Annotation

This volume discusses political speeches, and especially commemorative addresses, from a critical discourse analytic approach, with special attention to the role of rhetoric. The example of the address of the Dutch Queen Beatrix to the Israelian Knesset in 1995 shows that these addresses are representative and epideictic.
