This article examines some of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam's selected speeches from a thematic, stylistic and linguistic points of view. The intended themes of the speeches have been analyzed with utilitarian, moral, philosophical, social and educational significance. The styles of his oration, usage of rhetorical figures and other literary elements, diction, and structures of language also have been elaborately explained with scrutinizing eyes. The study observes the speeches containing worthy messages and valuable suggestions with pragmatic and inspiring value blended with appealing rhetoric and wonderful linguistic expressions that simultaneously help the audience to be a skilled social being to fitly implement the materialistic value of life and to be enchanted and entertained as well. The glowing light from each of his famous quotes unceasingly spread the beam of hope and aspirations among the young and old, deprived or frustrated, worried, or contended alike. |
