We conducted a cross performance comparison, such as, a) Statistical MT (SMT) Vs RuleBasedMT (RBMT) b) English to Malayalam SMT Vs Malayalam to English SMT c) English to Malayalam RBMT Vs Malayalam to English RBMT. One of the motivations of our study is to identify the pros and cons of different approaches. In this paper, we present our work on a case study on various Machine Translation approaches for English to Malayalam and Malayalam to English language translation. Selection of proper approaches will save the time and effort when developing good quality Machine Translation (MT) systems. The study also concluded that the persuasive strategies used by Clinton and Obama in their speeches contributed to the winning of the presidential elections in 19. Furthermore, the analysis showed that other persuasive strategies which are sometimes used by some politicians were not employed by neither Clinton nor Obama in their speeches, such as the strategy of arousing the national identity of their audience, the questioning strategy, the metaphors strategy, the swearing strategy, the strategy of using proverbs, and the strategy of summarization. On the other hand, Obama used only one strategy that was not clearly used by Clinton which is the emotional strategy. These are: the fear strategy, the strategy of historical citation and the strategy of religious citation. In addition to these five major persuasive strategies, the analysis showed that Clinton in particular, employed three more persuasive strategies that were not used by Obama. The comparative critical deconstruction of the speeches showed that both Clinton and Obama employed a variety of persuasive strategies such as, the inclusive strategy, the strategy of giving promises and commitments, the contrasting strategy, the strategy of exaggerating the negative side of the "other" and the repetition strategy. The major strategies of persuasion which are usually used by politicians are reviewed to determine which of these strategies are employed in each of these speeches. The study applies the critical discourse analysis (CDA) approach in analyzing these speeches. The speeches were retrieved from the New York Times Newspaper website and were analyzed through a process of deconstruction to identify and compare the nature of persuasive strategies employed in each speech. The study aimed at comparing the strategies of persuasion employed by Bell Clinton and Barack Obama in their presidential nomination speeches before the Democratic National Conventions in 19, respectively.
