Abstract

The various criticisms addressed by social media and by some economic experts, whether Haitian or foreign, suggest that the words of former President Jovenel Moïse have a direct effect on the functioning of the Haitian economy as head of state. Thus, this article focuses on this former President of the Republic of Haiti, His Excellency Mr. Jovenel Moïse. The analysis of this discourse is made taking into account the usual categories of the analysis of the content of the speech, the elements of which are the following: (1) the themes treated in the speech (2) the orientation of the speech (3) the values conveyed in the speech (4) the means proposed by the speaker to achieve his values (5) the social characteristics of the speaker (6) the references of the speech (7) the overall analysis of the discourse dividing into the identification of the theses involved, the analysis of the presuppositions and the study of the system of enunciation. Finally, we interpret discursive analysis by studying the paradoxical injunction and the double constraint. In this speech, President Jovenel Moïse aimed to: (1) enable stakeholders to take effective and efficient actions in the face of Haitian economic crises; (2) make statements about the current state of Haiti; (3) express dissatisfaction with the functioning of the country. This discourse is also part of a logic of influence of the mechanistic type where the PREPOC is personified and valued. To apologize, he aims at the same time to empower the demonstrators, the bandits and his predecessors, he creates a situation of double constraint between him who assumes his speech and his predecessors and the Haitian citizens whom she paints as incapable and irresponsible.
