Abstract

This research was focused on the types of coordinate conjunction and the functions of the most type of coordinate conjunction found on the Barack Obama’s speech. This research was applied by using descriptive qualitative method. Barack Obama was the subject of this study. The source of data in this research was the scripted of Barack Obama’s first victory speech. All of the words, the phrases and/or the sentences consisting coordinate conjunctions appeared in the speech were the data in this study. The researcher was the primary instrument of the study supported by the secondary instrument called table analysis. The result showed that the most type of coordinate conjunction was ‘and’ consisting 113 items of coordinate conjunction uttered by Obama (83.09%). Meanwhile, the functions of the most coordinate conjunctions were categorized into three parts called (1) conjunctions joining words; (2) conjunctions joining groups of word; and (3) conjunctions joining parts of compound sentence. The researcher pointed out suggestions to 1) English teachers to provide clear understanding regarding the coordinate conjunction to their students, 2) students to implement their understanding in learning process, and 3) other researchers to explore the implementation of the types of conjunctions and their functions.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study aimed to analyze the types and functions of coordinate conjunctions in Barack Obama’s first victory speech delivered at Grant Park, Chicago. Utilizing a scripted transcript of the speech as the primary data source, the research meticulously identified instances where coordinate conjunctions appeared in words, phrases, or sentences. The study revealed that the most frequently used type of coordinate conjunction was ‘and’, which accounted for 113 instances (83.09%) of all occurrences. These conjunctions predominantly served to join individual words, link groups of words, and connect parts within compound sentences. The implications of the findings are twofold: first, English educators are encouraged to prioritize providing clear explanations of conjunctions to enhance students’ grammatical proficiency. Understanding how conjunctions function in speech can significantly improve students’ ability to construct coherent sentences and express ideas effectively. Second, students are urged to actively apply their knowledge of conjunctions during their learning processes to reinforce their language skills. By practicing the identification and usage of conjunctions in both spoken and written contexts, students can develop greater fluency and accuracy in their communication. Furthermore, the study suggests avenues for future research to explore the application and functions of different types of conjunctions across various discourse contexts. This exploration could deepen our understanding of how conjunctions contribute to the structure and coherence of language, thereby enriching language education practices and advancing linguistic research. Overall, this research contributes to both theoretical insights into speech analysis and practical implications for language teaching and learning.
