Abstract

Values are an important part of our life; whether in everyday life or in public life, it is a humane action. In politics, language comes primarily as a means of communication, which is intricately connected with politics. The present study attempts to deal with linguistic evaluation in political speeches based on a speech by German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the occasion of the UN Conference on climate Change and climate protection.

In order to present a meaningful analysis of the linguistic evaluation and a presentation of the values, sublimates the need for a short presentation about the function of the values as well as types and classification of the evaluations. The focus of the present study is on the German political speeches, in particular the speech of the Federal Chancellor.

The reason for choosing the speech to be studied is the fact that linguistic use in the field of politics plays a significant role due to the close relationship between language and politics.

The present research paper is not about quantitative analysis or analysis methods, but about a careful selection of text documents of a political speech, which serve as the basis of a linguistic analysis. Thus, the types of linguistic assessment will be presented shortly. As a result, the evaluation is also discussed as one of the dominant speech acts and several linguistic means on the different language levels, so that the evaluation can be understood as much as possible from a linguistic point of view.
