Crystal and Davy (1969) said that similar to conversation in daily
situation, each person uses different style to speak in speech communication. This
study focuses on Mr. Andrie Wongso?s speech style. The writer chose Mr. Andrie
Wongso because Mr. Andrie Wongso has different style to convey information
and to express feeling in his speech. He is recognized as number one motivational
speaker in Indonesia. The writer analyzed the language style related to sentence
types and communicative functions in his sentences. The problem of this research
is to see sentence types and communicative functions used in Mr. Andrie
Wongso?s speech. The writer used sentence types and communicative functions
suggested by Kennedy (2003) and Moeliono (2003) for analyzing Mr. Andrie
Wongso?s speech style. The sentence types are declarative sentence, interrogative
sentence, imperative sentence, and exclamative sentence. The communicative
functions are making a statement, asking a question, directing others, and
expressing attitude. In this study, the writer used qualitative descriptive approach.
The writer found that Mr. Andrie Wongso used seven combinations between
sentence types and communicative functions, that is, declarative sentence for
making a statement, declarative sentence for directing others, interrogative
sentences for making a statement, interrogative sentence for asking a question,
interrogative sentence for directing others, imperative sentence for directing
others, and exclamative sentences for expressing attitude. Mr. Andrie Wongso
used declarative sentence types more compared to other sentence types and used
making a statement communicative function more compared to other
communicative functions. Besides, he used imperative sentence more in the first
five minutes of the speech compared to imperative sentence on average spoken
English and his speech in other parts. The purpose to use this style was to make
the audience have more enthusiasm in this seminar. Moreover, he used declarative
sentences and interrogative sentences instead of imperative sentences to direct the
audiences because of politeness reason.
