REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
well-known motivational speaker, Dale Carnegie, believes that the only problem
we have to deal with is picking the appropriate thoughts. If we can do that, we
can easily nd other issues. (Dweck, p. 57- 65) added that motivation's purpose
12
is simply to in uence people's attitudes and ideas when they are young. As a
result, educational institutions strive to emphasize motivation both school and
13
home. Positive thought perception is critical in receiving guidance and
developing people's conduct."There is nothing either good or terrible except
that believing makes it so," Shakespeare is quoted as sayings. If a person
14
believes that he or she can succeed, will succeed; disbelief renders individuals
inert; it has a detrimental effect on people's behavior.
Figures of speech
Figures of speech stated by (Khodabadeh, p. 347) are words or phrases used to
make a different representation than their literal meaning. These devices are
15
employed basically in public discourse to create an impact. (Martens et. al.
16
2013) stated that storytellers or speakers may enrich their ways of storytelling
with several gures of speech to emphasize the effectiveness of their
messages as they try to sway or convince their audiences to believe in their
viewpoints. The more interaction of the audience on the intended meanings,
17 18
the great effect of the message is depicted. The existence of gures of speech
in storytelling functions as facilitating strategy to ensure that the audience
19 20
receives the story correctly. Along these lines, commencement speakers
delivering their motivational speeches rely on gures of speech to create a
context of acceptance of the conclusions and lessons they present at the end
19
of the story.
21
Sharing life's stories and personal experiences usually took place on a special
occasion like a commencement ceremony where the speakers' audiences are
graduating students. (Schmidt p.36), states that commencement speakers
34
speaker might appear credible. Good sense, good moral character
35
(virtuouscharacter), and goodwill are three crucial things. Sigmund Freud's
36
ideas on the nature of authority are discussed (Hauser, p. 112). According to
37
Freud, authority comes from the ability to full the human want to believe
38
someone or something is trustworthy. In (Hall, p. 112), Aristotle believes that
the speaker must possess three fundamental qualities. Good moral character,
good sense, and kindness are the traits articulated by Aristotle.
39
The second mode of persuasion is pathos, based on the audience's emotions
40
Emotion is described as "all those affections which induce persons to change
their view about their judgments and accompanied by pleasure and pain, such
as rage, pity, fear, and all comparable emotions and their contraries" in
41
Aristotle's Rhetoric, book II (translated by W. Rhys Roberts 2004). They see that
Aristotle's description of emotions matches Gorgias' argument that emotional
responses aid people in changing their opinions. When people are furious or
terri ed, they enter various states of mind in which they see objects or people
3 42
differently than before. According to (Cockcroft 57) cited in Alkirbash 2016,
43
emotion is the "raw material" of rhetoric, because effective persuasion is
unlikely to occur without genuine feeling, regardless of the matter involved. He
44
went on to say that persuaders must feel the feeling they want to elicit in their
audience. He can do so by using actualizations like lexis, abstract
classi cation, gurative language, or a combination of the three. The vital link
is dependent on the ability of a persuader to forecast people's emotional
reactions and desire to engage in persuasion. The third mode of persuasion
45
proposed by Aristotle is Logos (translated by Roberts, 2004) logos is de ned as
"what makes an orator's speech demonstrative and worthy of belief." The main
difference between syllogism and enthymeme, according to Aristotle's earlier
explanation (Book. II), is that syllogism leads to a required conclusion from
46
universally true premises, but enthymeme leads to a tentative conclusion from
likely premises. Corbett used two examples of deductive reasoning to
demonstrate the difference between syllogism and enthymeme. He claimed
47 48
that the syllogism's main premise, "all men are mortal," indicates a universal
49
fact, that history and our senses teach us that men must die. "Socrates being a
man" is a minor premise that is true.
Another important persuasive device is Rhetorical questions. Questions that
50 52 51
seek solutions, yet are designed to elicit logical reasoning from listeners. A
53
rhetorical question, according to (Nelson and Pearson p. 265), is "a query for
54
which you do not expect an oral answer." Rhetorical questions, according to
(Verderber et al. p. 76), are "questions structured to provoke a conceptual
response rather than an actual verbal answer on the side of the audience." They
say that rhetorical questions establish common ground by referencing
knowledge that the speaker and the listener are both familiar with or share. (
Axelrod p.113) also underlines the importance of rhetorical questions in
melding the response. The speaker wants his audience to respond. He thinks
55 56
that rhetorical inquiries are also effective. By requiring the audience to think
56
and answer vocally, the argument becomes more engaging.
