Abstract

This thesis entitled “Critical Discourse Analysis of Barack Obama Speech”. The Critical Discourse Analysis is often applied to analyze political discourse including the public speech. The analysis of this thesis based on theory of CDA and its analysis methods which were represented by Thomas N.Huckin. Whereas the discussion used descriptive qualitative research method which deals with data that are in the form of word, rather than statistics and attempts to arrive at a rich description of something systematically. It starts by analyzing some features in the text as a whole. Then, it is continued by analyzing some features in sentence-level and word-level. Since it is a critical discourse, therefore those features are analyzed critically. In a fact, it is found the deficiency in analyzing each features based on speech of Obama. The last is by doing contextual interpretation; it is summarized about what language expression is used by Obama to uncover power, and ideology. The interpretation is also based on the results from the two previous analysis. The result shows that CDA can explore the relationships among language, power, and ideology. Through the language used, it can be known the strength of power and the purpose of the speaker, which the power is strongly felt and the ideology is clearly seen as well as understandable.
