Thus, the writer is interested in analyzing the interactional discourse markers used in motivational speech in TED talks by comparing the difference between male and female speakers. The data consists of two corpora of TED motivational speeches delivered by male and female speakers with the total of 43160 tokens of female speaker corpus and 51873 tokens of male speaker corpus. The data is analyzed by using Hyland’s stance and engagement features to identify both speakers and audience point of view in the speech. The findings show that female speakers tend to use more of both stance and engagement features than male speakers. It is shown that female speakers tend to be more expressive in composing their speech in order to create an impressive and communicative presentation. Meanwhile, male speakers tend to use more explicit and direct markers in their speech to engage with the audience and focus on delivering the topic and material instead.]]>

<![CDATA[Code-mixing, which is the use of two or more languages that are mixed in one utterance, is commonly practiced by bilingual or multilingual people. Then, this study aims to find out the types and the reasons for code-mixing performed by Gita Savitri Devi, a content creator, in one of her videos on YouTube channel entitled "Plis Stop Nyebarin Hoaks!! Beropini Eps. .55". Qualitative descriptive method is used to conduct this study, and the data are analyzed using Hoffman’s theory (1991). The results of this study indicate that there are three types of code-mixing that are found in the video, namely intra sentential code-mixing, intra lexical code-mixing and involving a change of pronunciation. Furthermore, the writers also find three reasons why code-mixing is utilized, among others are: (1) talking about a particular topic; (2) being empathetic or emotional about something; and (3) repetition used for clarification. The existence of code-mixing in our daily life is able to facilitate us to language learning. However, there are still some mistakes in using the language such as dictions and ungrammatical structure. Therefore, we have to be careful in using the language and adjust it with the society to avoid miscommunication.]]>

These aspects have successfully presented the cultural items from SL into TL and effectively maintained cultural items in the SL by not translating the items in the TL.]]>
