The place of pronunciation of the speech assumes the presence of a speaker and a listener, the aim of which is to influence the listener (the recipient), which in this case depicts a form of ideology that supports hegemony and domination, as confirmed by Michel Foucault. The speech itself is a function of power and a practice that has the ability to formulate laws and impose wills on recipients through a network of commands and prohibitions that are bound to be applied. The effects that the cultural, social, political and authoritarian phenomena have on the crystallization and formation of discourse in general, and in particular in Pharaoh’s authoritarian discourses that are based on the principle of force, violence, the abolition of the other, and the control of the ruling ego in all his actions and actions, which makes him issue matters that have no basis in truth and reality in order to give his logic and style a character. My religion is acceptable and it has an impact on society. The researcher concluded that the place of pronunciation is the one that gave the speech power and influence, which made Pharaoh utter the logic of deity and consider the ego as the starting point of power, which led to the place of pronunciation or understanding until it made him face with all those who want to take away the freedom of the ego or neglect it or cancel it. It is clear that the speech has a strong relationship with the political, social and economic systems of society and strengthens its authority with these systems in one way or another, so Pharaoh notes when he said, “”Kill Moses.”” He wants to take permission from society and publicly to kill Moses. He wants to draw his strength From the society around him, as well as Pharaoh, he leaned on his authority, his king and his dominance in highlighting his domination and his exalted speech by saying a story about him. He said: ” (And Pharaoh called out among his people, saying, “Rise, does not I have a king of Egypt?” (Zokhrof, The verse: 51) In doing so, he wants to give a realistic indication that he is the tyrant, that he is the God and that he has the word of separation through this statement issued by him, and that the whole king is under his hands and under his command. Rather, the authority has made its speech and then its ideology, which entitles the ego to make its speech and ideology in the form of other speeches, and since there is no authority without another ideology opposed to it, which was represented by the speeches of Moses (peace be upon him) and witches, which made this opposition to the existence of two parties to the conflict, the party of Pharaoh and his filled and the party of Moses (peace be upon him) and the magicians of believers. Authoritarian speech. when it finds those who disagree with it in opinion and beliefs, does not argue with it as better, but rather it refers to rejected ways of killing, violentness and terrorism in order to force the other party to submit to it and surrender to what it wants.
He notes this in his saying: “You said, You have to cut off your hands and legs from your palms and to pray to you in the trunks of the palms and to know which one is the most tormented and kept you.” (Taha, The verse: 71)
