Abstract

This research aims to analyze Joe Biden's speech on the Israel-Hamas Conflict through Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The study seeks to describe linguistic aspects, analyze discourse practice, and explore sociocultural practice used in Joe Biden's speech to respond to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
This qualitative research examines texts in sentences, clauses, phrases, and others in Joe Biden's speech. The researcher used the methods of data collection and analysis based on Sugiyono, compiled them systematically, and interpreted them qualitatively. The analysis uses Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model, which focuses on text, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice.
The results are as follows: (1) Textual analysis reveals that there are vocabulary (overwording, synonymy, antonymy, hyponym), grammar (active voice, passive voice, positive sentence, negative sentence, declarative sentence, imperative sentence, grammatical question, pronoun, modality), and text structure. The researcher presented an analysis of the text structure and found that Biden used a formal tone to discuss serious topics. The researcher found that Joe Biden's speech created clear, emotional messages that unite listeners regarding common goals and perspectives. (2) From the perspective of Discourse Practice (production, distribution, consumption), the text of the speech was delivered by the President of the United States, Joe Biden. The speech was broadcast live on October 10, 2023, at the White House, Washington DC, United States. The speech uses emotional language so that it is designed to trigger a deep emotional response in the listener. This creates a strong empathy bond between the speech's message and the listener. (3) The last is Sociocultural Practice (social determinant, ideology, effect). The researcher found that the speech delivered by Joe Biden was very relevant to the situation when the speech was delivered. Joe Biden delivered this speech three days after the Hamas attack on Israel. Joe Biden also reinforced the ideology that international law and democratic principles are moral standards that must be followed. This speech reflects the national security ideology of the United States, where Israel's security is seen as an integral part of the security of America and its allies.
