Using Transitivity Analysis on Joe Biden Press Conference After Meeting with Putin
Introduction
Currently, the international condition between U.S. and Russia has been so tight that many inevitable issues arise. I select a news article in The Economist. This four-hour meeting is meaningful because it shows that North America and Russia need assistance from each other to reach a condition when both of them will be beneficial in terms of their own profit. Even though the Chinese president did not attend the meeting, China still seems to stay at the forefront of the discussion topic.
The application of speech helps clarify the speaker’s opinion on the current affairs issues. Speech is applicable formulating humanity issues alongside formal occasions. For instance, it is applicable in persuasion where human beings are requested to treat their environment with respect. The conversation between Biden and Putin delivered what was in their mind, their thinking on world issues such as the war in Iran and global climate and agreeing on how to deal with the happenings. Language can influence beliefs, thought patterns as well as attitudes. The meeting between the two world leaders and the delivery of their messages served strong purposes. The surge over the efficacy of the superpower policies extends broadly to the two country’s involvement in Iran and war in Syria.
Generally, Biden’s views could be categorized as language in context, which in most cases is referred to as discourse. In this case, the analysis focuses on text and encompasses the place, situation, and time context within which the text is produced. Biden uses the power of language to change the perception of China and Russia, establishing the fact that the relations between North America and Europe, including other economies of the world, is still close. The language in discourse reflects the society’s condition and reveals the happenings globally, which eventually reflects society’s beliefs.
Therefore, the struggles between the superpowers are chosen in this study owing to the key position and role that they play when it comes to global climate and security. Biden, as a principal, plays an important role in advancing humanity since he speaks for the interest of the various democracies across the world.
