Abstract

This study concerns with the application of rhetorical devices in speech. It deals with language of persuasion used by KH. Abdullah Gymnastiar who has popular name Aa' Gym-in his speeches. We know that speech constitutes persuasive communication that relies on involving listeners, engaging them directly and indirectly. In religious speeches, language is managed by the religious figure not merely to explain something but also to influence the audience to adopt certain point of view or certain attitude. So that, the proselitizer's competence in language is needed badly. Specifically, this study investigates some persuasive Mdevices used in Aa' Gym's speeches and how the devices are used to influence audience. In this study the writer uses qualitative approach. Data (Aa' Gym's speeches) are obtained from "lndahnya Kebersamaan" program in private TV-SCTV. The writer describes and explains the data in terms of rhetorical devices and persuasive purposes. Then, the description and explanation of rhetorical devices are constrained to the two classifications of persuasive devices: figurative language which cover metaphor, simile, analogy, personification, allusion, irony, and synecdoche; and schematic language which cover anaphora, antistrophe, ploche, epizeuxis, symploche, antithesis, litotes and questioning. Then they are immediately analysed in terms of persuasive purposes. The writer found that Aa' Gym uses both figurative and schematic language as means to influence his audience.
