The present study investigates the utilization of pragmatic strategies employed by politicians during American political debates as a means of avoiding direct confrontation. It is hypothesized that politicians employ implicature and presupposition in order to navigate talks, which may include redirection, non- answers, and questioning. Politicians also flout Grice's maxims in order to avoid providing direct responses, allowing them to manipulate the established conventions and expectations of conversations. </em></strong></p> Souad Hafed Mahdi Prof. Qasim Obayes Al-Azzawi Copyright (c) 2024 Authors https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2024-04-19 2024-04-19 4 03 1 13 10.55529/jpps.43.1.13
