“…The findings above have confirmed that the use of some figurative language: symbols and idioms lead to gender bias. These findings support the studies of Andersen, Emilie and Holsting (2018), Boeynaems, Burgers and Konijn (2021), Lule (2007), Moragas-fernández, Calvo and Capdevila (2018) and Skoufaki (2019) that the way of employing words determines the proposition being built.

Since the researchers were participant observers, relevant data notes were taken. To support the observation data, the researchers conducted interviews and documentation studies. Dwelling pragmatic theory, the obtained data were analyzed through some stages: data reduction, data display, and drawing a conclusion. It is discovered that on record without redressive consisting of positive and negative type is predominantly used as a strategy followed by redressive and off the record. In addition, gender bias was found in the use of the figurative language of metaphor, simile, and symbolism in the spokesmen’s utterances.

“…Some difficulties relating to the top-level organization of texts are covered, and the more specific planning such as the selection of discourse markers and clause arrangement has been examined. In Sophia Skoufaki (2009) research paper entitled " An Exploratory Application of Rhetorical Structure Theory to Detect Coherence Errors in L2 English Writing: Possible Implications for Automated Writing" she presents a preliminary investigation into the viability of using Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) (Mann & Thompson, 1988) to identify coherence errors made by Taiwanese low-intermediate English learners. For three reasons, it is believed that this inquiry is necessary.…”

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) represents one of the areas of increasing importance in various human fields as the fields of discourse analysis have recently included fields of literature, culture, politics and even health and education. There are many approaches to the study and analysis of discourse, including linguistic, social, philosophical, and other approaches. Rhetoric is the art of good speech. It is latent in writing and speaking persuasively. Its aim is to inform, educate, persuade or motivate specific audiences in specific situations. Since rhetoric has a close relationship with the literary text in its various manifestations and its artistic, literary and analytical formations, the critical and rhetorical discourse has witnessed a remarkable development in the field of linguistics in general and discourse analysis in particular. The present study attempts to illustrate the value of the rhetorical discourse through exploring the persuasive strategies and linguistic devices used by Ursula Von der Leyen's speech on Europe's digital future. Through the study, the researcher tries to shed light on the cultural change and cognitive progress in light of digitalization age. The five principles of rhetoric: invention, arrangement, style, delivery, and memory will be explored for the analysis of the chosen speech. Rhetorical Structure theory (RST) as developed by Bill Mann in 2000 and William C. Mann in 2006 within the field of computational linguistics has been employed for proving the relationship between text organization and showing the effectiveness of the rhetorical and critical discourse, and hence showing the scientific and technological progress in the age of digitalization.

“…Depending on the specific context they are addressing, speakers may use different words, skills, styles, dialects, or other linguistic aspects (Briones, 2016;Davies & Bentahila, 2008;Devianty, 201;Green & Wei, . 2014;Martin & Zappavigna 2019;Skoufaki, 2019;Scott-Baumann, 2011;Tomoyuki, 2021;Zhan & Huang. 2018).…”

The findings showed that the teacher used three different types of as well as six functions of code-switching during interactions in the classroom. The types include tag switching (12), intra-sentential switching (37), and inter-sentential switching (62). Besides, the researcher found that the code-switching used by the teacher has the referential function (2), the directive function (31), the expressive function ( 20), the phatic function ( 18), the metalinguistic function ( 26) times, and poetic function (3).
