PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale Barack Hussein Obama, the Illinois Senator, was elected the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday, November, 2008, ―sweeping away the last racial barrier in politics with ease as the country chose him as its first black chief executive‖ (The New York Times, 4, November, 2004) The Guardian commented: ―What is not open to doubt is that Mr Obama's win is a milestone in America's racial and cultural evolution.‖ (The Guardian, Wednesday November 2008, italics mine) Obama's campaign was marked by his eloquent speeches, passionate supporters and worldwide fanfare for the Democratic candidate In speech after speech, Barack Obama ―fired up‖ millions of enthusiastic supporters with his compelling rhetoric and charismatic presence However, during his campaign, Obama had to face a fraught moment: while his campaign was conducted to transcend the issue of race and try to build a coalition of racial and ethnic groups favoring change, his longtime pastor Jeremiah Wright declared that ―God damn America‖ for its mistreatment of blacks and that the country had provoked the September, 11, 2001 attacks The incendiary excerpts of Wright’s sermons dominated airwaves and generated great anger among white Americans, threatening to undermine Obama’s promise to bind up racial and political divisions Being between the devil and the deep blue sea, Obama decided to give a speech His campaign said that he wrote the speech himself overnight two days before he delivered it His race speech ―A more perfect union‖ on Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 in Philadelphia is considered historic by the American mass media and drew praise of American people and the political spectrum The speech electrified the whole America and stimulated millions of comments on televisions, radio talk shows, newspapers, websites, blogs, and discussions in offices, academic institutions and churches all over America Commentators employed a lot of words to describe the speech: ―eloquent, brilliant, exemplary, sweeping, stirring, moving, passionate, emotional, courageous, gutsy, sophisticated, exceptional, breathtakingly z

unconventional, etc‖ The speech tactfully ―rescued‖ Obama from the scandal, stably consolidated his position as a heavy candidate for presidency, and more importantly, opened up a national conversation about race – a very sensitive topic that people only ―tiptoe‖ around It did help him lift up the racial barrier on the way to obtain the highest powerful position as the chief commander of the United States of America Therefore, the speech proves to be worthy of close study to find out the power of the language by Barack Obama - a black politician - in the fight against racism and inequality The study is an attempt to clarify why the speech was such a success, how Obama handled his language to obtain power and contribute significantly to change social reality The study is an effort to give an explanation to the unbelievable success of the Illinois Senator in the USA society from linguistic point of view, under the light of Critical Discourse Analysis Scope of the study The analysis of Barack Obama’s race speech is restricted in verbal aspects of the speech and some characteristics of the United States context at the time the speech was given Paralinguistic factors are also important in the effect of a discourse, but they exceed the limits of an M.A thesis Hence, these factors are excluded The speech is quite long; it contains 4,909 words and lasts 37 minutes Therefore, I just investigate the most salient linguistic aspects of the speech such as vocabulary, some grammatical properties (transitivity, pronouns, modality), textual features (macro-structure, rhetoric techniques) and some pragmatic traits Themes and mood are not examined Aims of the study The proposed study serves the following aims: - First, to examine the political discourse Barack Obama’s race speech from CDA perspectives with a view to uncovering how he exercises ideology and obtains his power, how he persuades people through his language use, what has made the speech great and what the relations between Obama’s individual language and the USA collective language are z

- Second, to promote critical thinking of language users and learners in approaching political discourse by raising their awareness the role of language - a sharp weapon in power and ideology struggles to create social changes In order to achieve these aims, the research questions are: How are Obama’s power and ideology manifested in terms of linguistic features such as lexicon, grammar, macro-structure, pragmatic properties and rhetoric techniques? How can these linguistic features contribute to the eloquence of the speech? What are the relations between the production and interpretation of the discourse in terms of situational context and intertextual context? What are the relationships of Obama’s invidual language and the collectival language? How is the speech constituted by social structures? And what are the effects of the speech on social structures? Methodology Approach and methods This study is attached to Fairclough's approach with the reason that his analytical framework founded on SFL has been one of the most comprehensive frameworks of CDA It covers in details three levels of discourse analysis: Description, Interpretation and Explanation This framework will be described more clearly in Part B, Chapter 1, section 1.4 Fairclough’s analytical framework When carrying out Fairclough’s three stages, I resort to both quantitative and qualitative methods, with the dominance of the later In Description stage, these two methods will be carried out to examine some linguistic features and their use in the speech Quantitative method will be used to analyze linguistic features such as the vocabulary, the pronouns, processes etc in terms of quantity Qualitative method will be employed to assess the effects of such linguistic features to express power, ideology and create the persuasiveness of the speech In Interpretation stage, qualitative method will be applied to socio-cultural, historical factors analysis and pragmatic analysis in order to clarify the social, historical and cultural relations between Obama and the contemporary U.S society, how these relations z

