Abstract

This article focuses on some specific linguistic features of public speeches delivered by Canadian politicians. Public figures frequently employ a variety of linguistic tools to convey their messages. Speeches are intended to have a strong impact on the audience and can sound very persuasive. At the same time, men's and women's voices sound different, and they use different expressions and patterns. Gender linguistics links the concepts of "gender" and "language." In this article, we examined the public speeches of Kim Campbell, the first female prime minister, and Justin Trudeau, the current prime minister. It is important in diplomatic discourse and helps to influence the citizens of the country positively. Politicians' political discourse is characterized by simple, unsaturated lexical structures, allowing society to understand and accept them easily.
