Popis: Magistrsko delo na podlagi pristopov Kritične analize diskurza in načel teorije argumentacije znotraj pragmatike primerja leksikalne (propozicijske), intencionalne (ilokutivne ali namenske) in predikativne (skladenjske) strategije, ki jih predsednika britanske in španske vlade, Boris Johnson in Pedro Sánchez, uporabljata pri oblikovanju svojega političnega jaza in pri vzpostavitvi naklonjenega odnosa z javnostjo v času pandemije covida-19. Cilj magistrskega dela je, na podlagi predvsem kvalitativne analize šestih izbranih javnih izjav ugotoviti, v kolikšni meri in na kakšen način izbira jezikovnih elementov vpliva na doseganje političnih smotrov. Following the fields of Critical Discourse Analysis and the Theory of Argumentation in pragmatics, this comparative master’s thesis focuses on the lexical (propositional), intentional (illocutive), and predicative (syntactic) strategies that Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Pedro Sánchez employ to build their political persona as well as their rapport with the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective is to determine, on the basis of a mostly qualitative analysis of six selected public statements, how and to what degree a language choice functions as a discursive strategy to obtain specific political effects.
