Stylistic means of expressing emotionality in political discourse (on the material of B. Obama’s and G. Bush’s speeches)

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of stylistic means of expressing emotionality in political discourse. Five speeches of US presidents B. Obama and G. Bush-junior were taken as the material of investigation. The results showed that in speeches of both ex-presidents most frequently used stylistic devices are alliteration, metaphor, epithet, antithesis and anaphora. Except these stylistic devices in B. Obama’s speeches allusions epiphora, hyperbola and oxymoron are used.
