Persuasive Language And Debate Words
Those two sentences are roughly the same length, but one is far more persuasive than the other. The second sentence has words and phrases that build audience connection. All parents and judges want students to feel accepted and learn, so using these words helps them relate to and have compassion for whatever student you are discussing.
It is critical that we have an accepting, and safe environment for gender non-conforming students so that schools can become a secure place to learn for everyone to learn.
It is important that there are special washrooms for gender non-conforming students in schools so that they do not face discrimination.
Persuasive words are the easiest of the three to incorporate into your style. Simply expanding your vocabulary will assist you in any round, but there are times when it is critical to move your judges. The goal of persuasive language is to move someone past what your argument would have done naturally. This is most effective, in rounds that are discussing individuals. When you are in those rounds, there should always be a discussion about the impacts to the individual. When you are impacting, the goal is to show accurate outcomes for that person, but make them seem important. Read the following sentences and see which one you find most persuasive.
Sometimes you don’t have enough time to say everything you want to. There may be a complex piece of economic analysis, or a principle in law that is difficult to explain. Loaded words allow judges to remember those things, without you having to explain each piece fully. The loaded words you use will depend on the specific round you are in, so doing lots of reading before a tournament can be extremely helpful.
Loaded words can be useful in almost every debate, especially with experienced judges. Loaded words, is a concept used to describe words that have a lot of meaning associated with them. These words allow people to fill in analysis for you.
Debate Words
Especially in higher levels of debate, debaters will use words or phrases that can be confusing to those who haven’t encountered them. Here are some important debater words, and appropriate times to use them.
Analysis
Analysis is a word used to describe the ideas that prove your point. When you have complex ideas in LEET for example, that is analysis. Analysis is a good word to use instead of points, or arguments.
For example, instead of saying: we gave you a lot of different reasons as to why there would be war, you could say: our analysis demonstrated why there would be war. It makes it sound more professional, and it allows you to say more with fewer words.
Nuance
Nuance means very detailed analysis. It can also be used to refer to parts of your analysis that are super specific to either the resolution or a specific actor. It implies elegance or sophistication in your argument.
An area where debaters commonly use the word nuance is when rebuilding. They might say something like: my opponents didn’t deal with the nuance of our arguments… which just means that they are saying you didn’t deal with all the parts of their argument, or the full analysis.
False Dichotomy
False Dichotomy is a word that means “false choice”. Your opponents try to paint you into a corner by giving you two choices, when there are many more than two. Saying so, in your clash, helps your judges realize that your opponents weren’t giving you a fair choice or an accurate characterization.
Slippery Slope
Slippery slope is a term that is used to describe analysis that is unrealistic.
For example: When we allow seals to eat as much fish as they want, we will have no more fish, which will cause all other ocean species to die out, resulting in a world famine.
That is clearly unreasonable analysis, and could be described as a slippery slope. Not all slippery slopes need to be that ridiculous, but if it seems unlikely to occur, and they don’t give you sufficient analysis, then slippery slope is a good word to use in clash.
Claim
A “claim”, is debate lingo for something you have said in argumentation. So if you make an argument, you are making a claim about whatever your argument is centralized on.
68 English Words Commonly Used In Spanish
Are they speaking English?
No, they couldn’t be. But that word sounded so darn familiar.
You’re speaking Spanish with native speakers, and all of sudden something odd happened. You can hardly make sense of it. But-ah, again!-there’s another strangely familiar word that sounds distinctly un-Spanish.
You start to question yourself. Are you mishearing? Are they trying to make it easier for you to understand? Are you in some sort of alternate universe? The answers are no, no and probably not.
The reason those words sound so un-Spanish is probably that they aren’t Spanish at all-at least not originally. Spanish has borrowed a number of words from the English language.
So while you may study up on idioms, travel phrases and restaurant vocabulary for your impending trip, and you may even know slang to sound like a true Argentine, Mexican, Ecuadorian or Spaniard, you can also actually use some familiar English-language words while speaking Spanish.
What Are Loanwords and Why Are They Noteworthy?
It’s no secret that all languages borrow words from other languages. After all, some very useful words begin in one language and other languages need them too.
These words that are taken from one language and used as-is in their adopted language are known as “loanwords.”
More specifically, we can call words that originally came from English but are now borrowed by other languages “Anglicisms.” This term indicates their English origin.
It’s important to be familiar with loanwords, and Anglicisms in particular, because they make learning and remembering new vocabulary words much easier. After all, you already know the word in English, so memorizing the same word in Spanish will be a breeze!
Just take a look at the English loanwords that we’ve put together here, and you’ll know what we mean!
The following words all came from English (most recently-they may have some deeper linguistic origins) and are now used in Spanish.
Some of these words have multiple spellings included. This is because they often appear spelled in multiple ways. There’s no real proper way to spell it. One version is usually closer to the English language while the other is made more traditionally Spanish.
Keep in mind that, regardless of the spelling, you’ll need to pronounce all of these words with a good, solid Spanish accent.
-Fashion and Lifestyle-
While this word will look familiar to English speakers, it actually has a slightly different meaning from its English-language counterpart. In Spanish, panty or panti actually refers to pantyhose or tights.
In English, “smoking” is a verb, but in Spanish it’s a noun. Smoking or esmoquin refers to a tuxedo or dinner jacket. Need an easy way to remember this? Think of the English term “smoking jacket.”
Both spellings refer to the synthetic fabric.
Though it’s sometimes known as a perforación, the word piercing is often used to refer to-you guessed it-a piercing of any shape, size or body part.
-Sports-
Taken from the English word “football,” this word is used to refer to soccer (or what everyone everywhere, aside from people in the U.S.A., calls “football”).
