Other work on the perceived truth status of information has found the same pattern of results regardless of whether the information deals with factual or nonfactual information (Blumer, 1986) and especially if one takes the receiver's initial attitudes into account (Wall, 1972).…”

This article presents a review of the development of research on the persuasive effects of evidence. Focusing on research dealing with the impact of evidence on persuasive communication, this review makes three related arguments. First, past claims about the inconsistency in evidence research are largely mistaken when testimonial assertion evidence is involved; second, the conditions under which evidence should produce maximal effects can be understood by reference to Petty and Cacioppo's Elaboration LikelihoodModel; finally, persuasive effects are surprisingly consistent across evidence types when careful comparison of operational definitions, rather than conclusions, is undertaken.he study of evidence in persuasive communication has long been a prominent area of productive inquiry for commu-

“…Its aim is to achieve communicative goals, one of which is to persuade the audience (Voloshchuk-Usyk 2018). There are implicit and explicit aspects of argumentation that can be revealed, where the argument can be identified as part of a message (Hample 1980). It is of crucial importance for political speeches to be carefully constructed regarding what kind of topics and argumentation to include since they are generally concerned with the promotion of political views (Martínez Guillem 2009).…”

This paper investigates the relationship between argumentation and political discourse. More specifically, this study focuses on the discursive and argumentative strategies employed by one of the most prominent Turkish leaders and current ruling president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The aim is to shed light on linguistic elements that fuel the sense of national identity after the coup attempt of 2016 through employing the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) for unveiling the use of specific argumentative strategies in the translated version of Erdogan’s 2016 Republic Day speech. English's growing presence in politics highly influences translation practices (House 2013). Not all politicians are proficient in English, thus, their speeches undergo translation from their native language. These translated speeches are intended for a global audience, which underscores the pivotal role of English analysis in both political discourse and the field of translation studies. Although the original language of the speech is Turkish, the examination of its English translation serves to highlight the significance of analysing translated political speeches and making these analyses accessible to a wider audience. The findings emphasise the importance of argumentative topics (topoi), such as the topos of History, Definition, Comparison, Threat and Favoruable Time in the advocation of national sentiment at various linguistic and structural levels within the translated political speech of Erdoğan. The implications of this research extend to the understanding of the intricate interplay between argumentative language and concepts of national sentiment within political discourse. Future research can further explore the application ofDHA in the analysis of political discourse, allowing for deeper insights into the communicative strategies employed by political leaders.
