CDA is the study of the language used to reveal how the discursive sources
of power, dominance, inequality, and bias are maintained in the social, political,
and historical context. Thus, a political speech of the president is one of the
discourse in the political context. The example is the victory speech delivered
by Joe Biden on November 7, 2020. This speech is selected as the research
object in order to examine how power and dominance are maintained in this
context. The first research objective is to scrutinize the linguistic features and
the intentions in Joe Biden's victory speech. Secondly, it aims to prove how the
American Dream manifested in Joe Biden's victory speech. The third purpose is
to reveal the reason for using the American Dream by exploring the context at
that time.This research uses Van Dijk’s CDA approach to reach the research
objectives. This research uses qualitative methods and descriptive techniques to
describe and analyze data. The Stages of documentation technique (Blaxter and
Tight, 1996:141) are used to conduct the data collection. The steps are
download and reading the script, then coding and classifying the data. The data
analysis steps are identifying the data based on Van Dijk’s CDA stages,
classifying and analyzing the data, then making a conclusion.
The first is text analysis stage. Macrostructure results show there are 4 data
which consist of themes and subthemes in this speech. Superstructure results
show there are 18 data which consist of opening, intentions, persuasions, goals,
and closing. Then, microstructure results show 468 data which consist of
syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, stylistic style, and rhetoric acts.
Secondly, this research found 8 data of socio-cognitive elements; motional
attachment, mind control, mitigating evidence, glorification of US, and the
liberal ideology of victory speech. The last, this research concludes that the US
condition in the presidential election 2020 is related to the reason for using
American Dream in the speech. | en_US |
