Politics and language are intimately intertwined, and politicians excel at using language tactics and techniques to achieve certain political purposes. Fictitious pragmatic presupposition is a special phenomenon of pragmatic presupposition, which transfers non-mutual knowledge that is disputed, unacceptable or, at least, unknown to one party of the communication. This paper aims to provide a critical discourse analysis of fictitious pragmatic presupposition in the speech delivered by Mike Pompeo at the Nixon Library, July 23, 2020. This approach makes it possible to expose the purposes and the realization of fictitious pragmatic presupposition as well as the underlying ideologies embedded in the speech. |
