This study is concerned with a pragmatic study of impoliteness in political conflicts on terrorism. This work has set itself to tackle this issue in situations taken from the American presidential and vice-presidential debates. This topic is particularly selected for study because it has not been given its due attention in previous studies in the Iraqi academic circle. The integration of both first and second order conceptions of impoliteness is useful in the analysis of political communication, especially political conflicts. Relational work mechanism which comprises the entire spectrum of the interpersonal aspect of social practice displays a better understanding of how impoliteness is processed in political conflicts on terrorism. Politicians¿ reactions to and judgements of each other support the pragmatic analysis of impoliteness in such conflicts.

Literary data is supposed to reflect real life situations and is at the same time written in a style of writing that is considered as highly elevated. Such reasons have prompted the contributors to this book to deal with this type of data. Such attempts range from semantics to stylistics and pragmatics. This book introduces linguistic analyses of literary data from different points of view. This involves dealing with various linguistic topics and different types of literary data. Hence, many models are presented to analyze the linguistic aspects of those topics in the light of the genre in which those topics are undertaken. Accordingly, different results are yielded from those analyses and this makes each type of analysis distinct from the other ones. It is hoped that this work will be a useful source to all those - whether theoretically, practically, or both - interested in linguistics, pragmatics of literature, applied linguistics and literary stylistics.
