“…Thus, he ignores the second question of the reporter in such a way that not only enables him to avoid answering the question but to show his reluctance and annoyance. In this way, evasion is apparent and highlighted (Ahmed et al, 2021;Garifullina et al, 2021;Widiasri et al, 2019).…”

This study, therefore, aims at identifying the pragmatic structure of Trump's strategic maneuvering in a coronavirus press conference. In accordance with its aim, the study hypothesizes that strategic maneuvering in Trump's coronavirus press conference is pragmatically constructed by three stages, namely: the unveiling, the maneuvering, and the terminating stages, and each stage of its pragmatic structure has certain tactics and strategies. For the sake of achieving its aim and testing the validity of its hypothesis, this study follows certain steps. It mainly reviews the relevant literature about strategic maneuvering, analyzes six situations from the press conference at hand via a model developed by the study for this purpose. The analysis conducted by this study has led to a variety of conclusions, the most central of which is that Trump's strategic maundering is pragmatically rooted in terms of stages, tactics, and strategies. Additionally, the analysis proves the workability and instrumentality of the pragmatic model developed by the study to examine strategic maneuvering in Trump's coronavirus press conferences from a pragmatic point of view.

“…According to Mey (2001), pragmatics studies the use of language in human communication as determined by the conditions of society. A pragmatic perspective will focus on the societal factors that make a certain language use more or less acceptable (Mey, 2001;Ahmed et al, 2021;Khammari, 2021).…”

In any society, it is generally believed that peaceful co-existence hinges on effective communication and understanding of the peculiarities of each section in the society. The generation of meaning is therefore a sine qua non of mutual relationships in a communication situation. This study examines the use of language in the daily routines of the Nigerian Army. It makes use of pragmatic tools to interpret the utterances and the symbolic actions that take place during parade exercises in the Nigerian Army. The study is empirical and the analysis is guided by Austin’s Speech Act theory, supported with Searle’s Indirect Speech Act and Bach and Harnish’s Intention and Inference. The data analyzed in the study were recorded during a parade in a Nigerian Army Division at Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Participant observation was also employed. The study reveals that context, mutual contextual beliefs and non-verbal communication are prominent pragmatic tools in the language of the Nigerian Army during parades. It was found that activities on the parade ground are carried out using both verbal and non-verbal means of communication. Symbols, dress and appearance are significant, non-verbal features in the Nigerian Army. The study also revealed that regular use of authority in the military mirrors the illocutionary force of command; therefore, the language is more often than not forceful rather than persuasive. As such ‘alerting’ ‘informing’ and ‘commanding’ acts are prominent acts in parade language.

This study seeks to explore the use of adverbs of manner in Harper Lee's “To Kill a Mockingbird” in an attempt to understand their role in forming the narrative and stylistic effects of the novel. The data source is the first edition of the novel, Lee, 1960. A chapter purposively sampled from the beginning, middle, and the end of the book was selected for analysis. Identification and subsequent classification of all the adverb manner instances in these chapters by their semantic categories and syntactic positions were carried out. The analysis showed that Lee used many adverbs of manner (N =127), with Adverbs of Degree being the most frequent category followed by a very diverse range of other adverbs. The most frequent position of adverbs of manner was pre-verb. These findings suggest that Lee uses adverbs of manner purposefully to contribute to character development, atmosphere, and the exploration of key themes in the novel. The present study offers an insight into stylistic effects created by the adverbs of manner in the literary text and has implications for language teaching and literary analysis.