Additionally, motivational discourses appear on three levels (Peseschkian,p. 34
57
). At the level of actual contact, it appears to be a part of the client's current
living circumstances. Clients' wants or unwillingness for something or someone
in their own lives, the client's incapacity to make a choice or decision, purpose
ambiguity, and even nding the meaning of existence are all themes. All of
these themes are accompanied by the queries "why?" and "for what or for
58
whom?" as well as statements such as "because..." and "to..." Motivational
speech becomes a motivational contact with rigid polarity at the level of
59
internal con ict. Study on the use of ethos in persuasive settings has always
78 79
how the language utilized in these reports develops a centre-ground talk
80
business and manageability, however, they don't intricate how the talk comes
81
to impact other social entertainers.
The study by (Mubarak &Rhaif, p. 36) investigated the motivational storytelling
by American commencement speakers using the Politeness strategies as a tool
82
for the analysis. It was found out in the study that the strategies were used in
diverse ways by American commencement speakers, but the majority of them
83 84
focus on positive civility. While motivating the graduates, develop a sense of
85
camaraderie with them. There was a predilection for speci c sub-strategies
that assisted commencement speakers in delivering motivational narratives.
(Jakubowska, p. 133-134) studied the discursive representation of places
signi cant for an individual, an analysis of Polish academic year inauguration
86
speeches and American commencement addresses. It was found out in the
study that a similar representation of place as an element of the context of the
87
situation is much more common in American speech, but is present in both
88
types of speech. The analyzed discourse was rich in metaphor, it appeared in
the descriptions of places signi cant for the individual identity.
90 89,90
A similar study was conducted by (Zhu, p.108) analyzing the English and
Chinese commencement speeches using intercultural analysis of personal
metadiscourse. This study investigates the similarities and differences in the
91
use of personal meta-discourse in English and Chinese commencement
speeches and the possible reasons behind these similarities and differences.
92
The ndings of qualitative and quantitative research American speeches
contain signi cantly more personal meta-discourse than Chinese talks. Textual
93
analysis revealed there were some similarities and differences in the discourse
functions of personal meta-discourse between two sets of texts because of
their genre characteristics and social-cultural differences.
94 95
Additionally, the same study was conducted by Tian, Shuai, and Konfrst. Both
96
have studied commencement speeches but use different tools in analyzing the
97
data. (Tian and Shuai, p. 762) studied comparative study of Conceptual
Metaphor in Chinese and American Commencement Speeches. The study
98
revealed that there were 102theoretical similitudes in Chinese initiation
99,100
discourses and 202 reasonable analogies in American which the University of
101 1
the Conceptual Illustration. Also, it was found out some reasonable similitudes
103 104
both show up in these two dialects while a few similitudes just exist in one. In
this theory, the venture analogy, creature similitude, and building illustration
105,106
are utilized in the two pieces of information while the family illustration
107
happens in Chinese information and the machine illustration in American
108 109 110
information. While, (Konfrst, p. 55) studied content analysis on messaging
strategies in presidential commencement speeches from 1980 – to 2016. It was
111 112
revealed in the study that presidents were very particular to implement in
113
advance their policies and advocacy agenda at the end of their terms rather
114
than having it done not just at the moment that they began. Tough they may
only have a few months left in of ce, presidents demonstrate through their
115
word choice in commencement speeches that their work is not yet done. In the
3
study of (Kurt Beyers, 32), the United States of America was founded on
rhetorical justi cations and has been governed through most of its history by a
116
system designed to operate on rhetorical principles. This paper argues that
118 117
citizens, to be actively engaged, can and should use rhetorical principles as
tools for evaluating persuasive messages. Aristotle's principles of ethos, logos,
119 120
and pathos can serve the function of evaluative tools as well as persuasive
121 122 123
tools. Rooted in human nature, these principles are as useful in America in the
124
21st century as in Athens 2,400 years ago. Aristotle's principles are used here
125
to analyzed a historical communication artifact, Abraham Lincoln's Cooper
148
pushfor a policy advocacy agenda at the federal level not simply when they're
going to the conclusion of their terms began. They may only have a few months
left, though. Presidents exhibit their power by their words in of ce in
149
commencement speeches that their work is important and not yet completed.
When reviewing the ndings of this study, several terms stand out. Some words
150
and phrases are used far more frequently than others. ("government," "I/we
did/have," "change," "I/we are," "I/we are") are," "challenge," and "congress"),
suggesting that presidents have chosen these phrases to reject the job for
which they want credit.
