A Critical Stylistic Analysis of Polarization in American President Joe Biden's Campaign in the Last American Elections

Abstract

The opposition between two persons, parties or groups is referred to as polarization. Such disagreement is interpreted using a variety of ideological techniques due to the detrimental effects of the polarizing strategy used in political debates, which have an impact on societies generally and the political stability of the countries in particular. The purpose of the current study is to explore this strategy used by U.S. President Joe Biden in his tweets to indicate his political and ideological intentions and goals during his last election. The research employs Jeffries' approach of critical stylistic analysis (2010). In order to make up for the fuzziness of CDA, Jeffries (2010) aimed to propose a collection of devices within the critical stylistics (CS). Text techniques used in literary and non-literary speech use language structures to describe the world, using linguistic forms leading to the generalization "that all texts are ideological. Thus, "all texts producers produce hidden ideologies to influence or manipulate.
