CHAPTER IV DATA ANALYSIS

From the previous chapter, the researcher has given the example about how to analyze Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s speech concerning the bombing that occurred in Jakarta which is taken from www.thejakartaglobe.com of July 17, 2009 entitled SBYs Speech on the Jakarta Bombings. Those examples are only a brief explanation, but the detail analysis will be further presented in this chapter.

4.4 The Findings of SBY’s Speech

The findings in the analysis of SBY’s speech are divided into three steps which consist of sub-steps among the first two steps. The first step is analyzing the text at the whole text-level which is divided into genre, framing, foregrounding or backgrounding, presupposition, and discursive difference. Genre shows the social goals and how the composition of the speech text is used. As a result, it can be seen that the social purpose and the structure have been used properly or not. Framing describes how the content of the speech is delivered to the recipient. From the analysis, it can be seen that the whole speech’s content can be received well or it may cause an obscurity on the recipient. Visual aid describes the image accompanying the text of a speech. Based on the description, it can be known how appropriate the relationship between the image and the things delivered in the speech. In other words, it can be concluded whether the image shows equally to the speech theme. Foregrounding and backgrounding describe some concepts or main ideas contained in the entire speech. So, it is known that the ideas reach to the people or not. Meanwhile presupposition describes how speaker’s assumptions are typically expressed. Based on the analysis, it makes the speech more understandable to the readers or listeners, so they can catch the idea of the speech easily. Whereas, the second step is analyzing the text at the sentence level and word level which is divided into topicalization, agency, deletion or omission, insinuation, connotation, register, and modality. Topicalization figures the topic or main idea contained in each paragraph or several paragraphs at once that have the same topic. In the end, it is known in more detail about the speaker’s view in each paragraph. Agency discusses the participants in the speech, it tells who the main participants and how their role in the speech. Deletion or omission represents the additions that are included in the spoken utterances or sentences. It is usually done to reinforce the intent. Consequently, it can be seen that how the use of language by the speaker is right or not. Insinuation describes about the things that when it is said contain elements of justification. The result can be known how the language and ideology which are used. Connotation reflects the words in the form of expression that sounds or looks unusual. So, language, power and ideology more or less can be seen in its description. The last is modality, it describes about the strength of the language used. The third step is analyzing the text in contextual interpretation. This is a summary of the overall SBYs speech about how language, power, and ideology that is used. The interpretation is also based on the results from the two previous analyses.
