The deliberative dimension of Informative Discourse During the Corona Pandemic, a Study in the Purposes

Abstract

The idea of this research revolves around the manifestation of the
meaning of discourse in a specific context, considering language as a living
use, and not only abstract signs, as grammar practices may show, but rather
requires the production of knowledge that makes these signs live interactive,
which requires studying the context. The research will study the Informative
discourse of the Jordanian Ministry of Health in light of the Corona
pandemic, using the pragmatic approach. Because it is the method
concerned with studying language in usage, in addition to being concerned
with studying the intentions of the discourse producer, and how it can
communicate these intentions at a level that exceeds the level of literal
significance. Accordingly, the research will study the mechanisms by which
the discourse producer employed the different linguistic levels in a specific
context, in order to enable the speech to be able to convey its aims, taking
into account external facts such as the speech's time, place, and production
context. Emphasis will be placed on discourse strategies that have served
purpose and authority; Purposes with the required strategies of persuasion,
and the authority required by the strategies of guidance and allusion.
