The research in this paper examines the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic features of factive assertives in political speeches by U.S. President Barack Obama and identifies his strategies of using factive assertives. This research is a qualitative study based on the framework of speech act, epistemic modality and appraisal theory. It was carried out as a descriptive analysis. The corpus of 713 samples gathered from 50 most recent and well-known speeches was employed to investigate the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic characteristics of factive assertives in expressing the speaker’s assertion to the truth value of proposition.

Consequently, Obama’s patterns of using factive assertive were identified and summarize into general strategies. Syntactic characteristics discussed in this paper mentions the tenses and structural position of factive complements, sequences of tenses, the structure and properties of factive complements and the phenomena of complementizer deletion. Semantic and pragmatic features are classified and analyzed based on a main resource of appraisal theory, Engagement. The most significant finding of the study, the strategies of using factive asserives, are presented. The study finds out that Barack Omaba has a clear purposes when using each type of factive assertive predicates. Finally, some suggestions to improving oratory drawn from the findings are proposed to help English speakers use factive assertives effectively in speechmaking. factive assertives in political speeches by u.s. president barack obama factive assertives in political speeches president barack obama Ngũ Thiện Hùng supervisor LNN UDN50 LNN English 420.901 NG-L available Error 5001 Not defined in file expand_doc_bib_avail. 1 0 N 0 AN 1 A study of factive assertives in political speeches by u.s. president barack obama / Library of UFL VIEW http://catalog.udn.vn:80/F?func=service&doc_library=UDN01&local_base=UDN01&doc_number=000035486&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA TOMTAT_000011537.pdf pdf 000391015 20210801 NTMTHI A study of factive assertives in political speeches by u.s. president barack obama / Library of UFL VIEW http://catalog.udn.vn:80/F?func=service&doc_library=UDN01&local_base=UDN01&doc_number=000035486&sequence=000002&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA LUANVAN_000011539.pdf pdf 001114946 20210801 NTMTHI From the UDN01 UDN50 LNN English 420.901 NG-L available Error 5001 Not defined in file expand_doc_bib_avail. 1 0 N 0 AN 1 Monograph Printed language A study of factive assertives in political speeches by u.s. president barack obama / Library of UFL VIEW http://catalog.udn.vn:80/F?func=service&doc_library=UDN01&local_base=UDN01&doc_number=000035486&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA TOMTAT_000011537.pdf pdf 000391015 20210801 NTMTHI A study of factive assertives in political speeches by u.s. president barack obama / Library of UFL VIEW http://catalog.udn.vn:80/F?func=service&doc_library=UDN01&local_base=UDN01&doc_number=000035486&sequence=000002&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA LUANVAN_000011539.pdf pdf 001114946 20210801 NTMTHI Mạng thư viện Đại học Đà Nẵng