151
In times of rhetorical presidency, no presidential address is apolitical and this
thesis investigated the functions of epideictic address in light of the rhetorical
152
presidency doctrine. A close textual analysis of the three most controversial
commencement speeches delivered by President Barack Obama revealed that
153 154
the challenge of fullling the expectations of a commencement address, while
155
also responding to rhetorical problems, required the President to adopt
complex rhetorical strategies. With those ndings, this thesis proposes to
156
renew the functions of presidential ceremonial rhetoric to a unique function. In
157 158
this renewed segment of the genre, the speech should use the available means
159 160
of persuasion towards a single purpose: display leadership through eloquence
to enhance presidential ethos (Ribeiro M. p. 42).
161 162
In the study of (Wang Niu, and Yuan Yin, p. 56), the paper aims at constructing a
163
hierarchical system of the ethos category, which is expected to be more
operable and interpretive in both rhetorical criticism and rhetorical practice.
The justi cation of this ethos system is the focus of the inquiry. We will mainly
resolve the vagueness of Aristotle's three elements of ethos: good sense, good
moral character, and goodwill, via extracting from the existing studies some
164
core sub-elements for each of them. To achieve this objective, the
165 166
relatedchapters in Aristotle's Rhetoric are re-examined; interpretations of
167
ethos by contemporary scholars are investigated, and two texts from different
168 169
genres are analyzed for the testing of this re-framed ethos model. The same
170 171 172
study was conducted by Hamurenge (p. 101), which was grounded on Aristotle's
3
Theory of Rhetoric (Aristotle, 1976), which identi es ethos, pathos, and logos
173
as a means of persuasion. Vastly employed for the analysis of speeches, the
theory examines emotion, authority, and logic, which are essential parameters
for an effective speech (Borg, p. 17). It also helps to determine the
effectiveness of persuasion; a rhetorician should consider in discourse when
addressing an audience. The study employed a qualitative document analysis
research design in which commencement ceremony speech samples by
174
Professor Lazarus Hangula were explored. The study, in identifying and
interpreting the usage of ethos, pathos, and logos in the speeches using
175 176
Aristotle's theory of rhetoric, largely observes that the speeches make
extensive use of the proofs of persuasion in negotiating meaning and proposals
with the audience. (Mubarak, A. S., &Rhaif,p. 58) this study explores how
commencement speakers utilize success stories pragma-rhetorically to
177
motivate the graduates to behave wisely to take future decisions. It
investigates the pragmatic rhetorical strategies in the motivational storytelling
178 179
that is delivered within commencement speeches at American universities and
institutes. More speci cally, it explores how speech acts, rhetorical tropes,
conversational implicate, and rhetorical appeals are used and distributed in the
storytelling discourse. The ndings have revealed that commencement
speakers resort to various pragmatic and rhetorical strategies to convey the
motivational message and advice they intend to deliver to the graduates within
the stories they embed in their commencement speeches.
180
In addition, (Nurkhamidah, Fahira, Ningtya, 73), this research aims nding the
rhetorical appeals of President Joe Biden's inaugural address on his
181 18
inauguration as the 46th President of the United States. The research is based
on Aristotle's theory called a rhetorical theory. The researcher employs
descriptive qualitative as a methodology to analyze the data from the spoken
utterances of the speech. The result shows that Joe Biden uses all of the
183
Aristotelian rhetoric strategies in his inaugural address, which are: ethos,
184 185
pathos, and logos. The data shows that Joe Biden uses pathos in 55% of his
186 187
speech, followed by ethos in 37%, and logos in 8% Joe Biden skillfully used and
implied Aristotle's rhetorical theory in his inauguration address to engage and
build trust with the American people. From the analysis, the researcher has
188
concluded that a good speaker can use all of the three elements of the
rhetorical theory and imply them in the speech or writing.
3
Moreover, the study (Sherwani, 21-25) investigates two English motivational
speeches. The research focuses on progressive rhetoric rather than
conservative discourse. The data were analyzed using three discourse analysis
189 19,189
analytical techniques, including Story, hyperbole, and framing. The impact of
190
speech on human behavior, emphasizes the importance of considering mindset
when dealing with it. Beliefs, objectives, and actions these qualities are not
static; positive dialogue has the potential to in uence human behavior. Change
your attitudes, beliefs, intentions, goals, and behaviors by changing your
191
cognition. The study concludes that positive discourse analysis can be used to
analyze text positively and progressively. Discourse can affect action and
behavior. Telling successful stories is essential. Public speakers use hyperbole
or exaggeration for several purposes. Discourse framing is another powerful
192
technique used by public speakers.
