الملخص الإنجليزي

-The present study is about persuasion which is the outcome of rhetoric.

Persuasion as a dominant phenomenon in speech in general can be identified through the study of the three of its components, namely, ethos, pathos and logos.

Ethos refers to the speaker’s character, position, status and credibility, expressed in speech.

Pathos on the other side refers to the audience’s emotions, in the way they are provoked by the speaker to act in the direction of the aimed goal of the speech or the orator.

The last component of persuasion is its logos, or what is called the logic of the speaker’s argument, expressed by the speaker in words, and how the speaker presents his argument in a way that convinces his audience to take a certain demanded action; an action that is demanded by the speaker.

For the purpose of this study, the speeches of his majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan comprised the academic ground for applying rhetoric theory.

In particular those parts related to persuasion mentioned above, ethos, pathos and logos are discussed, to support the assumption that this phenomenon of persuasion is dominant in the speeches of his majesty King Abdullah II.

These speeches were collected from the media department of the Hashemite Royal Court, and then classified into two levels, international and national.

This study consists of three chapters.

The first chapter reviews the rhetorical background in view of which the analysis was done.

The second chapter reviewed related literature from both the Arabic and The English languages.

Chapter three explained the methodology and analysis of persuasion elements in the speeches.

The last part in chapter three summarizes the results and gives recommendations.

The study focused that persuasion with its three aspects (ethos, pathos and logos) is a dominant feature in the speeches of his majesty King Abdullah II.

The study recommends that further and more thorough investigation should be done to cover other linguistic aspects in the speeches.
