exploring rhetorical-discursive moves in hassan rouhani’s inaugural speech: a eulogy for moderation
Authors
abstract
before a president practically begins his four-year term of office in iran, a formal inaugural ceremony is held in the parliament. being attended by national dignitaries and representatives from other countries, the inauguration of iran's seventh president, hasan rouhani, was spectacular in several respects. the current study aimed at investigating the generic structure and rhetorical moves that ran through the president’s inaugural discourse. then, a critical discourse analysis (cda) approach, drawing upon fairclough’s three dimensional approach (2010), was adopted to explore the socio-cultural, religious, and political values underlying different rhetorical moves he employed in his inaugural address. the results demonstrated that rouhani constructed his inaugural address on a succession of 9 generic moves using an interdiscursive mix of generic (i.e., inaugural, report, informational) and discoursal (i.e., religious, constitutional, and revolutionary) structures to reach out to different sectors of iranian population. the predominant inaugural genre was then manifested largely through intertextuality and interdiscursivity, drawing upon other related (sub-) genres.

This paper adds to these recent accounts by pro...

We propose an extractive summarization system with a novel non-generative probabilistic framework for speech summarization. One of the most under-utilized features in extractive summarization is rhetorical information -semantically cohesive units that are hidden in spoken documents. We propose Rhetorical-State Hidden Markov Models (RSHMMs) to automatically decode this underlying structure in sp...
