Orphic myth of creating and maintaining the reality through the word isn't merely a legend. Daily we face with verbal representations which are interpreted differently depending on the power with which these are pronounced. The word "power" comprises here a variety of processes, strategies, methods of obtaining and preserving the power. The present paper attempts to present a linguistic analysis from Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) point of view, of some concrete manifestations of politico-diplomatic language's power. This paper approaches the method of analysis of argumentation in discourse, which apply pragmatic and rhetoric elements aiming at examining the way under which interact a locator and his receiver, exercising a reciprocal influence on each other through their discourse and verbal representation. The paper, finally hopes to offer a glimpse into the use of pragmatic modalities which influence the discursive relation between interlocutors. It emphasize on the analysis of politico-diplomatic discourse's evolution from modal point of view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
