This paper aims to analyze the role of the authority of literary discourse among Nobel Peace Prize laureates as a pragmatic study. The pragmatic approach is used to achieve study objectives. The findings demonstrate that various Nobel Peace Prize laureates have resorted to the authority of literary discourse to support their speeches with evidence and convince other individuals in various societies at both the formal and informal levels of their proposed content. The results also indicate that the authority of the literary discourse had a significant presence in the speeches of the laureates, represented by poetry, prose, and proverbs to enhance the authority of the discourse and deepen its contents in the consciousness of the addressees. Conducting a study on the adoption of authority of the literary discourse among Nobel Peace Prize laureates is one of the main implications of this paper. Thus, it is of high importance, as this study achieves its importance from the nature of the sample studied, for it is a symbolic sample with an international status in terms of its association with the symbolism of the Nobel Prize at the world level.
