An Analysis of Joko Widodo's Speech Style at the Ecosperity Week Singapore 2023
Keywords:
speech style, discourse analysis, Joko Widodo, Jokowi's speechAbstract
This study delves into the speech patterns of Joko Widodo, Indonesia's President, during his speech at the Ecosperity Week Singapore 2023. It aims to analyze Mr. Jokowi’s speech style used in that event. Employing qualitative design, the study focuses on analyzing the speech style based on Joos‘ theory which is divided into five styles (frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate style). The findings unveil Mr. Jokowi's speech style where he used three of five styles. In his speech at the Ecosperity Week, Mr. Jokowi used formal, consultative, and casual style. Frozen was not found because it is only used in sacred events such as ceremonies and religious. Then, intimate was not found because it is only used for intimate circles such as family and love; while Mr. Jokowi’s position as the president had given a speech at an international event. This means that his speeches exhibit a balance of formality (formal style), semi-formal (consultative style, and informality (casual style). This analysis contributes to a deeper comprehension of Mr. Jokowi’s speech style as the President of Indonesia. Based on this research, it is suggested that future researchers find different speeches from other public figures in Indonesia. Therefore, more people will learn about speech style from Indonesian public figures from different statues and backgrounds.
