Persuasive language is used in propaganda, as

the propagandist tries to convince and persuade

the audience of their viewpoint or idea.

TECHNIQUES USED IN PROPAGANDA:

Name-calling: Negative names are used for the

‘enemy’ or opposition, so that the audience

has an emotional response to them and are

immediately biased against them

Generalities:

Linking positive, general, and

commonly accepted words (“love,” “family,”

“democracy”) with a person, group, or cause

to make an audience approve without careful

consideration

Euphemisms:

Substituting words or phrases

with softer, ‘nicer’ ones to create a more

positive response or to mislead intentionally

(“senior citizen” for “old person,” “collateral

damage” for “civilian casualties”)

Appeal to celebrity /authority:

using well-

known personalities to endorse a person,

group, or cause. /An appeal to a ‘higher

authority’ to back up the point

Plain folks/Camaraderie:

Trying to

convince an audience that someone is “one of

them”— this helps to convince the audience

that they ‘know how they feel’, even if they do

not

Bandwagon: Claiming that an audience should

do something because “everybody else is

doing it”- this plays on people’s fear of being

left out

Fear:

Warning an audience that something

horrible will happen to them if they don’t take

certain action

Hyperbole:

An exaggeration, or exaggerated

statement to make a point (‘never’/’always’)
