Abstrakt: 

This paper investigates some functions of pronominal self-reference in political speeches in an international institutional context, thus aiming to contribute to the study of evaluation in political discourse. A total of thirty speeches by the last three Directors-General of UNESCO is used as a corpus for the present research. The analysis - which is undertaken from the point of view of pragmatics and stylistics - studies the role of personal pronouns used for self-referencing and the expressions with which they typically collocate as markers of positioning the self, expressing stance and organising discourse. Furthermore, it addresses idiosyncratic variation in the choice of self-reference devices in the addresses of the three speakers.