influence the creation and reception of the discourse In Explanation stage, qualitative method will also be made use of to find out how the discourse is determined by society and what influences the speech might have on Obama invidually and the US society in general Data collection Firstly, the race speech is collected from the website www.obamaspeeches.com Next, some of Obama’s previous speeches are collected They are The Keynote Address at the Democratic National Convention 2004 and Announcement for President, February 2007 The former marked the first appearance of Obama as a rising star on the political stage The latter is related to the content of the analyzed discourse Particularly, it is said that Obama’s language echoes many orators in the past, so some famous speeches are selected: I have a dream (Martin Luther King), the Cooper Union Speech and the Gettysburg Address (Abraham Lincoln), the Address to a Greater Houston (John F Kennedy) Lastly, some related online articles are also compiled from Internet to get more insight in the production and interpretation of the text, as well as evaluate the effects of the speech on social processes They are articles from the most popular websites such as The Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, etc Data analysis First of all, the major features of context are provided so that the readers can understand more about the appearance of the speech Then, the speech will be analyzed in three stages In Description stage, the speech will be interpreted in terms of discoursal features, which include lexical, grammatical characteristics, macro-structure and rhetoric techniques In Interpretation stage, the speech will be investigated in terms of situational context and intertextual context Situational context will be looked at from social, cultural, and historical features With regard to intertextual context, the race speech will be put in the links with some of Obama’s previous related speeches and other speeches by Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King and John Kennedy Besides, pragmatic analysis will reveal how effectively Obama employs presuppositions and speech acts to convey his ideology and messages to the audience In Explanation stage, the impacts of the discourse on American society in terms of the fight against racism and the securing Obama’s power will be discussed z

XXXIII APPENDIX Barack Obama's Announcement for President Springfield, IL | February 10, 2007 Let me begin by saying thanks to all you who've traveled, from far and wide, to brave the cold today We all made this journey for a reason It's humbling, but in my heart I know you didn't come here just for me, you came here because you believe in what this country can be In the face of war, you believe there can be peace In the face of despair, you believe there can be hope In the face of a politics that's shut you out, that's told you to settle, that's divided us for too long, you believe we can be one people, reaching for what's possible, building that more perfect union That's the journey we're on today But let me tell you how I came to be here As most of you know, I am not a native of this great state I moved to Illinois over two decades ago I was a young man then, just a year out of college; I knew no one in Chicago, was without money or family connections But a group of churches had offered me a job as a community organizer for $13,000 a year And I accepted the job, sight unseen, motivated then by a single, simple, powerful idea - that I might play a small part in building a better America My work took me to some of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods I joined with pastors and lay-people to deal with communities that had been ravaged by plant closings I saw that the problems people faced weren't simply local in nature - that the decision to close a steel mill was made by distant executives; that the lack of textbooks and computers in schools could be traced to the skewed priorities of politicians a thousand miles away; and that when a child turns to violence, there's a hole in his heart no government alone can fill It was in these neighborhoods that I received the best education I ever had, and where I learned the true meaning of my Christian faith After three years of this work, I went to law school, because I wanted to understand how the law should work for those in need I became a civil rights lawyer, and taught constitutional law, and after a time, I came to understand that our cherished rights of liberty and equality depend on the active participation of an awakened electorate It was with these ideas in mind that I arrived in this capital city as a state Senator It was here, in Springfield, where I saw all that is America converge - farmers and teachers, businessmen and laborers, all of them with a story to tell, all of them seeking a seat at the table, all of them clamoring to be heard I made lasting friendships here - friends that I see in the audience today It was here we learned to disagree without being disagreeable - that it's possible to compromise so long as you know those principles that can never be compromised; and that so long as we're willing to listen to each other, we can assume the best in people instead of the worst That's why we were able to reform a death penalty system that was broken That's why we were able to give health insurance to children in need That's why we made the tax system more fair and just for working families, and that's why we passed ethics reforms that the cynics said could never, ever be passed It was here, in Springfield, where North, South, East and West come together that I was reminded of the essential decency of the American people - where I came to believe that through this decency, we can build a more hopeful America And that is why, in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a divided house to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still, I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States I recognize there is a certain presumptuousness - a certain audacity - to this announcement I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change The genius of our founders is that they designed a system of government that can be changed And we should take heart, because we've changed this country before In the face of tyranny, a band of patriots brought an Empire to its knees In the face of secession, we unified a

