The term eloquent is used as an adjective to qualify people or situations that demonstrate eloquence and that, in such a way, they are clear about the meaning they seek to convey. Eloquence is a quality that some people have (although they can also have it images or sounds or different communicational acts) that is based on the facility to convey a meaning or an idea, perhaps without the need to speak. The idea that something is eloquent generally means that it speaks for itself and needs no further explanation.
Eloquence is a quality that not all individuals possess. It has to do with several elements that come together at the same time: on the one hand, the ability to have clear ideas and thoughts. At the same time, it is important to know how to express them clearly, concisely and effectively so that those who eventually act as audiences can understand them. Finally, eloquence always requires the use of a language appropriate according to the situation and the event that takes place since it is not the same to use a language
formal or informal in all situations.When we speak of an eloquent person, we are referring to those people who know how to express what they think in an attractive and clear way. Thus, eloquence is today one of the features more important for politicians since it allows them to attract larger amounts of public. To a large extent, eloquence also has to do with the ability to persuade discreetly and effectively to those who make public or audience.
However, eloquence is not only present in the language written and spoken but also in the bodily, through gestures, symbols, body postures and facial expressions, which often denote much more than words say.
