Abstract

Claiming that “this may be the most important speech I’ve ever made,” this speech was one of the most noteworthy turning points of the 2020 United States presidential election. This paper aims at analyzing Trump’s speech on voter fraud claims that was released on December 2, 2020 from a critical discourse perspective. This descriptive qualitative research describes and investigates the main features, the main points of concern, and the objectives tried to achieve by delivering the speech. The result of the study shows that the main features of Trump’s political discourse include simplicity, repetition, parataxis, frames, deictics, hyperboles, inarticulation, and hearsay evidence. These features reflect Trump’s personality as well as his supporters’ characteristics. Regarding the main points of the discourse, there are several issues, including pandemic, swing states, mail-in ballots, and rigged system, that Trump tries to convey. There are also further implications or objectives that Trump tries to achieve by releasing the speech: keeping loyal supporters and avoiding prosecution.

Abstract

This research examines strategic monolingualism as an accommodation strategy in global technology keynotes, analyzing thirty presentations from Apple, Google, and Samsung (2020–2024). Research has shown that code-switching is a good way to find a balance between global and local needs. However, tech companies only use English to reach multilingual audiences, which is strange. How do monolingual presentations reach a global audience without using different languages? Quantitative analysis shows that there is a more direct address, more inclusive pronouns, and less hedging, which creates corporate certainty. Qualitative analysis indicates that multimodal resources—such as live demonstrations, accessibility features, cultural framing, and synchronized visuals—serve as meaning-making alternatives (semiotic substitution) to code-switching. Instead of switching languages, businesses switch between different ways of communicating (visual, verbal, musical) to get things done. Drawing from Communication Accommodation Theory, Politeness Theory, and Multimodal Discourse Analysis, the study identifies strategic monolingualism as a transition wherein various modes collaborate to engage diverse audiences, supplanting conventional bilingual accommodation. This pattern—linguistic homogeneity facilitating semiotic heterogeneity—redefines accommodation beyond code-switching frameworks. The results help teachers of English for Specific Purposes by showing that multimodal literacy is important for professional communication. They also help business people who need to balance brand consistency with global engagement by giving them a Multimodal Accommodation Framework.
