The power of maxims distinguishes men from animals or from any other organisms. An incredible discourse unites three angles – the correct speaker, with the correct message, at the perfect time. Sometimes, a person might be the wrong speaker, here and there the message will not be correct and once in a while, the planning of the discourse is not perfect.  An incredible speech specialist persuades the gathering of people that every one of the three of these angles are in perfect arrangement.  This is a verifiable study where the focus has been to look deeper into the strategic way to show power, solidarity or authority  how they are used in political contexts. The material that the proponents have selected is political speeches by the president of the United States of America, Barack Obama.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SPEECH

Speech distinguishes men from animals or from any other organisms. An incredible discourse unites three angles – the correct speaker, with the correct message, at the perfect time. Sometimes, a person might be the wrong speaker, here and there the message won't be correct and once in a while, the planning of the discourse is not perfect.  An incredible speech specialist persuades the gathering of people that every one of the three of these angles are in perfect arrangement.

                In linguistics and communication studies, a speaker is one who speaks: the producer of an utterance. In rhetoric, a speaker is an orator: one who delivers a speech or formal address to an audience. In literary studies, a speaker is a narrator: one who tells a story.by Rihard Nordquist (https://www.thoughtco.com/speaker-language-and-literature-1692117).

               Barack Obama, a prominent person known for his rhetorical speeches. He uses speech to move, persuade and influence people, specially the people in the United States of America. Moreover, he captured the hearts of many people that lead him to the White House. He became the first Black American President  and won twice in the presidential race. Let's focus on the three speeches of Barack Obama and let's see the linguistic side of it in terms of: Speech Acts, Structuralism and Grice's Maxims of Conversation.

Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and of a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.
