Rezumat: In this paper, we propose a linguistic analysis of the post-attack speeches of Presidents François Hollande and Emmanuel Macron, which were delivered in the aftermath of the international terrorism wave that has challenged Europe since 2015. The discourse analysis here conducted demonstrates that the political and social activities following these murderous events are based on a highly emotionally- charged language, both at the micro-textual and macro-textual level. The analysis shows that the presidential utterances contain discourse markers, such as personal pronouns or deictic elements, that trace the speaker's presence as well as a subjective modality expressed by adverbs, modal verbs, and subjective words that communicate the ethos and pathos of the speaker to the addressee. The paper aims to highlight not only the discursive aspects common to both post-attack official speeches; but also the differences in the ethical approach of the two Presidents.
Cuvinte cheie: markers of speech, pathos and ethos, political discourse, subjectivity in discourse
