Rhetorical Tropes in the Presidential Campaign 2009/2010 in Croatia
Authors analyze figurativeness in speeches of presidential candidates during the last presidential campaign in Croatia. This paper explores how the usage of rhetorical tropes in speeches of presidential candidates influenced the election results and number of votes of each candidate. Rhetorical tropes are figurative non-literal expressions that involve a turn of meaning. Those used in the presidential campaign are divide according to the traditional classification: metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, irony, periphrasis, litotes, hyperbole and emphasis. In this paper metaphor is analized and outlined as one of the master tropes. Many different types of metaphors occur in the analyzed political context. Most commonly, in Croatian political discourse, mataphor is drawn from the sports and military terminology, for example, the expressions „political competition“, „presidential race“, „leading the political battle“. In this paper the usage of rhetorical tropes with the succes of presidential candidates in the above mentioned presidential campaign will be compared.
