| Abstract | ||
| The focal point of paper attempts to investigate the impact of Force dynamics in Trump's speeches from a cognitive linguistic perspective. The researcher, from a cognitive linguistic perspective, relies upon Talmy's Theory of force dynamics in Trump's Speeches. Such theory is based upon two major facets: steady Steady-State Force-Dynamics and Shifting Force-Dynamics where there is conflict between agonist and antagonist to prevail and to be salient and stronger and to carry out his/her agenda. The researcher concludes that Trump has cognitively managed to prove that he is a powerful president that is characterized with determination, willingness, force, insistence, persistence. Thus, he is a highly qualified president in the Americans' eyes. | ||
