La persuación y la acción el discurso político

The central theme of this work is the critical analysis of the speeches of ten political actors who they constitute or have constituted a central axis in the politics of the Latin American and Italian continent: Hugo Chávez, Cristina Fernández De Kirchner, Michelle Bachelet, José Luis Zapatero, En- rique Peña Nieto, Matteo Renzi, Beppe Grillo, Nichi Vendola. However, before doing this work we want to focus our attention on the theoretical aspect that underpins our analysis. We are going to outline the characteristics of the discourse, considered a cardinal instrument to promote ideologies. We intend to observe how through the linguistic structures used it is possi- ble to highlight certain implicit and explicit aspects related to: the ideology, the abuse of power, the developed theme, the message of each discourse through its linguistic construction (Van Dijk 1992).
