| Abstract | ||
| Politicians use language as a weapon to gain more power and reach not only their own goals but also the goals of their party. Language is an important tool for politicians because it gives them the power to influence, persuade, and basically get what they want. People who take this communicative stance do so in a number of ways, such as through televised political debates, press briefings, public forums, and media interviews. This study sheds light on the phenomenon of doublespeak, which is a type of intentional, often advanced use of language that changes the real meaning of phrases for a specific purpose. Doublespeak is very common in politics right now. It helps people who use it by hiding facts that are inconvenient and changing issues in ways that are best for their own campaigns or interests. The main goal of this paper is to look into and explain how Donald Trump used doublespeak in one of his main presidential debates. This study looks into the different types of doublespeak that are common in Trump's speech by doing a detailed analysis that takes their interactive role into account. The main point of this paper is that Trump's rhetoric debate is marked by the use of inflated language. | ||
