Exposing Greta Thunberg’s True Face

In her speech at Austrian World Summit, Greta Thunberg accuses political leaders of “role-playing”, “playing with words”, and only using the “crisis” as a “business opportunity”. However, is Greta that different from the people she criticizes? How convincing are her arguments? To answer these questions, this in-depth language analysis focuses on Greta’s persuasion techniques and arguments and what they reveal about her. The analysis uses academic concepts such as ‘presuppositions’, ‘constitutive rhetoric’, and ‘synecdoches’ and draws comparisons to excerpts from Greta’s 2021 Youth4Climate speech and Glastonbury speech.

As an analysis, this video is made according to the terms of ‘fair use’. The video has an educational purpose, and you can use many of the principles and concepts to decode your own daily conversations.
