Análisis del fenómeno de persuasión en el discurso medioambiental de Juan Pablo II
Analysis of the Persuasion Phenomenon in the Environmental Discourse of John Paul II

Summary/Abstract: This article constitutes a contrastive analysis of the discourse of John Paul II and precisely of the linguistic resources of persuasion that appear in a thematic type of his homilies. As research material, texts in two selected languages are used: Polish and Spanish, which deal only with the environmental issue. The objective of the article is to present some linguistic (rhetorical) resources of the persuasion phenomenon that appear in homilies of John Paul II. Our intention is to show, based on a series of concrete examples, what formal elements influence the persuasiveness of John Paul II's speech and how these resources vary across both languages.
