AN ANALYSIS OF THE LETTER TO AMERICA BY OSAMA BIN LADEN
This research project explores the rhetorical strategies of Osama Bin Laden’s communication with the Western world. The study discovers themes related to the letter and emphasises bin Laden's strategic use of vocabulary, word choices, and grammatical aspects to criticise U.S. policies, evoke emotions, and advocate for resistance against perceived injustices. Additionally, the analysis underscores the persuasive impact of Osama bin Laden's linguistic techniques in portraying the U.S. as corrupt and oppressive, justifying violent resistance. The study acknowledges potential limitations such as language mistranslation and suggests future research directions to address these challenges and enhance the understanding of Osama bin Laden's rhetorical strategies and ideological impact.
