6、speech; rhetoric; function英语演讲中的修辞手法摘 要演讲,是在听众面前就某一问题表达发表自己的见解,抒发情感,或进行宣传鼓动从而达到感召听众并促使其行动的一种信息交流活动的正式演说。修辞是一种重要的语言表达手段,是用简单具体且充满想象的方法将抽象复杂的思想或进程阐释出来,能够促进情感的传递和思想的表达。修辞存在于各种文体之中,尤其在演讲中起着极为重要的作用,是影响英语演讲成败的关键。论文从分析演讲及修辞的定义和功能出发,认真研究了主要修辞手段在英语演讲中的作用,包括明喻、暗喻、排比、头韵、重复、对偶和设问等修辞手段,旨在更好地欣赏演讲,并学习一些演讲中的语言技巧,从而

Speech is a unique style. It expresses thoughts, feelin
9、gs, and ideas orally to audience through a series of well-organized, well-prepared words or sentences with the aim of evoking some feelings of the listeners. Therefore, to make a successful speech, one ought to use formal, vivid languages as well as many figures of speech. The success of a speech is
10、 often attributed to the skill of the orator, with merit being given to orators who are confident, articulate, knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech with conviction. Persuading an audience to take action involves more than a speaker sharing what he knows about a topic. Speeches are intended to
11、get listeners to accept a particular point of view, and then motivate them into action. The challenge in writing this kind of speech is in delivering a message that will win others over in sharing the same principles as the speaker. You must use words in such a way as to convince listeners that the
12、speakers opinion is reliable. The art of giving a persuasive speech is as much about using language effectively as it is about communicating a convincing argument.Obviously, one of the major factors to be a good or a bad speech is whether the use of rhetoric is appropriate or not. It can be found th
13、at the use of rhetoric plays a very important role in content. The definition of rhetoric is applying many language materials and various expressive devices to manifest the orators purpose appropriately. Without the use of rhetoric, absolutely, there is no good content. Therefore, it is necessary to
14、 make an analysis and study on this subject.The whole thesis is concerned about the use of rhetoric in English speech, and the thesis is divided into three parts. The first part talks about the definition and function of speech. The second part illustrates the definition and function of rhetoric. Th
15、e third part makes a carefully study on the use of main rhetorical devices in English speech, such as, simile, metaphor, parallelism, alliteration and repetition, antithesis , rhetorical question and so on.1Speech1.1 The Definition of Speech One of the definitions of speech which is a formal talk th
16、at a person gives to the audiences, to express his/her views or emotions on a specific issue, or to conduct propaganda activities so as to achieve inspiring the audience and promote its action as a information-sharing activities.The benefit of a speech is obvious mass communication. Orators want to
17、engage audiences attention, convey their ideas in a logical manner and use reliable evidence to support their point.Speech can be made in a small event as a marriage or a little party as president of a country make it to be closer his people. The opportunity arises in everybodys life to give a speec
18、h. In its simplest form, a speech is a retelling of events. It can be overwhelming to an introverted individual to think about giving a speech, so knowing the four types of speeches and their purposes can help alleviate some of the pressure. An inspirational speech inspires, an informative speech in
19、forms, a persuasive speech persuades and special occasion speeches vary, but only due to the special occasion. 1.2 The Function of Speech Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are
20、 created equal. This is part of a two-minute speech given by Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg. He knew that speeches were more than just a bunch of words. Some believe that the power of life and death are in the tongue. This speech was powerful.The purpose of making a speech can range from simply trans
21、mitting information, to motivating people to act, to simply telling a story. Good orators should be able to change the emotions of their listeners, not just inform them. Making a speech can also be considered a discourse community. Interpersonal communication and speeches have several components tha
22、t embrace such things as motivational speaking, leadership/personal development, business, customer service, large group communication, and mass communication. Speeches can be a powerful tool to use for purposes such as motivation, influence, persuasion, informing, or translation.All kinds of speech
