This paper investigates the emotional functions of a discourse and pragmatic markers in Georgian and American pre‐election discourse. The study adopts a comparative corpus‐based methodology, integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses. The theoretical framework draws on pragmatics, discourse analysis, and corpus linguistics to explore how political language strategically uses markers to influence voters. The data include 108 Georgian and 117 English‐language pre‐election speeches (2019–2023). The results reveal that the English‐language discourse uses more emotionally expressive and varied attitudinal markers, while the Georgian discourse relies more on certainty and reminders to assert authority. These findings reflect underlying cultural communication styles and offer insights into political persuasion strategies across languages
