Abstract

Discourse strategies are among the important matters in constructing, studying and analyzing discourses, as they are linked to the linguistic and non-linguistic methods that the sender uses in making the discourse, and to devote his authority through these methods, in order to achieve certain goals. The importance of the rhetorical strategy in the field of political discourse is embodied more than in other discursive fields, because of its clear and declared relationships with political and ideological references, and with the mental-intellectual processes that the goal holder performs to achieve his goals. By studying these strategies, the researcher will be able to monitor the political trends of the political forces, especially the ruling authority, and provide an organized description of the political discourse, and a number of other issues.
