Abstract

ABSTRACTIn general, official speeches, either political or general speeches,in Indonesia linguistically use more direct-language. That is, the meanings or thoughts in the speeches can be understood simply through—to use Brown et al’s terms—the “process of fairly basic linguistic ability”(see: Brown et al., 1994: 13). This kind of speech is in one way or theother quite acceptable when the speech is meant to deliver somesimple information. In other words, this way of conveying a thesis is suitable when it is simply to inform. When the purpose of the speech ismeant to win the assent of the audience, however, in one way or theother it should be presented differently. That is, although a speech isin a formal and official setting, it should—by the justification of the listeners as the community of minds— be rhetorically acceptable to most(if not all) audience. To meet that purpose, the speaker should presenthis idea persuasively, argumentatively, intellectually, and cooperatively—that is, in terms of linguistics, rhetorically.

Abstract

ABSTRACIt has always been recognized that when a speaker wishes to persuade, he or she must analyze the speech situation and adapt his or her speech to it. In numerous discussions about rhetoric, Aristotle is recognized as an expert in rhetoric who devoted more than a third of his Art of Rhetoric to study of the audience. Ever since, rhetoricians have taught that a speaker who would persuade others to believe and to act must understand how the listeners feel, what they want, and what they need. In short, the speaker must begin where his or her listeners are. A persuasive writing or speaking is often aimed at the heart or the stomach instead of the head. This can mean that there are some things or reasons more acceptable to the readers or listeners’ feeling, which is in the stomach, than to their logic, which is in the head. Consequently, instead of being logical only, a persuasive writer or a speaker might add some strategies in order to win the readers or listeners’ assent.
