Abstract:
This article comprehensively analyses the potential for politicians‟ speeches to influence the public, taking into account the main linguistic and pragmatic factors: political, social, and cultural context, the communication occasion, the personality of the politician, and the structural features of the text that deter-mine the psycholinguistic effectiveness of the speech. The purpose of the research is to study the function-al and pragmatic opportunities of well-known US presidents‟ public speechesas a political tool and as part of a political strategy. It is a socio-and psycholinguistic study; its goal is not only to demonstrate the fea-tures of different types of communication strategies and tactics but also to explain how this variety arises, how society contributes to it and what complicates the emergence of productive social communications.Political speeches use both purely lingual and extra-lingual means that determine the conceptual con-tent and ways of verbalising meanings, explicable through specific strategies and tactics. The communica-tion situation includes a chronotope and a format for political public speech The personality of the politi-cian, his or her image and status, social and political experience, and degree of eloquence -all play an im-portant role in the preparation and implementation of the speech.