6. Básquetbol
While it’s sometimes called baloncesto, which uses the natural Spanish vocabulary choices for ball (balón) and basket (cesto), basketball is also known as básquetbol throughout Latin America.
No surprises here. Tenis means “tennis.” Be sure to place the emphasis on the second syllable ( tenis) in Spanish.
This is another straightforward one. Hockey means “hockey” in both Spanish and English.
This is identical in meaning and spelling-but not in pronunciation, of course-in both Spanish and English.
10. Waterpolo
Here’s a twist. Waterpolo is the Spanish equivalent of our “water polo.” Note the slight difference in spacing. Captivating, no?
Yup, golf is still golf.
While the English word “surf” is usually used as a verb to refer to the sport, in Spanish surf is actually a noun referring to the sport, so it’s more similar in meaning to the English word “surfing.”
This one is a bit tricky. In English, “footing” usually refers to the placement of your feet. However, in Spanish, it’s a noun meaning “jogging.”
14. Spinning
This indoor cycling is exhausting in either language.
Gol means “goal.”
-Computers and Technology-
“Tweet,” “retweet,” “twitter,” “hashtag” and pretty much any other Twitter-affiliated term will be the same in both Spanish and English.
Though sometimes called correo electrónico, email is also frequently used to refer to email. Pronounce both the e and the mail strongly.
When referring to an online post (though not other types of posts), post is equivalent to the English word “post.”
Chat is used to refer to online chats or chatrooms.
Link can be used to refer to online links, but not other sorts of links such as connections or chains.
22. Internet
This is the same in both Spanish and English.
Again, the meaning is identical in both Spanish and English.
Though the abbreviation is the same, in Spanish the full name is actually disco de video digital.
Unlike the rest of the abbreviations yet to come, this one’s letters are pronounced with a more Englishy accent, dee-vee-dee.
This abbreviation is taken directly from English. To say the full words in Spanish, you would say disco compacto, so clearly the abbreviation is derived from English or it would be DC.
This abbreviation, along with all of the following, must be read out loud in Spanish letters with classic Spanish pronunciation.
This abbreviation also comes from the English abbreviation. After all, sistema de posicionamiento global doesn’t quite lend itself to the abbreviation GPS.
This is used to refer to a personal computer in both Spanish and English.
In both Spanish and English, this refers to “frequently asked questions” that webpages often post.
-Food and Drink-
What with margaritas, piña coladas and sangria, you’d think English had taken more drinks from Spanish than vice versa. However, drinks know no language boundaries and English-language drink names are now common in Spanish. Whiskey and güisqui are both used to refer to whiskey.
30. Gin-tonic
Gin-tonic is a gin and tonic.
31. Bloody Mary
This is a brunch favorite in either language.
Cocktail and cóctel are both used to mean “cocktail” or “mixed drink.”
No matter which way you spell it, it’s the same delicious dish that we English-speakers know and love all too well.
While tocino and tocineta are commonly used in Latin America, beicon, béicon and/or bacón are frequently used in Spain to refer to the salty meat.
In both English and Spanish, this refers to an outdoor meal beloved by cartoon bears.
-People-
Though historically used to mean a New Englander, this term in modern Spanish now usually refers to any American (sometimes as a pejorative).
In both Spanish and English, this term refers to someone trying to be trendy or superior to others.
38. Gángster
Gángster means “gangster.”
39. Hooligan
While there are many Spanish terms that are equivalent to the English word “hooligan,” the loanword hooligan is more used to refer to trouble-making students or young people.
This is the same in both languages. Peace, man. Both the i and y are pronounced like the Spanish letter i.
This is the same in both Spanish and English.
Líder is derived from the English word “leader.”
While in English we more frequently call them “bartenders,” the Spanish word barman comes from the old-timey English term “barman” or “barkeep.”
These words can be used to refer to a rock musician or fan.
-Music-
This is the same in both Spanish and English.
Funk in Spanish refers to the style of music.
Blues in Spanish refers to the style of music, not the color group.
Pop in Spanish refers to the style of music but not soda, the noise or the verb.
This mostly refers to the music style though it can occasionally be used to refer to a person.
House refers to a style of music, but it does not mean “house” as in the place where you live.
Heavy is used to refer to heavy metal music.
52. Breakdance / Breikdans
Breakdance and Breikdans are used to refer to the dance style.
-Locations-
In Spanish, the word bar can be used to mean “bar,” as it does in English, a place where people go to drink.
Club can be used to refer to virtually any type of club, from golf clubs to yacht clubs to nightclubs-most often nightclubs.
Pub means the same in both Spanish and English.
In Spanish camping and cámping can be used to mean “camping,” “campground” or “campsite.”
In English, “parking” is a verb to refer to the act of parking a car. However, in Spanish it is a noun used to refer to a parking lot.
-Other-
58. Bestseller / Béstseller
In both Spanish and English, this word is used to refer to popular books.
These terms are used to refer to comic strips and comic books.
Though sometimes referred to as pasatiempo, a hobby is often called a hobby.
Boicot comes from the English word “boycott.”
Bol comes from the English word “bowl.” Whether it’s filled with helado (ice cream) or something else is a moot point.
In Spanish, this term refers to a heart bypass but not a road bypass.
64. Overbooking
This word has the same meaning in both Spanish and English. Once you’ve gotten bumped from a flight because of it, it’s a term you’ll never forget.
65. Marketing
Used exclusively as a noun in Spanish, this refers to the commercial field of marketing and the act of marketing a product or service.
Though sometimes called hostelería, catering or cátering can also be used to refer to caterers themselves, their businesses and the general services they offer.
Zapping is a colloquial term used for channel surfing
Whether in Spanish or English, this is an agreeable term.
As you can see, Spanish uses a lot of English words.
With new terms entering each language daily, the overlap between these two great languages will only grow with time.
