| Abstract | ||||
| This study intends to examine the English commemoration expressions of King Abdullah II of Jordan on the Silver Jubilee Occasion (2024) in declarative discourse with the aim of King Abdullah II expressing His Majesty’s congratulations for the inhabitants of Jordan on the Silver Jubilee Day, as well as an argumentative discourse to examine and make inferences about the momentary years. This is conducted to draw the lines for the forthcoming years and to convince the interlocutor and Jordanian inhabitants of the significance of these conclusions and inferences and to act in the way proposed by His Majesty King Abdullah II. It focused on King Abdullah II organizing the given discourse to familiarize the inhabitants of the Jordanian realm in 2025 with pragmatic features. King Abdullah II Silver Jubilee 2024 discourse is presented in this work as full of hearty love, promising wishes, pride, nationalism, mutual support, and respect for Jordanians of different cultures, races, traditions, ethics, and beliefs. It is revealed that the ideas of the Jordanian nation being united, the tolerant community, and personal role and readiness for sacrificing are the key thoughts of His Majesty's Silver Jubilee 2024 message. It focused on the situation layout and the recorded and printed materials used to reach the purposes of the King Abdullah II Silver Jubilee 2024 discourse by creating a semi-official, eminent, peaceful, mystic, and figurative atmosphere in the provided discourse. It is indicated that challenging tactics and tempting-to-act tactics are implemented within the King Abdullah II 2024 discourse. It is shown that orientation on the Silver Jubilee Day, on the courageous acts of national personalities, on His Majesty's willingness to serve the nation, as well as on the Jordanian national teachings in the form of legends, are supportive of attaining the pragmatic purposes of the King Abdullah II Silver Jubilee 2024 discourse. The researcher used Searl’s categorization of speech acts (1979) and Elwood’s semantic principle (2004). Additionally, the researcher concludes that assertiveness has the highest occurrence and proportion of illocutionary acts committed by citizens. Besides, the semantic principles, and particularly the expression of sympathy, have the highest occurrences and proportions among related strategies. Finally, the study also displays that presidents of state commemoration messages are more compassionate, emotional, softhearted, and associative than ordinary citizens in expressing their feelings and emotions. | ||||
