Abstract

The paper aimed at analyzing speech function analysis used in the United Nations speech video about youth and self-acceptance delivered by Kim Namjoon of BTS. Four basic speech functions developed by Halliday (1994) was adopted to analyze the data. The paper employed descriptive qualitative research design where the data were taken from official YouTube channel of UNICEF in the form of video and were well transcribed. The data were collected using primary and secondary data. The primary data were found in official YouTube channel of UNICEF, meanwhile, the secondary data were from other references like e-book, article, and journal related to the topic. The data were analyzed by watching the speech, reading the transcript, identifying and classifying the speech function, then intrepreting the data analyze in detail. The first findings revealed that statement was the dominant type of speech function with the total number of 47 utterances. The second result showed that the reasons in realization of speech function were to describe about himself with statement which caused the audience related to what he was talking about; to give positive messages with command to encourage people around the world to speak up no matter who they are; to offer everyone to find their voices so that people around the world can listen to their stories; to request some great questions to the audience. This paper can be an alternative teaching especially speech function, so the students can get better understanding how speech function are realized especially speech delivered by K-pop superstar as youth representative.
