Abstract
Political rhetoric is one of the new forms of rhetorical science or the use of persuasion’s means in speech. In this regard, the parliamentary rhetoric, which is one of the most prominent manifestations of the political discourse of the countries, needs to be studied substantially. The five main centers of Rhetoric as creativity (Ethos, Logos, Pathos), Disposition, Eloquence, Deliverance and Memorial, form the important phases of the Rhetorical study of lectures from traditional to current concept. In this study, with the aim of examining the strengths and weaknesses of the debates in the general speech of the Islamic Consultative Assembly’s members, the authors will find a new pattern of the parliamentary rhetoric in Iran. By examining the pattern of general speech in the representatives of the two political fractions, Omid and Velayat, the authors have found that in most cases, regardless of the difference in the type of Pathos, speakers are weak in Disposition and Deliverance section. Finally, based on the results obtained, the authors provide a model for achieving a principled speech based on rhetorical rules. Finally, based on the results obtained, the goal is to provide a model for achieving a principled speech based on rhetorical rules in order to provide a dynamic and efficient parliamentary rhetoric based on daily needs of country.
