Просодичні засоби вираження впевненості в англомовному політичному дискурсі

Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify and systematise prosodic characteristics of the certainty of public English speech. To achieve this purpose, the following tasks need to be solved: • to determine the place and role of prosody in conveying the semantic potential of a confident utterance; • to substantiate the importance of speaking with confidence in the field of political communication; • to systematise prosodic means typical for confident public speaking; • to analyse speeches: select several speeches by English-speaking politicians and analyse the prosodic devices used to express confidence.