XXXIV the west, we landed a man on the moon, and we heard a King's call to let justice roll down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream Each and every time, a new generation has risen up and done what's needed to be done Today we are called once more - and it is time for our generation to answer that call For that is our unyielding faith - that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it That's what Abraham Lincoln understood He had his doubts He had his defeats He had his setbacks But through his will and his words, he moved a nation and helped free a people It is because of the millions who rallied to his cause that we are no longer divided, North and South, slave and free It is because men and women of every race, from every walk of life, continued to march for freedom long after Lincoln was laid to rest, that today we have the chance to face the challenges of this millennium together, as one people - as Americans All of us know what those challenges are today - a war with no end, a dependence on oil that threatens our future, schools where too many children aren't learning, and families struggling paycheck to paycheck despite working as hard as they can We know the challenges We've heard them We've talked about them for years What's stopped us from meeting these challenges is not the absence of sound policies and sensible plans What's stopped us is the failure of leadership, the smallness of our politics - the ease with which we're distracted by the petty and trivial, our chronic avoidance of tough decisions, our preference for scoring cheap political points instead of rolling up our sleeves and building a working consensus to tackle big problems For the last six years we've been told that our mounting debts don't matter, we've been told that the anxiety Americans feel about rising health care costs and stagnant wages are an illusion, we've been told that climate change is a hoax, and that tough talk and an ill-conceived war can replace diplomacy, and strategy, and foresight And when all else fails, when Katrina happens, or the death toll in Iraq mounts, we've been told that our crises are somebody else's fault We're distracted from our real failures, and told to blame the other party, or gay people, or immigrants And as people have looked away in disillusionment and frustration, we know what's filled the void The cynics, and the lobbyists, and the special interests who've turned our government into a game only they can afford to play They write the checks and you get stuck with the bills, they get the access while you get to write a letter, they think they own this government, but we're here today to take it back The time for that politics is over It's time to turn the page We've made some progress already I was proud to help lead the fight in Congress that led to the most sweeping ethics reform since Watergate But Washington has a long way to go And it won't be easy That's why we'll have to set priorities We'll have to make hard choices And although government will play a crucial role in bringing about the changes we need, more money and programs alone will not get us where we need to go Each of us, in our own lives, will have to accept responsibility - for instilling an ethic of achievement in our children, for adapting to a more competitive economy, for strengthening our communities, and sharing some measure of sacrifice So let us begin Let us begin this hard work together Let us transform this nation Let us be the generation that reshapes our economy to compete in the digital age Let's set high standards for our schools and give them the resources they need to succeed Let's recruit a new army of teachers, and give them better pay and more support in exchange for more accountability Let's make college more affordable, and let's invest in scientific research, and let's lay down broadband lines through the heart of inner cities and rural towns all across America And as our economy changes, let's be the generation that ensures our nation's workers are sharing in our prosperity Let's protect the hard-earned benefits their companies have promised Let's make it possible for hardworking Americans to save for retirement And let's allow our unions and their organizers to lift up this country's middle-class again Let's be the generation that ends poverty in America Every single person willing to work should be able to get job training that leads to a job, and earn a living wage that can pay the bills, and afford child care so their kids have a safe place to go when they work Let's this Let's be the generation that finally tackles our health care crisis We can control costs by focusing on prevention, by providing better treatment to the chronically ill, and using technology to cut the bureaucracy Let's be the generation that says right here, right now, that we will have universal health care in America by the end of the next president's first term Let's be the generation that finally frees America from the tyranny of oil We can harness homegrown, alternative fuels like ethanol and spur the production of more fuel-efficient cars We can set up a system for capping greenhouse z
