Abstract
This research study looks at the communicative techniques and linguistic choices Anwar Maqsood utilized to pique his audience's interest in the figurative language he used in his speech. The study's goal is to identify the contextual elements that influence figurative language comprehension. The speech of Anwar Maqsood is analyzed via qualitative techniques, namely discourse analysis. In light of Pakistan's contemporary social landscape, the research looks for examples of metaphorical language. To comprehend how metaphorical language and lexical choices are employed to highlight the positive and negative images given by Anwar Maqsood's words, linguistic choices, rhetorical instruments, and communicative tactics are analyzed. The results show the use of figurative language in his speech. Anwar Maqsood's use of recurrent themes, patterns, and strategies is identified in the study, which also emphasizes how societal norms, cultural references, and the intention of persuasion shape figurative language. The study provides insightful viewpoints on persuasive techniques, language education approaches, rhetorical devices, and public speaking training.
