| Tiivistelmä: | This study deals with diplomatic talk to communicate political differences in a positive way to smooth out socio-political and ideological discrepancies often dividing prominent political figures. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA) perspective, analysed is textual data from press conferences involving the former Chinese President Jiang Zemin and the U.S. President George W. Bush, who come from different ideological backgrounds etc. Three major themes are found: positivity for the reinforcement of mutual trust, respect and progress; influence and power for subtle persuasion, and evasion to hedge or avoid responses to probing and inconvenient questions from the media. |
