PUBLIC VS PRIVATE: DIGRESSION OF EDWARD II’S ROYAL DISCOURSE
Journal Title: Наукові праці. Серія "Філологія. Мовознавство" - Year 2017, Vol 294, Issue 282
Abstract
The article presents the analysis of the pragmalinguistic peculiarities of the digression of Edward II’s royal discourse. The linguistic representations of notions of public and private as well as of Passion and Reason in the king’s passionate speech are juxtaposed. With the help of speech act theory it is determined that the most prominent features of Edward’s royal discourse are directives, expressives and commissives, whose semantic and syntactic content changes depending on the recipient of the message and the intention of the speaker. The article poses a question about the efficiency of a ruler who is overwhelmed with dangerous emotions and private matters and who because of this neglects his public duties and fails as a king. Because any literary text is a communicative situation and language is the means of expressing the characters’ feelings, it became possible to make assumptions about Edward II’s emotional state judging by his speech. The article also concentrates on the importance of language, which performs the role of the medium between the author of a text and a reader and allows a deeper insight into the analyzed text.
