The Presidential Library to tell about the most effective rhetorical devices in political discourse

On April 24, 2023 at 16:30 the Presidential Library will host a video lecture "Rhetorical devices in political discourse". This is the final video lecture which is held as part of the cycle dedicated to the Year of the Russian Language as the Language of Interethnic Communication in the CIS countries. The project was developed by the Presidential Library in order to tell about topical issues of Russian studies and the problems of the development of the Russian language in the world.

How rhetorically rich is the political media communication? What techniques are used in modern political discourse? These questions will be answered by Associate Professor of the Russian Language Department of St. Petersburg State University, Candidate of Philology Irina Anatolyevna Mitrofanova. She will talk about correct speech techniques that are needed for politicians and media people in their speeches in order to convince a dissenting opponent or audience in the controversy unfolding in Telegram-channels and the media. Particular attention will be paid to certain speech techniques.  

The event is free. The meeting will be broadcast on the Presidential Library’s portal in the Live broadcasts section in accordance with the program of live events, on the Rutube-channel of the institution, as well as on the page on the social networks VKontakte and Odnoklassniki.
