Abstract

The presence of cohesive devices in speech plays a crucial role in representing the functioning of language. Beyond enhancing the effectiveness of written communication, cohesive devices guide listeners into the realm of context, fostering a shared understanding of meaning. This research focuses on analyzing grammatical and lexical cohesions in Donald Trump's inauguration speech from the 2016 United States presidential election, which took place on January 20th, 2017. The objective of the study is to explore the representation of both grammatical and lexical cohesions. A qualitative method was employed, and data were extracted from pauses in Trump's speech, specifically noting cohesive devices. The findings reveal that grammatical cohesion encompasses references, substitutions, ellipsis, and conjunctions. Lexical cohesions identified include repetition, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, meronymy, and collocation. Repetition was observed in 29 pauses, substitutions in 6 pauses, ellipsis in 8 pauses, and conjunctions in 31 pauses. Regarding lexical cohesion, the study identified repetition in 32 pauses, synonymy in 10 pauses, antonymy in 5 pauses, hyponymy in 3 pauses, meronymy in 2 pauses, and collocation in 6 pauses. However, it was noted that incohesive instances occurred in the case of conjunctions, potentially influenced by the situational or contextual factors. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the diverse cohesive devices employed in Trump's inauguration speech, emphasizing the significance of context in understanding language use.  Keywords: cohesive device, conjunctions, ellipsis, grammatical cohesion, lexical cohesion, substitutions

Abstract

The development of digital technology allows individuals to form and construct their virtual identities on social media. This study aims to analyze the influence of virtual self and communication style on self-image on social media. This research uses quantitative methods, this research involves 100 respondents. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to test the relationship between these variables. The data analysis techniques used include descriptive statistics to describe the characteristics of respondents and patterns of social media use, normality test or One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test to ensure residuals are normally distributed, multicollinearity test through Tolerance and Variance Inflation Factor to ensure there is no high relationship between independent variables, and heteroscedasticity test or Glejser Test to detect residual variations that are not constant. The results showed that virtual self has a significant influence on self-image (p-value <0.001), which indicates that the stronger individuals build their virtual identity, the greater the influence on self-image on social media. In contrast, communication style did not show a significant effect (p-value = 0.160). The Glejser test indicated heteroscedasticity in the model (p-value = 0.029), so the robust standard errors method is recommended to improve the accuracy of model estimation. The findings confirm that in the digital era, self-image is more influenced by the construction of virtual identities than the communication patterns used. This research contributes to the study of digital communication and its implications for individuals in managing their digital identities more authentically and in line with social reality.
