المستخلص

Political discourse is one of the most powerful tools for ‎influencing and shaping reality. It is commonly ‎acknowledged that discourse plays a critical part in ‎forming our perspective of the world. Political discourse ‎persuades and manipulates the recipient to adopt particular ‎actions or decisions in line with the aims of the speech ‎produced by political actors or the group to which they ‎belong through the use of strategic tools and processes, ‎such as biases and ideologies. ‎ In this context, discourse is ‎particularly notable for its ability to shape public opinion ‎and ‎influence political and cultural outcomes. The focus of ‎this study is on the political discourse of ‎Ukrainian ‎President Volodymyr Zelensky, specifically in the context of ‎the Ukrainian-Russian war. The ‎analysis examines his ‎speeches to identify the rhetorical devices and linguistic ‎units he employs to ‎shape public opinion, persuade his ‎audience, and advance his political objectives. By ‎examining the ‎political and ethical lexicon used by ‎Zelensky, the study seeks to enhance the comprehension of ‎how conflicts are viewed and how political discourse affects ‎political decision-making. The ultimate goal is to ‎contribute to a deeper comprehension of the complex ‎relationships between politics, power, and language in the ‎contemporary world.‎
