In order to make the analysis easier, the writer used code for each sentence that contains modality. The sentences
containing modality in Melania Trump‟s speech were coded
with the initial of M, while Ivanka‟s with the initial of I. The second digit of the code is the number that shows the order of the sentence. As an
example, the code of the first sentence containing modality in Melania Trump‟s speech is M1, the second sentence is M2, and so on. On another hand, the code for
the first sentence containing modality in Ivanka‟s speech is I1, the second sentence is I2, and so on.
The next step was analyzing the sentence by including the contextual meaning. Each sentence which contains a modal will be described in a narrative
way to get a deeper understanding about what the sentence is about. This was the basic step to get to the intended purposes that are delivered by the speakers. In this
part, the type of modality is the most important aspect which influences the result of the analysis. After all the sentences containing modality were analyzed and
described, the writer defined the ideologies seen from the context. This was meant to
see whether the ideology reflected from the modality of Melania Trump‟s and Ivanka Trump‟s campaign speeches are similar or different.
