An argument is what I have always been using regularly on a frequent basis for many purposes. The connection between my reasoning and my languages has to be there in order to make my argument foolproof and sounding. The connection that I am referring to here is ways of persuasion. I am now writing this essay to explore more on how language, for example English, is always needed to be connected to reasoning. In my case, reasoning is persuasion.
Why do I say that persuasion is needed in my argument? It is not always necessarily to be an argument. In real life, we can always spot something created by someone that is using Persuasion. Persuasion here can be understood as reasoning in order to persuade/convince anyone into something through a few methods. Now there is also another point that I took notice of: Language is a way of reasoning and reasoning needs Language .Persuasion is there to make that bond and further improvise the arguments/topics/articles that needed to be carried to the audience. Another point that needed to be explained is the methods for persuasion. There are quite a number of ways in persuasions that is available. However, I shall be picking on only 3 ways that I deem important are innuendo, affirmation and jargon. What I am about to do now is to write on how each of these methods involve languages in order to make reasoning successful and make goals of the speaker achieved.
Let me first define innuendo. It is an indirect suggestion that emphasizes on faults/flaws of certain topics/subjects while masking the speaker of innocent while preventing the mentioned topic/subjects getting upset over such criticism. How is it done? Careful use of language required experts in appropriate wordings/phrasing. If it is done properly, maximum potential of persuasion maybe achieved. Now in order to understand this a little bit more clearly, I shall use an example to clarify it. In a school fair where teams fight for subscriber in order to carry out their little project with the subscriber helps. The other team has got an upper hand in catching the majority attention and potentially ended up with more subscribing to them. What we may do to quickly grab the attention out of the winning team that probably has got a better deal/product would be putting their information of the extreme analysis and desperately search for weakness/lacking of that certain products. After such damaging brainstorming, messages should be immediately carry out to the mass in order to amplify the impact on the crowd, if successful, positive results are gained but in such cases, the ones that were affected may not stay calm or stay as the way they are. One of the positive effects for innuendo is that I give spontaneous result and can be enjoyed and sees immediately. However, it may cause large scale outrage, extreme reaction if the method is overused. Furthermore, accusation or direct assertion can contribute to the failure of the method as well. As we can see, the inability to operate good use of language can be dangerous. Such are how language and reasoning are connected. Without proper language, failures of reasoning would most likely to occur if aggressive reasoning were used. I personally think this statement stand out to be true in my case of the school fair. Even if we manage to get a dead-on mistake of the other teams, we won’t be gaining any supporters without the wise and meaningful vocal power. This is largely due to the crowd thinking of us as a blunt group of people who are struggling with their projects and are at their very limit which would only be employing extreme methods of putting down other projects. Losing the majority‘s favors means a total failure. As such, language once again is proven to be so important to reasoning in this case, innuendo.
