Language Manipulation in Political Campaigns.

How is language being used to change the aspect of an intended audience?

In the article, “ Hillary Clinton’s concession speech for the 2016 presidential speech election,” published by Katie Reilly, she interviews and reports Tim Kaine’s opinion about Clinton’s speech, is being delivered in the convention center of New York City.  In regards to Hillary Clinton’s defeat in the presidential election, her supporters were in awe about the outcome in her presidential campaign loss. In which apparently Reilly, intends to persuade by her use of informative language, and interviewing a republican, which maintains a very empowering feminist perspective. Its main purpose of Reilly’s article is to inform and persuade by the diction that is being used in one of Clinton’s political campaigns.

Throughout the beginning of  Reilly’s article, she explains the way “This is painful and it will be for a long time,”

as she intends to pin point towards the way she uses emotive language which is convenient to maintain her audience in her opinion. As her structure plays a role, by making sure that the words are in bold letters, in order for her to make an emphasis, on the way, explaining “this is painful,” as she adds a dramatic effect, on the way one should see Clinton’s loss of the presidency. As it creates a very drastic effect, giving a negative perspective to Donald Trump, a male leader who has defeated Clinton.

How does language intend to persuade a certain group in society?

As Reilly continues, she begins to indicate  the report that has been said by Clinton, as she states, “And to all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.” As her main purpose becomes to include a statement that has been said by Clinton, in order to persuade by the use of pathos, is being delivered to all the women of all ages that support Clinton. As she repetitively uses rhetorical devices such as ethos and pathos to depict women empowerment. As this point, to motivate that all women should never give up, although men will always be there to bring women down. As men have always played the major role in society, women are being marginalized to an extent where we are seen as weak and are being stereotyped as media undermines us in our power.

Reilly intends to use the political language to convey her message, as she interviews Tim Kaine, as she states, “That is an amazing accomplishment.

It is an amazing accomplishment. I’m proud of Hillary Clinton because, in the words of Langston Hughes, she’s “held fast to dreams.”  As Reilly, uses parallelism, throughout her article, in order to portray someone's perspective in the society which is being silenced due to their gender. As she says, “ amazing accomplishment,” it is being repeated because most women are amazed that women like Hillary, made a huge accomplishment, portraying that women are leaders.No other women, like her have taken the risk of facing anti-feminist, who will do anything to bring her down. Although the language in Hillary Clinton’s speeches is very strong and convincing, her gender has caused her the prevention of taking a leadership role. Not only that, but she also intends to include an allusion to Langston Hughes, in which in the political world allusions are used help show their understanding to persuade others that made an impact in

history.

How does Clinton use language in her political speeches?

As Clinton is giving her speech throughout her campaign, she also intends to not let her supporters down or show her empathy in the way she feels about her loss. Instead, she uses political language to embrace her loss and actually learn from what occurred. As Clinton demonstrates her understanding that no other women have made it to the presidency. As most Americans who became republican, were just against her for whom her gender represented her as. In Reilly’s article, Clinton states, “This loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it.” Portraying the statement that Clinton, made in which, she gives her thoughts, about her defeat, and showing women empowerment, “ never stop believing ...for what is right.” . As her lingua Franca adds a strong emphasis on the way she informs her intended audience, being democrats, that they should not give up on their women's rights. As Donald Trump has won the presidency, throughout his political campaigns, his use of vulgar language has become an insult towards women.

Language in a political speech can either give a positive or negative connotation. It all depends on the one's perspective, and what role an American in today’s society decides to take. Throughout Reilly’s article, she demonstrates the way the form of structure that Clinton uses when giving a speech, is that she see the quality, not quantity. However, Trump based on his previous speeches mainly focuses on the way he talks about women in the society that affects the audience.

Throughout Clinton’s political speeches, she portrayed women power, as women are constantly being marginalized in society. Language has always played a major role in speeches, as emotive language is constantly used to persuade a certain audience. As shown, Clinton maintained her positive character as she manipulated by the use of rhetoric in maintaining the political influence, in Clinton’s concession speech.
