Abstract

The paper discusses evaluation in public political speech (as illustrated by the political speech of German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt). Various approaches to the study of evaluation, the nature and typology of evaluation are considered; the study of an evaluative situation involving obligatory and optional components is conducted: a subject of evaluation, an object of evaluation, content of evaluation, a reason of evaluation and a recipient - a component that is vital from the viewpoint of pragmatics. The rules and principles of public political speech composition and the components of speech composition considered in the science of eloquence â€" rhetoric - are analyzed (N.A. Bezmenova, Yu. V. Rozhdestvensky, E.N. Zaretskaya, I.A. Sternin, et al.). Public political speech is sequentially structured with a certain sequence of the speech composition components. Each component of the speech structure consists of the composition-speech forms: narration, description and reasoning (argumentation) (O.A. Nechaeva, N.V. Bessmertnaya, M.P. Brandes, S. K. Shendels, K. A. Andreeva). Argumentation is a composition-speech form of the public political speech structure, i.e. a set of arguments, a way of producing them to justify a certain statement. A linguistic analysis of the principal means of expressing the attitudinal meaning in one of the most striking speeches of German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt is carried out based on the developed model.
