Keywords:
Análise, Discurso, Inferência, Implicaturas conversacionaisAbstract
Abstract (English): The current research article tackles word power, taking into account talking inferences adopting Grice´s perspective (1975). Being so, for the working out of this study, a political speech analysis was needed. Thus, Pieter W. Botha´s political speech of 1985 was adopted, at the time he was South Africa´s Prime Minister and President during the Apartheid system. Methodologically, the study embraced a bibliography consulting methodology (c.f. Marconi & Lakatos, 2003, Freixo, 2011), for allowing in a descriptive study to check the analogy and the differences between the elements of a structure for its analysis. To sum up, it might be stated that the speech analysis of the selected author, can be clinched that there is a systematic saying that leads to a gossiping as a discourse strategy. It might mean that a politic man never take responsibility of his sayings, for letting the receiver check the speech deed.
Key-words: Analysis, Discourse, Inference, Conversational Implicatures.
