'Pragmatic Functions of Speaker-Oriented Boosters in Political Interviews.'
Original language description
A speaker's involvement in political interviews manifests itself in the frequent use of boosting and hedging devices that are employed by politicians to modify the illocutionary force of propositions. These devices serve various pragmatic functions depending on the context of the situation and the specific aims politicians desire to achieve. Politicians may want to assert themselves in front of their audience, influence their potential voters or show confidence in their claims. However, they are sometimes indirect and want to demonstrate detachment from their assertions. As the topic of a speaker's involvement in political interviews is too broad, this paper focuses on one type of boosters only, namely, on speaker-oriented boosters and on the interpretation of their pragmatic functions in the corpus of political interviews.
