Abstract:
This book explores the language used by the United Nations Resolutions on the
Question of Palestine. The corpus used in this analysis includes sixty-six
Security Council Resolutions (2965 words) and forty General Assembly
Resolutions (2529 words) from 1948 to 2006 related to the most relevant events
of the conflict.
In particular, the study investigates the role of the English verbal system in
relation to modality in the institutional language of the United Nations and
the different pragmatic purposes of its normative text types, taking into
account the communicative interaction between the legal authority, the United
Nations, and the addressees, Member States and the International Community. It
discusses the use of prescriptive and performative verbs used to express
different degrees of obligation in the United Nations documents.
Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
Pragmatics
Text/Corpus Linguistics
