Abstract This thesis presents a contrastive discourse analysis of Barack Obama's and Donald Trump's political electoral speeches with a focus on persuasive strategies. It provides a theoretical background for the analytical part dealing with basic concepts of political discourse and persuasion. The main aim of the thesis is to analyse collected electoral speeches with a focus on selected persuasive strategies on the basis of their relation to the three Aristotelian types of appeal to the audience, to observe differences in persuasive techniques between the 44th president and 45th president of the USA, and to determine the impact of the analysed strategies on a persuasive potential of the political speeches. Key words: discourse analysis, political discourse, communication in politics, electoral speeches, Barack Obama's political speeches, Donald Trump's political speeches, persuasion, persuasive strategies, logos, ethos, pathos, political campaigns Anotace Tato práce představuje srovnávací diskurzní analýzu politických volebních proslovů Baracka Obamy a Donalda Trumpa se zaměřením na persvazivní strategie. Poskytuje teoretický podklad pro analytickou část práce zabývající se základními koncepty politického diskurzu a persvaze. Hlavním cílem práce je analyzovat sesbírané politické proslovy se zaměřením na vybrané persvazivní strategie na základě jejich vztahu ke třem aristotelovským typům apelu k publiku, pozorovat rozdíly co se týče persvazivních technik mezi 44. a 45. prezidentem Spojených států amerických a stanovit dopad analyzovaných strategií na persvazivní potenciál daných politických proslovů. Klíčová slova: diskurzní analýza, politický diskurz, politická komunikace, volební proslovy, politické proslovy Baracka Obamy, politické proslovy Donalda Trumpa, persvaze, persvazivní strategie, logos, étos, patos, politická kampaň “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt Table of Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 9 Theoretical part ........................................................................................................................ 12 1.

Politics creates an important part of everybody's life and the political rhetoric has been taught since the time of Aristotle who mastered oratory and rhetorical skills of his followers. Aristotle himself considered the art of persuasion as the key for the politics. Thus, rhetoric has become a part of classical education for thousands of years. Furthermore, politicians themselves use persuasive techniques that convince citizens to vote them or to sign a petition to change a law. I have decided to study this topic because I would like to examine how persuasion works and because I am interested in politicians' tactics based on the logical arguments that are influenced on psychological approach to gain the desired behaviour from the audience. The sphere of my interest is the candidacy for the president of the United States in particular. Therefore, for the purpose of this thesis I have chosen two politicians

  • Washington Capital of the Union | September 2016
    Essential Civil War Curriculum | Kenneth J. Winkle, Washington Capital of the Union | September 2016 Washington Capital of the Union By Kenneth J. Winkle, University of Nebraska-Lincoln ashington, DC, was the most strategic and vulnerable city in the Union during the Civil War. Sandwiched between the Confederate state of Virginia to the W west and the border slave state of Maryland to the east, Washington sat astride the Civil War’s most critical and active military front, the Eastern Theater. The Union army used the city to mobilize and supply the Army of the Potomac, defend the eastern seaboard, and launch military thrusts toward Richmond. Believing that the loss of the Union’s capital would lead to immediate defeat, the Confederacy targeted Washington throughout the war. From the First Battle of Bull Run onward, Confederate armies repeatedly threatened Washington as part of General Robert E. Lee’s strategy of taking the war to the enemy. Lee’s advances into Maryland in 1862 and Pennsylvania in 1863 were primarily designed to threaten Washington, and in July 1864 Lieutenant General Jubal Anderson Early launched a direct attack on the city, which was repulsed. Throughout the war, the Lincoln administration took unprecedented actions to secure the capital against Confederate attack and suppress internal subversion at the hands of secessionist sympathizers. Meanwhile, the indirect impact of the war posed novel challenges as well as opportunities. The tripling of the city’s population produced a public health crisis that promoted epidemic diseases, including smallpox. Turning Washington into the central site of medical treatment for sick and wounded soldiers in the Eastern Theater, the army established more than one hundred military hospitals in the capital, innovating new approaches to medical care and hospital design.

Murphy Sr. Political Affairs Specialist Fox News Channel Table of Contents Introduction – p. 3 Virginia Primary – p. 5 Maryland Primary – p. 10 Washington, D.C. Primary – p. 14 Endnotes – p. 17 2 Introduction Republican and Democratic presidential candidates are preparing for Tuesday's first-ever regional primary, when voters in Virginia, Maryland and the District will go to the polls.1 The primaries in the District and Maryland are open only to voters registered with political parties; Virginia does not register voters by party, so both of its primaries are open to all voters.2 The trio of contests on Tuesday are expected to offer a demographic advantage to Obama because of the sizable number of African American voters in all three places.3 Black Democrats, who have supported Obama in his bid to be the first black U.S. president, are expected to factor large in the three so-called Potomac primary races, named after the river that touches all three localities. Obama is looking to the trio of races Tuesday to carry him past Clinton in their battle for the White House, while Clinton dismissed talk that her campaign was in trouble after a series of losses. 4 An Obama sweep in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, which polls show is likely, could be one of the major turning points in the '08 campaign. 5 Over the weekend, Obama secured a clean sweep in five races: Louisiana, Washington state, Nebraska, Maine and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Clinton's losses, coupled with her decision to replace her campaign manager with a longtime aide and Obama's infusion of new funds, fueled talk that the New York senator's campaign bid was falling on tough times.

  • CHAPTER 10 AFTER SUPER-DUPER TUESDAY Once
    CHAPTER 10 AFTER SUPER-DUPER TUESDAY Once Super-Duper Tuesday was over, it was obvious to many observ- ers that, for the remainder of February, the calendar of Democratic Party presidential caucuses and primaries was going to greatly favor U.S. Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. A pattern had been clearly established by Super-Duper Tuesday of U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton of New York winning primary elections in the most populous states with the most diverse populations, such as New York and California. Obama, on the other hand, was racking up votes and delegates in less populous states, many of which were holding caucuses rather than primaries. The calendar of caucuses and primaries in Febru- ary, after Super-Tuesday, was mainly composed of these less-populated states, many holding caucuses rather than primaries. These were precisely the kind of states in which Barack Obama had been doing well. NEBRASKA Nebraska never had figured prominently in a presidential nomination race, despite the fact that Iowa, one of the most active of the early voting states, was located just east of Nebraska across the Missouri River. Nebraska’s “first-ever” significant presidential caucuses were held in 2008 on the Saturday after Super-Duper Tuesday. As to be expected at caucuses in a relatively underpopulated state, Barack Obama tri- umphed easily. WASHINGTON STATE The state of Washington made some effort in the early 2000s to become a significant player in the presidential caucuses and primaries sweepstakes. The state scheduled an early primary in the Republican Party in 2000. Although Washington is viewed as being one of the more liberal and progressive states, Texas Governor George W.
