deal for granted and assuming familiarity with the history and current position of the US, bin Laden, al Qaeda and Taliban, "Islamist" movements and the Arab-Israeli conflict, the present study analyzes presuppositions, salient metaphors and associated roles and strategic functions in this "historic" speech in an attempt to understand some of the underlying ideologies and implicit claims made by Bush and the self and other representation in the speech. Moreover, the study explores some of the generic features of the speech what the speech has in common with other political speeches in general and with American political speeches in particular."
