ABSTRACT

This research work examined the persuasive strategies of President Obama’s public speaking as enshrined in his inaugural address. The analysis is grounded on Norman Fairclough’s assumptions in Critical Discourse Analysis, claiming that ideologies reside in texts that it is not possible to remove or ignore ideologies from texts and that texts are open to diverse interpretations. The selected corpus’ ideological and persuasive components were assessed. The analytical part of this research work analyzes the possible interrelatedness of textual properties and power relations, which is also underpinned in Fairclough’s conceptual work, thus revealing Obama’s persuasive strategies showing the relationship between language, ideology and reality. This work investigated the ability to empower the people with a new political power by bringing into view the real knowledge of the inauguration speech of President Barrack Obama.

CHAPTER ONE

General Introduction

1.0 Introduction

Chapter one of this research work deals with the foundational study which include the Background to the study, Purpose of the study, Justification of the study, Scope and Delimitation of the study and the Authorial background. It is a general insight to what the work entails.

1.1 Background To The Study

Effective reading is of utmost seriousness in the modern era due to the prevalence of media and vast exposure to information. Ironically, people and even scholars have turned a blind eye to the details and distinctions of discourse production and comprehension. This is due to the fact that language users do not often develop a full competence in the semantic component of the language. Regularly, people are heedless to and unenlightened about the implications of the shades of meanings when they are producing discourse or are exposed to it. Moslem (2009)

The concepts of discourse, genre, and style are intimately connected with each other. They are dealing with the macro and micro levels of sociological and linguistic studies. There is a dialectic relationship between social actors or individuals (micro structure) and the social practices and values (macro structure). In this background, a multiplicity of texts is in close interaction with social parameters to bring about different ideological, identities and power structures. In this respect, the voice given to the macro structure, that is government and institutions or the micro structures that is individuals is immensely affected by theorists’ ideological orientations. Moslem (2009).

Politics is a struggle for power necessary to put certain political, economic and social ideas into practice. In this process, language plays a crucial role, for every political action is prepared, accompanied, influenced and played by language. This paper analyzes political discourse, namely the inaugural address of President Barrack Obama. Given the enormous domestic and global significance of the said speech in these times of international economic turmoil it is crucial to interpret ideological traits typical of Barrack Obama’s enshrined in his inaugural address. An Inaugural address oridinarily decides policies of the newly inaugurated president and its overall significance is enhanced in the case of Obama’s policy of “change”. This work will examine President Obama’s speech using Critical Discourse Analysis as a tool.
