Cara bagaimana perempuan dalam memberikan ucapan-ucapan mereka menunjukkan gaya linguistik khusus yang diutarakan oleh mereka. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini focus pada cara bagaimana gaya bahasa Michelle Obama dalam memberikan pidato sebagai seorang Ibu Negara dari Africa Amerika. Sehingga tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjawab tiga masalah penelitian. Yang pertama adalah jenis fitur bahasa perempuan apa yang digunakan oleh Michelle Obama, jenis fitur bahasa perempuan yang sering digunakan, dan apa tujuan fitur-fitur bahasa yang digunakan olehnya. Selain itu, penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif. Sedangkan data berupa kata, frasa, klausa, dan kalimat yang digunakan oleh Michel Obama. Kemudian data tersebut diidentifikasi serta diklasifikasi berdasarkan sepuluh fitur yang yang ditetapkan oleh Lakoff.
Dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hanya ada tujuh fitur yang diklasifikasikan sebagai fitur bahasa perempuan oleh Michelle Obama, seperti penggunaan lexical hedges, rising intonation on declarative, empty adjective, intensifier, hypercorrect grammar, superpolite form, dan empathic stress. Sementara fitur bahasa lainnya tidak ditemukan seperti tag question, precise color terms, dan avoidance of strong swear words. Selain itu, kemunculan pada setiap fitur bahasa perempuan dalam penelitian ini berbeda. Total kemunculan pada lexical hedges adalah dua puluh sembilan. Rising intonation muncul dengan total hanya dua. Kemudian ada delapan puluh empat pada intensifier, dua puluh pada hypercorrect grammar, dan dua pada superpolite form, dan yang terakhir empathic stress dengan total delapan. Sehingga fitur bahasa yang muncul terbanyak adalah intensifier. Kemudian tujuan dalam penggunaan fitur bahasa perempuan adalah: lexical hedges untuk merendahkan pernyataan dan menunjukkan keraguan atau kepercayaan diri, rising intonation untuk membuat ketegasan, empty adjective untuk menunjukkan kekaguman pada sesuatu, intensifier untuk mempengaruhi lawan bicara dan memperkuat makna, hypercorrect grammar untuk meningkatkan status sosial sebagai suatu kebiasaan, superpolite form untuk mengurangi ketegasan, dan yang terakhir empathic stress untuk menekankan pada kata-kata tertentu.
Didalam skripsi, penulis memberikan saran untuk peneliti selanjutnya yang ingin menganalisa tentang fitur bahasa perempuan: gunakan teori lain dan gunakan peneletian lapangan seperti fitur bahasa pada perempuan di pasar-pasar tradisional. Ini akan membuat berbeda dan memperkaya pengetahuan.
