Bush. By conducting this analysis, this treatise attempts to apply his distinguished rhetorical techniques to improve the speeches of students participating in "The Annual English Presentation Contest for Colleges of Technology," or who must give presentations or speeches in English generally.This paper takes a political speech of George Bush,delivered on September23rd,2003,as an example,and intends to reveal his rhetorical techniques to win the audience's attention and interest. After analyzing the speech, this treatise concludes that the speaker uses intentionally opposing concept words to emphasis polarity between the speaker, i.e.,himself,and the opponent. In so doing, the speaker tries to enlist his audience as supporters of his opinion. Based on the knowledge it obtains, the final purpose of this paper is to improve students' speeches by making them more persuasive. Because one must only report true facts in scientific academic presentations,such that the presenter must not pervert the truth by embellishing the sentences with rhetorical tactics,this rhetorical method can be applied only to non-academic speeches; nevertheless,it should help students to more successfully deliver general presentations or speeches., application/pdf}, pages = {115--120}, title = {A Main Rhetorical Technique used in George Bush's Political Speech}, year = {2020}, yomi = {タカハタ, トキコ} }
