Pragmatics 13:3.401-422 (2003) International Pragmatics Association DOI: 10.1075/prag.13.3.03sul PERSPECTIVE IN THE DISCOURSE OF WAR: THE CASE OF COLIN POWELL1 Camelia Suleiman and Daniel C. O’Connell Abstract The following article applies both quantitative and qualitative methods of research to markers of perspective in a TV interview of Colin Powell on the CNN LARRY KING LIVE program from November 26, 2001. Perspective is well established in phenomenology and social psychology; its starting point is the conviction that every utterance expresses a point of view. From previous research, we accept the dialogical nature of perspective (see O'Connell & Kowal 1998) and further argue that perspective can be observed through measures of orality and literacy and through referencing (name and pronoun reference). The following measures of orality and literacy are examined: Back channeling hesitations, interruptions, contractions and elisions, first person singular pronominals, interjections and tag questions, and turn transitions from interviewer to interviewee and vice versa. We argue further that Colin Powell's perspective stresses the division between "we" and "they" with regard to the then imminent involvement in Iraq. Theoretical implications are discussed. Key words: Perspective, Television political interview, Dialogism, Orality/literacy, Referencing, The Middle East. Introduction This paper examines perspective in a television interview of Larry King with Colin Powell. Our perspectival approach assumes that every utterance expresses a point of view. The term is well established in phenomenology and social psychology. Earlier research on perspective and the political television interview emphasized the dialogic nature of perspective (see O’Connell & Kowal 1998). It also investigated indicators of perspective through markers of orality and literacy (see Alber, O’Connell, & Kowal 2002). -

Discovery Kids is the number one pre-school network in Latin America, the top pay TV network in Brazil for eight years, and operates the popular Discovery Kids Play digital app. The venture increases Nelvana’s production and distribution business on a global scale, and is the next step in Discovery’s expansion of its kids’ business. -

We are a shareholder, affiliate ISP and content provider in the YouView platform. We’re also an important content-aggregator, with commercial partnerships in place with providers including AMC, Netflix, Amazon and Sky (for the future launch of Now TV). Our aim is to ensure that our customers have access to an extensive content offering from a range of different sources, including the UK PSBs. We continue to invest in sport content, with innovation at the heart of everything that we do. This includes the launch of the UK’s first dedicated 4K UHD channel in 2015 and partnering with YouTube to simulcast the last two UEFA Champions League Finals. We value the role played by PSBs in delivering UK-centric content and PSB content remains incredibly popular with our customers. Current PSB prominence There are six channel listings per page on the YouView Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), which is used on the BT and Plusnet TV services.

Policy shifts of the post-apartheid period not only necessitated new visions for the future but also new structures. The creation of a value-based new identity in foreign policy needed to be accompanied by a transformation of institutions relevant for the decision-making process in foreign policy. Looking at foreign policy in the era of President Mbeki, however, it becomes obvious that Max Weber’s observation that “in a modern state the actual ruler is necessarily and unavoidably the bureaucracy, since power is exercised neither through parliamentary speeches nor monarchical enumerations but through the routines of administration”,* no longer holds in the South African context.
