Overview

This sociopragmatic study identifies how TEDx speakers employ persuasive appeals, revealing differences by profession. It shows the impact of persuasive strategies on speech acts used in TEDx talks.

Key Points

The study finds that amateur TEDx presenters favor pathos to emotionally engage audiences, while professionals rely on logos and ethos for credible expression.
Data analysis of four English TEDx talks highlights a clear link between the persuasive appeal used and the speech acts performed by speakers of different professions.
Using Searle’s Theory of Speech Acts and Lucas’s Model of Persuasive Strategies, the research illustrates how speakers' occupations influence their choice of persuasive strategies.
Both qualitative and quantitative analyses reveal that social variables like occupation significantly affect TEDx speakers' application of pragmatic strategies in their talks.
