A persuasive text is a form of non-fiction writing

conclusion, to summarize the text.

Persuasive text can be used and found in a variety
of publications, such as:
- newspaper columns;
- advertising campaigns;
- academic essays;
- reviews;
- brochures;
- campaign flyers.
 Analyzing Persuasive Texts

1. Identifying the issue

When you read an article, it’s important to
clarify the issue being debated. When
you’re identifying the issue, phrasing
something as a question can often help
clearly state what is being argued over.
2. Identifying the contention
Contention is simply another word for
point-of-view or opinion. Read the piece
of persuasive writing carefully. What does
the writer believe? Starting a sentence
with the word ‘that’ can help you identify
the writer’s contention.
 3. Identifying tone
Tone refers to the overall feeling of a
piece of writing. Here are some useful
words to help you describe tone.
logical neutral informed passionate witty
rational impartial knowledge emotional humorous
reasonable balanced able emotive satirical
analytical objective well-read ardent lighthearte
cogent unbiased vehement d
tongue-in-
cheek
 Persuasive Text Features/Techniques
Certain techniques are used in persuasive texts to help the
writer build a strong argument and win over the reader or
the audience. Some examples of these techniques are:

Rhetorical Questions
Rhetorical questions are ones that don't need an
answer, but they get the reader or listener thinking.
This technique is commonly used in advertisements.
For example, an advertisement might say,

'Want to make your life easier?’

Of course! Everyone does. But in the context of an

advertisement, this will pique the audience's
interest: how will this product or service make my
life easier? The advertisement will then explain
exactly that.
Emotive Language
Emotive language stirs your imagination.
It helps to paint a picture in your mind.
This technique is particularly common in
persuasive texts that have a moral
message.
For example, a brochure covering the dangers
of plastic pollution may use emotive language
to call you to action.

'Our planet is dying, choking on the plastic

we feed it...’

'Dying' and 'choking' are powerful, emotive

verbs that evoke a clear image in the reader's
mind.
 Facts and Statistics
If you want to convince someone that they
should listen to you, you'd use facts, reasoning
and statistics, right? 100% of our readers say,
'yes'!
Evidence is frequently used in persuasive texts
to convince the audience that the writer or
company advertising to you is trustworthy and
reliable.
For example, they may say something like,
'85% of our customers agree!’.
Hearing that other people trust this service or
product encourages us to try it too.

- Statistics can also be used to show the

importance of something.
 Repetition
The more you hear something, the more
likely it is to be true, right? Well, not
exactly - but hearing something
repeatedly does convince us on a
subconscious level. That's why lots of
persuasive texts use repetition
throughout.
Modal Verbs and Adverbs
Modal verbs call the reader to action. These are
verbs such as 'must', 'should' and 'will' - 'you
MUST act now'. They make the audience sense
the urgency in the situation, persuading them to
act as soon as possible
Opinion as Fact
Particularly for opinion pieces such as
articles and essays, writers will state their
opinion as if it's fact to convince the
reader of their argument.
For example, if a persuasive text were discussing the topic
of deforestation, the writer might say that
'deforestation is a cruel way to rid so many species of
their homes’.
This is the writer's opinion written as plain fact.
This technique persuades the reader to trust the writer and
their opinion on this topic.
In speaking to persuade, people use the three
“levels of utterances”
LEVELS OF UTTERANCES
Locutionary force = literal meaning of the
words use. Good condition can result in a
powerful locutionary force.
Illocutionary force = speakers' intent
In an illocutionary speech act, it is not just
saying something itself but with the act of
saying something with the intention of:
• stating an opinion, conforming, or denying
something;
• making a prediction, a promise, a request;
• issuing an order or a decision; or
• giving advice or permission.
 Kinds of Statements used in Illocutionary Force
• Commitments = promises
these include promising, threatening, offering,
refusal, pledges.
• Declarations = usually labelling something
include excommunicating, declaring war,
christening, firing from employment
Directives = commands
These speech acts include requesting, questioning,
command, orders, and suggesting
Expressives = sharing state of mind like
thankfulness or apology
include thanking, apologizing, welcoming, and
congratulating
Representatives = representing reality with
statements of varying degrees of truth
Some examples are suggesting, putting forward, swearing, boasting
and concluding.
 Perlocutionary Force = indicates the effect or impact of
the statement. Its aim is to change feelings, thoughts, or
actions
It can be elicited by:
• inspiring or insulting
• persuading/convincing; or
• deterring/scaring
 Let’s Try: Read and analyze the following sentences

1. We can make it through in this hardships.

2. The room is dark.
3. I promise. I will not miss your special day.
