Summary/Abstract: This work aims at investigating certain syntactic features identified in diplomatic speeches. The corpus was selected so as to span over almost 100 years (from 1918 to 2013) and to cover various situations and contexts. The work addresses topics such as the length and structure of sentences used in diplomatic speeches, identifying syntactic devices such as the rule of three,contrasting pairs, and effects such as syntax-originated presuppositions.
