Topic of Inquiry: The use of rhetoric in politics.
Working Inquiry Question: How do politicians use language and rhetorical
devices to convince the public into thinking these issues are a cinch?
This is updated from my old topic of inquiry.
After many weeks of examining articles online about speech giving, presidential speeches, and rhetoric used in presidential speeches I came to this inquiry question. I found three articles on this topic. One article compares the rhetoric used by President Obama during his campaign and while in office in a study conducted evaluating his speeches. Another article explains how politicians use linguistic manipulation and the rhetorical devices that are used in political linguistic manipulation. The last article introduces the ideological side of how politicians word their speeches, this refers to the main beliefs that are held by most politicians.
