Abstract

This study focused on reviewing and analyzing the types of speech errors, comparing the frequency of such errors, and examining the reasons behind speech errors, as made by former President of the United States Donald Trump (DT) and Vice President Kamala Harris (KH) in the 2024 presidential election debate. Theory of speech error by Clark and Clark (1977) is used as the main guidance in the analysis. The debate, entitled "Harris vs Trump in the ABC News 2024 Presidential Debate", lasted 90 minutes. This study used a qualitative approach, this study analyzed the video of DT and KH, examining words, phrases, and sentences by transcribing their speeches. The results showed that DT committed more speech errors in total but less in types, while KH committed more types of speech errors and less errors in total. The causes of these speech errors were due to social factors, including anxiety and social pressure during the debate. Based on the amount of speech errors, KH sounds more promising than DT and has bigger possibilities to attract votes in the upcoming election.

Abstract

Corpus stylistics, which involves the analysis of electronic archives of written material, facilitates the understanding of connections between words. This research aims to provide linguistic evidence regarding the genre of Colleen Hoover's popular fiction, It Ends with Us, specifically, to ascertain whether it is a pure romance novel or incorporates aspects of literary realism. A descriptive qualitative approach, grounded in Mahlberg's (2013) corpus stylistics theory, is employed. The primary data for analysis are the four most frequently occurring verbs identified using AntConc. The collocations associated with each verb are subsequently categorized into "attempts to romanticize" or "narrations of reality" to determine the prevailing stylistic strategy. The research demonstrates that the novel utilizes a greater proportion of "realistic" words compared to "romantic" words, thereby indicating its alignment with literary realism. The narrative modifications are intended to heighten the story's engagement, rather than to romanticize domestic abuse or toxic relationships.
