TY - JOUR ID - 1814120 AU - Adam, Martin PY - 2021 TI - Sentiment(ality) as a means of persuasion: On the thin ice of manipulation in Protestant sermons JF - Discourse and Interaction VL - 14 IS - 2 SP - 5-23 EP - 5-23 PB - Masaryk University Press SN - 18029930 KW - persuasion KW - sermons KW - pathos KW - sentiment KW - sentimentality KW - manipulation UR - https://journals.muni.cz/discourse-and-interaction/article/view/18659/14713 N2 - Religious discourse represents an area of human communication in which persuasion plays a vital role; religious texts seem to be essentially related to the ultimate objective of religion: to create, mediate and legitimise ideology in order to persuade the reader of the veracity of the religious doctrine (Fairclough 1989, Cotterell & Turner 1989: 26-33, van Dijk 1998: 317). The paper seeks to investigate the persuasive strategies and linguistic means employed to convey persuasion in English Protestant sermons. The analysis focuses on the rhetorical role of pathos, which is purposefully evoked by the preacher via wilful employment of affect and emotions. Attention is also be paid to the blurred borderline between the intentional use of sentiment and sentimentality, and manipulation. ER -
