    Persuasion and Framing in Debates

    For this episode of debatable, I discuss the linguistic considerations to make a debate speech more persuasive. It isn't enough to be logical and coherent with your ideas, it also matters that you are able to present the idea in a way that many people can easily grasp and comprehend!
