Rhetorical study of hypocrisy in Arabic presidential speeches about Gaza in Palestine

A complex idea, hypocrisy has been examined logically by linguists and empirically by psychologists. In this study, research participants are given a variety of scenarios to consider the actor in each scenario acted hypocritically or not. Several components have been thought to be necessary for hypocrisy, such as the kinds of hypocrisy, intention to deceive and self-deception, as well as rhetorical structure that may or may not be distinguished from hypocrisy, such as metaphor, hyperbole, litotes and pun are evaluated. Our results show that popular perceptions of hypocrisy frequently diverge from theoretical conjecture. We contend that Understanding the definition of hypocrisy in its entirety necessitates taking into account how common people interpret the term. Unlike certain notions (like physical causation), where lay conceptions are fascinating but not very important, social judgments depend heavily on hypocrisy. Therefore, one may contend that conventional wisdom is the best judge of what constitutes hypocrisy. As such, the researcher will point out the types of hypocrisy and its impact on Arabic political speeches via rhetorical study of their speeches.

Abstract

A complex idea, hypocrisy has been examined logically by linguists and empirically by psychologists. In this study, research participants are given a variety of scenarios to consider the actor in each scenario acted hypocritically or not. Several components have been thought to be necessary for hypocrisy, such as the kinds of hypocrisy, intention to deceive and self-deception, as well as rhetorical structure that may or may not be distinguished from hypocrisy, such as metaphor, hyperbole, litotes and pun are evaluated. Our results show that popular perceptions of hypocrisy frequently diverge from theoretical conjecture. We contend that Understanding the definition of hypocrisy in its entirety necessitates taking into account how common people interpret the term. Unlike certain notions (like physical causation), where lay conceptions are fascinating but not very important, social judgments depend heavily on hypocrisy. Therefore, one may contend that conventional wisdom is the best judge of what constitutes hypocrisy. As such, the researcher will point out the types of hypocrisy and its impact on Arabic political speeches via rhetorical study of their speeches.
