study is adapted from the theory of RDs by McGuigan (2007) who classified RDs into categories Both qualitative and quantitative methods are mainly used to analyze the data The aim of the study is to work out the frequency of occurrence of RDs in five PDT’s speeches in the first two years of presidency a lu n from 2017 to 2019 and then to discuss the underlying usage patterns of these va RDs The findings show that there are 16 RDs in all four groups being n tn to employed in PDT’s speeches Regarding RDs helping with Strategy, Trump p ie gh frequently used metaphor, hyperbole, antithesis, simile, and rhetorical question With regard to RDs helping with Organization, Trump utilized oa nl w anadiplosis/conduplicatio, enumeration, parallelism, and antanagoge Considering RDs helping with Style, Trump tended to apply epithet, d a lu synecdoche/metonymy, polysyndeton, and hyperbaton In terms of RDs f an nv helping with Analysis of Reading, Trump was more likely to employ anaphora/epistrophe/symploce, personification, and parataxis Another ul oi lm interesting finding found in the study is that in comparison with the other nh three groups of devices, Trump had a strong tendency towards Style RDs at which preferred with the predominance of epithet Therefore, the close z z analysis unfolds the pedagogical practicality of these devices, which can be a @ om l.c gm
