Abstract

Experts in the field of linguopolitology say that B. Johnson, as a politician, actively uses speech tools in order not only to gain the trust of the British government, but also to lead it in the right direction. Due to the fact that B. Johnson proved to be a good speaker, skillfully used speech strategies, tactics, stylistic techniques, tropes, he gained a reputation as a charismatic personality and the authority of an experienced politician in the world community. Many linguists analyze B. Johnson’s speeches at conferences, in interviews and other speech manifestations. Boris Johnson’s speech at the conference to the Tories in 2019 is another manifestation of Boris Johnson’s oratory and eloquence, as indicated by a large number of metaphors, phraseological units, generalizations, comparisons and other techniques.
