Abstract

This qualitative research study examines the turn-taking methods utilized during the presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, with a focus on utterances and written words. Employing an observational approach (Sudaryanto, 2015), data were collected by closely observing the debate and recording pertinent remarks through note-taking. Several steps were followed in data collection, including initial observation of the debate, transcription of the debate script, and highlighting remarks indicative of turn-taking strategies as proposed by Stenström (1984). Data analysis followed the identification method outlined by Creswell and Poth (2014), involving multiple viewings of the debate video to comprehend the turn-taking methods and categorize the transcriptions to denote their application. The study identified 29 turn-taking strategies based on Stenström's (1984) theory, categorized into three groups: initiating the turn (starting up, taking over, and interrupting), maintaining the turn (utilizing filled pauses, lexical repetition, and introducing new topics), and relinquishing the turn (prompting, appealing, and conceding). These findings offer valuable insights into communication strategies within high-stakes political debates and contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between theory and qualitative research.

Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive research was to identify the expressive illocutionary acts and the functions theorized by Searle & Vanderveken and Leech in film “Captain America the First Avenger”. An observational method was used in this study's data collection process, which involved watching the film. Since it was not a direct participant in the conversation, practical technique used in this research was non-participant technique. This study employed data reduction to reduce redundancy in data analysis and the pragmatic identity method in the equalizing procedure. In terms of how the research findings were presented, it used an informal method that was connected to the words and sentences used to describe the findings. Thirteen expressive illocutionary acts were found. The actions include welcome, lament, praise, boast, protest, condole, apologize, congratulate, thank, complain, complement, deplore, and greet. The act of complain was the dominant act because the characters frequently display sentiments of unease, melancholy, and disappointment to their conversation partners. The research served four functions, thus are convivial, collaborative, competitive, and conflictive. Therefore, the characters' most common function was convivial. The reason is that the things they said had social goals in them, such as saying hello, welcoming, thanking, and celebrating.

Abstract

This phonological research discusses the connected speech in spoken English. The purpose of this study is to describe the patterns of connected speech in American English and British English. The data were collected by using observation method and the technique used is note-taking. Then, the data were analyzed by using phonetic articulatory identity method. The theory used Lass’ theory related to the pronunciation corresponding to connected speech. Furthermore, the results of data analysis were presented by using descriptive narrative. The results of the study might be proposed to the important material for English Pronunciation course. The finding reveals that the connected speech processes in American English are not always the same as those in British English. The connected speech process in British English is more complicated than it in American English. However, both Englishes apply linking in terms of catenation, liaison, and gemination, elision and coalescence, and assimilation. There is a phenomenon of connected speech which is not part of any theory; [sɪŋɡɔːwɪˈtɜːn] and [ʧeɪn-j-ɛniˈmɔː].
