Abstract

The study was intended to analyze the speech features used by Ryan Higa and his two guest stars in the selected video podcast on the Nigahiga youtube channel. The study aims to identify the men's speech features according to Coates theory (2013), the speech function according to Holmes and Wilson theory (2017), and the context of the situation according to Hymes theory (2001). This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. The researcher collected the data by transcribing two of Nigahiga's video podcasts entitled "What's like being #1 most subscribed on YouTube? (Ft. Anthony Padilla) – off the pill podcast #26" and "Life of a tech reviewer (Ft. Marques Brownlee) – off the pill podcast #38". Then, the researcher analyzed the men's speech features, the speech function, and the context of the situation that occurred when Ryan Higa and his two guest stars had a conversation in a selected video podcast on the Nigahiga YouTube channel. The findings of this study indicate that Ryan Higa and his two guest stars use four men's speech features. The men's speech features uttered by Ryan Higa and his two guest stars in the Nigahiga podcast video are topic choice, monologue and playing the expert, question, and turn-taking. The topic choice found in this study includes social media, events, sports, health, and technology topics. The most dominant men speech features in this study are a monologue and playing the expert. Monologue and playing the expert are features of male speech where a man is holding the floor when talking about a thing they understand. Furthermore, the researcher found 4 data of speech functions used by Ryan Higa and his two guest stars in the selected video podcast. The speech functions found in this study are expressive function, directive function, referential function, and metalingual function. The current study shows that Ryan Higa and his guest stars use the male speech feature and speech function in the same situation by expressing several different feelings when discussing various topics.
