The use of language in political Rhetoric:Linguistic manipulation

Bu makale, siyasi retorikte kullanılan kinaye, mürsel mecaz, ve metafor gibi dilbilimsel araçların kullanımını ele almaktadır. Analizler dilbilimsel bakış açısına göre ele alınmıştır. Teoretik çatı, 20. yüzyılın sonlarında ve 21. yüzyılın başlarında Atkinson, M. Chilton, P.A Fairclough, ve Naciscione A. ‘nın ortaya koymuş oldukları siyasi söylemin theoretik etkileri ile ilgili yapmış oldukları araştırmalar üzerine inşa edilmiştir. Araştırmanın metodolojisi ‘The Baltic Times (2006)’ ve ‘The Times (2006)’ gazetelerinde yayınlanan özgün makaleler ve kaynaklara dayandırılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, çalışmanın yazarları metin dilbilim ve metin edimbilim prensiplerine bağlı kalmışlardır. Çalışmanın ortaya koymuş olduğu sonuçlardan biride dilbilim manipülasyonun siyasi söylemde etkili bir araç olarak kullanılabileceğidir.

The paper is devoted to exploring allusion, metonymy, and metaphor- the linguistic devices used in political rhetoric. The analysis is envisaged from the perspective of linguistic manipulation. The theoretical framework has been designed considering the theoretical implications derived from the research of the late 20th and early 21st centuries on political discourse conducted by e.g. Atkinson, M., Chilton, P.A., Fairclough, N., Naciscione, A. The methodology of this inquiry has applied general principles of qualitative research, and it has been based on the discourse analysis of the authentic source materials published in The Baltic Times (2006) and The Times (2006). In this respect, the authors of the paper have been guided by selected principles of text linguistics and text pragmatics. One of the conclusions that the authors have arrived at is that the linguistic manipulation can be considered as an influential instrument of political rhetoric.
