Annotation
This article examines political discourse as a strategically organized form of communication in which linguistic meaning is inseparable from context, speaker intention, audience interpretation and social purpose. Rather than treating linguopragmatics as a collection of isolated notions, the study proposes an integrated analytical framework in which contextual interpretation, speech acts, presupposition, implicature, deixis and communicative strategies interact in the production of political meaning. The research is theoretical and interpretive in design. It synthesizes positions represented in studies of pragmalinguistics, political discourse and pragmatic text analysis and applies them to recurrent communicative mechanisms of political speech. Particular attention is paid to the way political actors use illocutionary force, implicit meanings and deictic opposition to construct collective identities, legitimize positions, guide interpretation and influence audience response.
