Research Abstract

In the spirit of language as the central force in political persuasion, this study has examined the relationship between language and political leadership diachronically. More specifically, the following questions were addressed: What rhetorical strategies did the Japanese leadership use to speak to the nation? How effective was the persuasive power of the language the leadership demonstrated (or failed to demonstrate)? In analyzing the language of leadership, the theoretical constructs of rapport talk and report talk were proven to be useful tools.
