Abstract

This study uses a qualitative research approach to examine the illocutionary acts in Barack Obama's 2008 victory speech. The study's data, which focuses on the connection between theory and research, comprises spoken and written words. The researchers employ an observational strategy and note-taking technique to collect data from the speech. The data analysis uses an identification procedure that involves watching and listening to the video and audio to pinpoint the different illocutionary acts that Obama has used. Based on Searle's theory, the researchers categorize the transcriptions and find 21 illocutionary acts, such as directive, commissive, declarative, expressive, and representative. These results demonstrate that Obama's speech contained two directive acts, two commissive acts, five representative acts, six expressive acts, and six declarative acts. This study adds to our knowledge of how theories are revived through qualitative research and offers insightful information on the dynamics of illocutionary acts in speech. The findings provide additional insight into Obama's communication tactics and his rhetorical devices in his victory address. Subsequent investigations in this field may examine the influence and efficacy of illocutionary actions in political dialogue.

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.
