A Rehtorical Analysis Of Dean's Stump Speech
Pundits have made much of Dean's "firey" presentation style. To put some meat on the rhetorical bones, Park University Professor and former journalist Andrew Cline offers detailed rehtorical analyses of candidate speeches at his Presidential Campaign Rehtoric site. Find an analysis of Dean's June 23 Presidential Announcement Speech here. An example: Our President and too many in Washington are giving away our future so that we pass to our children not a flickering flame of freedom but the chain of insurmountable debt. [Alliteration of the letter "f" should be avoided for positive references. It is much more effective for negative references in which the "f-word" is implied.]There's much more; check it out.

Diction 5.0: Wow. Posted by: TBox at July 8, 2003 11:06 AM Yes. Thought that was pretty cool. There have been a number of content analysis programs out there in the social sciences for some time, but this analysis is impressive. Posted by: Alan at July 8, 2003 11:24 AM I find it amazing that Dean believes that America needs to be “restored” back to socialism. If anything, we need to be “restored” back to capitalism. Why do I say that Dean wants to “restore” socialism? Because he thinks I am obligated to provide for everyone else. I am NOT obligated to provide anything for others. I can choose to, but it is immoral to force me to. It is also ineffective. I’ll be much more productive if I see the fruits of my labor. Posted by: Byna at July 8, 2003 08:02 PM It was the same kind of thinking that made collecting welfare into a widespread “profession”. Posted by: Seth at July 8, 2003 09:05 PM Buy
