SPEECH AS A MIRROR OF HUMAN EMOTIONS”: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF TURKISH PRESIDENT RECEP TAYYIB ERDOGAN’S SPEECH CALLING FOR GAZA CEASE FIRE

Abstract

The research paper shows the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of the recent orator delivers on May 29, 2024, on the House Floor by Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan, in which he chastised the United States and Europe for their inaction on the Gaza War. Fairclough's three dimensions theory is used as a theoretical basis for this. Textual analysis, social political analysis, and discursive analysis are these dimensions. It uses a qualitative methodology. The sample has taken from Turk President Recep Tayyib Erdogan's arbitrary posted YouTube speech. Speech analysis reveals that the orator employed the pronouns "I" and "We" to convince the audience that he is on their side and that he is trying to win them over. During his speech, the speaker used a variety of language devices to illustrate the brutality of Benjamin Netanyahu's administration, including cohesiveness, modality, pronouns, and vocabulary. It is clear from the results that the speaker examined the power inside and underneath the discourse in his speech.
