Research Method Analytic descriptive
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
Data 1
“TBH I think that Capello should drop him from the tournament. He needs to be heavily punished by UEFA too, he deliberately kicked someone in trying to injure them.
If it was someone against Wayne or any of the rest of the England squad we'd all be calling for a lengthy ban.”
Analysis TBH (to be honest) is used when someone wants
to make personal statement Based on the speech event, TBH is a statement
from the speaker who thinks that Capello should drop Rooney from the tournament.
Thus, it can be classified into direct assertive since there is a direct relationship between structure and communicative function
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
Data 2
“Stupid about Gerrard. But tbh he had a tight hamstring a few weeks ago didn't he...
We need to beat Arsenal and I can't see us doing it at all.”
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
Analysis TBH (to be honest) is used when someone wants
to make personal statement Based on the speech event, TBH is not used as
statement, but it is used to make excuse of Gerrard’s poor performance.
Thus, it can be classified into indirect directives since there is an indirect relationship between structure and communicative function.
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
