| Abstract: | The study provides an analysis of presuppositions and strategic functions in the speech delivered by George W. Bush nine days after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and some other US targets, Sept. 11, 2001. The tension between idealism and pragmatism, the conflict between 'us' and 'them' and some of the ideologies and power relationships in the speech are also explored. |
