The discussion was attended by several faculty members and graduate students.
The thesis, presented by student Hala Khalid Mohammed, addressed the evaluation of persuasive tools used in English political texts. The thesis aimed to analyze the language and persuasive techniques used by well-known political figures and study the extent to which failure to understand the rhetorical functions of these techniques might distort persuasive texts when translated into Arabic.
The discussion committee was chaired by Prof. Dr. Mohammed Nihad Ahmed from the College of Arts at the University of Mosul, with the membership of Dr. Osama Misbah Mahmoud, Associate Professor at the College of Arts, University of Mosul, and Assistant Professor Anwar Abdul Wahab Jassim, also from the College of Arts, University of Mosul.
