rhetoric
Significado: The art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing; language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect but often lacking sincerity or meaningful content.
Rhetoric has two distinct connotations: as a discipline, it is the ancient and respected art of persuasion, studied since Aristotle; as a criticism, it implies empty, manipulative, or bombastic language — 'mere rhetoric.' In political journalism, rhetoric is frequently used in its negative sense: 'the government's rhetoric does not match its actions.' Rhetorical devices include metaphor, repetition, parallelism, and the rhetorical question.
