Abstract

Diction is the important thing to be considered when people want to get the successful communication. It refers to the right choices of the words that exactly represent what the speaker wants to say. This research is aimed to investigate Barack Obama’s diction through his first inaugural speech in 2009. In doing this goal, two research questions are formulated; they are (1) How is the diction in Barack Obama’s 2009 inaugural speech?; and (2) How does the diction in Barack Obama’s 2009 inaugural speech affect the audiences? It is a qualitative descriptive research. The writer applies the theory of diction, figurative language and rhetorical devices. The result of this research shows that Obama often uses the connotative words in his speech. Further, Obama also uses some figurative languages and rhetorical devices to make his speech more attractive and the message of his speech be accepted well by the audiences. The use of Obama’s special diction gives effect toward the audience. The effects are the audiences get more understanding since Obama’s metaphorical words give the emphasis in his speech; the audience can be aware of the meaning of the sentence and get the lesson from it without being dictated; and the they can accept the real message without being offended.
