A politician who candidates in an election process uses rhetorical figures to persuade as many people as possible that he/she is the best for that position. Construction figures are important because they give extra- meaning to the speeches. Four types of construction figures were analyzed in this article: repetition, antithesis, gradation and anacoluthia. All of these figures were exemplified in the speeches held by the candidates in the 2009 presidential elections in Romania.
