An Analysis Of Discourse Markers In The Speeches Of The 6th And 7th Presidents Of The Republic Of Indonesia
Discourse markers have become an important part of communication since their
function as one of the interaction features in achieving a coherent discourse. They
can function as indicators of the discourse structure by giving an initial signal to a
new topic and marking the speaker's attitude towards what has been said. Therefore,
discourse markers become an interesting topic to be used as a study. This study
aims to investigate the type of discourse markers in Indonesian Presidential
speeches by using the theory of Fraser (1996, 2005). The researcher used
descriptive qualitative method since it was conducted to have deep understanding
of the use of discourse markers, where the expected outcome of this research is the
description of the discourse markers in Indonesian Presidential speeches. In
analyzing the data, the researcher analyzed without any intervention or
manipulation. The researcher analyzed the data into several steps; collecting the
utterances in the data, analyzing the data by using the theory of Fraser (1996, 2005),
classifying them based on the types of discourse markers into several tables, and
concluding the result of the study based on the discussion. The results of the study
showed that the total of discourse markers in 6 speech scripts is 50. Fifteen data of
contrastive markers, thirteen elaborative markers, ten temporal markers, six
deference markes, five deference markers, and one assessment marker. For future
researchers, considering the situation of discourse marker production might
produce more different findings. Discourse markers are not only produced by
Presidents in public speeches, presidents can also produce discourse markers when
they are international interviews or international meetings. Futhermore, choosing a
theory of discourse markers will affect the diversity of findings and types of
discourse markers. You may use the theory of Halliday and Hassan (1976) which
states that discourse markers have several different types.
