The Political Speech in the Play O scrisoare pierdutã [A Lost Letter]
The article proposes to analyze the political speech in the comedy O scrisoare pierdutã by I.L. Caragiale. I will analyze the speeches of the characters Farfuridi and Caþavencu from scene I, act III, respectively the scenes V, VI, VII of the same act, from a semantic and pragmatic perspective. Both characters want to candidate for the position of deputy and the means to achieve their goal are different. The speeches of the two characters breaches the principle of the logical non-contradiction, the conversation maxims and the politeness rules, thus leading to create the effect of lack of logical-semantic organisation and lack of diplomacy in interpersonal relations. The author’s purpose is to get the comical effect by irony of the demagogue politician, embodied into the two characters.
