The analysis will mainly depend on six language functions: Referential, Expressive, Connative, Phatic ,Poetic and Metalingual. The corpus consists in a certain number of selected language functions from El- Assad speech which are translated from Arabic into English and to which we have made a simple analysis by referring to Functional Approach, relying on SKOPOS theory of Vermeer and K. Raiss Text- Typology and studying communication in political speech and we have compiled a set of results from our analysis of the translation
