Abstract

The study is aimed at investigating grammatical cohesive devices in Mufti Menk’s Islamic Speech video entitled ‘Keep Moving, Don’t Look Back’, in which contains a motivational lecture to the Muslims community. There are two problems to be studied in this study, namely: (1) what types of grammatical cohesive devices are used by Mufti Menk in his speech and (2) how does Mufti Menk uses grammatical cohesive devices in his speech. This study uses a qualitative approach in relation to the use of clear and systematic description about the phenomena being studied. A descriptive study in textual analysis was applied in this study to analyze the speech delivered by Mufti Menk. The analysis is based on Halliday and Hasan’s theory of grammatical cohesive devices. The data consist of words, phrases, and sentences that contain grammatical cohesive devices. The data collection began with transcribing the speech from the video. The transcription was then analyzed by identifying and classifying the types of grammatical cohesive devices through highlighting and coding. Subsequently, the analysis focused on examining how Mufti Menk uses these devices in his speech. This study reveals that almost all categories of grammatical cohesive devices are applied in speech. These include reference (personal, demonstrative, and comparative), conjunction (additive, adversative, causal, and temporal), substitution (nominal and verbal), and ellipsis (nominal, verbal, and clausal). However, no instance of clausal substitution was found in Mufti Menk’s utterances. The researcher found that reference is the most common type of grammatical cohesive device, with 561 occurrences. Additionally, the second most common type is a conjunction, with 287 occurrences. Moreover, the type of ellipsis occurs with 10 occurrences, and substitution with 4 occurrences. The findings indicate that Mufti Menk uses grammatical cohesive devices to maintain cohesion, improve clarity, and ensure a coherent flow throughout his speech. The result shows that these devices play an important role in reinforcing the unity of the speech and enhancing the effectiveness of message delivery in Mufti Menk's Islamic speech.
