Persuasion in political discourse

Description

Studies of persuasive strategies typical of oral political discourse in the Anglo-Saxon and Spanish context, such as metaphor, metonymy, evaluation (Martin & White, 2005) or Transitivity mechanisms (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004, 2014), or a combination of them, with the aim of convincing the audience and obtaining their votes, and which are therefore used with an ideologising purpose.
