Abstract

This study aims at finding out the attitudes adopted by Trump and Clinton in presidential debates to convince the voter of their views, opinions, beliefs, stances, and behaviour. As such, the pragmatic functions of the candidates’ attitudes are to be investigated and how much persuasion a candidate has obtained while arguing for or against a certain topic or a given issue.
