Abstract

Political discourse is a special type of speech issued by the highest leadership of the state. Its linguistic structures contain the general features of state policy and its specific and general orientations, both internally and externally. It derives its distinction from the personality of its sender, the context in which it occurs, as well as its linguistic structure and the connotations, ideas, and rhetorical methods it contains. Positive political discourse strongly influences the masses, spreading a spirit of security and reassurance among people, especially if they find in it a sense of honesty and loyalty. This research aims to study the doctrine of giving in three models of speeches by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, exploring the linguistic strategies that appeared in these speeches, using semantic features that include words, styles, lexical choices, and repetition to clarify the doctrine of giving conveyed in his discourse.
