Bush's Method of Speech

Paper Summary:

This paper collects a number of speeches by George W. Bush and analyzes the particular features and characteristics of his respective speaking style, delivery etc. The writer concludes that the linguistic inclinations of George W. Bush, as president of the U.S.A., are rather ineffectual.

From the Paper:

"His body language, in as much as putting his arm around the fireman, was commendable in addition to his adherence to ethos being hard to miss. And while Ethos refers to "the persuasive potential of the speaker's character and personal credibility" (Herrick, 2001), this is something that is clearly evident within the respective speech by Bush. This is emphasized even more strongly when considering that this speech presented Bush as a president who is willing to come to the heart of the tragedy that had just occurred. The illustration of his character in such light, moreover, inevitably enhanced his character in as much as portraying him as a caring, compassionate, and interested president."
