In his contemporary speech, the Holy See tackles feminism as it deems dangerous and threatening. He developed a phallocentric discourse new and suitable for its time, which reuses the feminist concepts reversing their meaning. The strategy of camouflage of his own phallocentrism works in part: it managed to avoid the opposition of an audience, both Catholic and citizen, for whom the theory of social subordination of women to men is inaudible and unacceptable. In this sense, the discourse of the Holy See corresponds to an anti-feminism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The idea of progress in mankind has grown up from the critic of religious traditions, thanks to Xenophanes, Anaxagoras and Socrates' master Archelaus who is quoted by the political philosopher and orator Themistius. The main feature of his major orations is the use of themes from Roman history. The scholiast of oration 1 was probably aware of this progress in oratorical skill, which began to be perceptible when in May 357 Themistius delivered oration 3 as a chief of a Constantinopolitan legation for the imperial Vicennalia. From now on the theme of progress was frequently dealt with, namely progress of mankind (the paper furnishes a less intricate explanation of a famous passage about the development of Greek tragedy), but also a progress of governing through CtXav0p0mia, the imperial virtue par excellence, which induces to welcome every kind of population on Roman territory. Important is on this aspect Themistius' contribution to the formation of Byzantine political ideology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the significance of the concepts of "Europe" and "European integration" in the Romanian public discourses, namely the way in which the significance of these terms were reconfigured over time, according to the development of socio-historical contexts and themes. The analysis is based on the premise that Romania's integration into the European Union occurred according to different temporal rhythms (just like the European Community was built "at different speeds"). The chosen historical period, from the end of World War II up to Romania's accession to the EU, highlights the structure of discourses about Europe's unity in diversity and the relation between European integration and phenomena like globalization and modernization.

In this article, the author seeks a better understanding of the modalities of political action (speaking, writing, claming, staging), and more specifically of the relation between political action and the idea of emancipation. To do so, the author proposes that the speech act, comprehended as the performed articulation of lived space/time, is to be taken as the paradigm of political action. Further analysis of this paradigm, as developed in the article, compels the manifestation of a philosophical object which qualifies both as event and as the manifestation of the perennially of the common.

The style of politician speeches reveals their personalities and their communication strategies. In order to analyse the style of Quebec prime ministers, from 1960 to 2005, a corpus of 789 speeches have been built up and a quantitative stylistic analysis has been applied to it. The main indicators used are the grammatical categories, especially the verbs and pronouns, the length and the structure of the sentences. This statistical comparison shows some important differences between the styles of the prime ministers and between the communication strategies they have followed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After the conference at Luca in 56 BC, where Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey renewed their Triumvirate, Cicero was forced to accept a compromise, which appears in the orations that he delivered to defend both the Triumvirs (De prouinciis consularibus) and his own enemies (defence of Vatinius and Gabinius). In a letter to Lentulus Spinther of December 54, Cicero justified his new political attitude toward the popular leaders. Designed as a plea, this letter, one of Cicero's longest, raises the question: "What similarity is there between a letter and a speech in court or at a public meeting?" (Fam.IX, 21, 1). Relying on the intertextuality of the letter to Lentulus with the oration Pro Plancio, delivered four months previously, this paper considers how Cicero adapts appropriateness and decorum to his addressee and displays a rhetoric that is half way between judicial eloquence and epistolary discourse.

The article examines the last 26 maiden parliamentary speeches of French prime ministers, starting from the one that Jacques Chirac pronounced on June 5, 1974, to that of Dominique de Villepin, on June 8, 2005. This collection of speeches represent 181094 lexical forms. In all the speeches, the topic of employment is used 328 times, which represents an average of a little more than ten times per declaration. In comparison, de Villepin uses it 44 times in his speech. In 1988, former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard inaugurated favoring concepts of consensual communication on the account of resolutions and ideological conflict.

The article presents the authors' views on the growth of the journal "Language et Société," since its inception in the year 1977. According to them the journal appeared as a working paper in its initial years, mainly from the team created by Manager Pierre Achard. It was mainly due to the scientific orientations of Achard that the journal made significant contributions in various facets of speech. After Achard's death, his successor Sonia Branca ensured the editorial quality of the journal for eight important years. She also played a major role in developing international scientific contacts and construction of links with the community of linguists. The team that succeeds Branca today is based on an editorial project that has principles of continuity and growth. In the future the journal has plans to publish issues specifically concentrating on the areas of discipline and the analysis of speech in countries like Germany. The journal is bound with the principles of functioning and orientations, which have aided it in its growth.

The article discusses theories of argumentation related to televised political debates taking place in the modern society. The debates are interrogated in terms of interpretational relations and multisubjectual aspects. It suggests that political debates can produce the context which can be easily identified. The theories convey the fact that the political speeches can be misleading and conventional. Political speeches feature the unofficial aspects which are of little benefit to the society. The theories also characterize language as a political tool, which can overpower or repel a political action.
