Abstract

This thesis examines the discoveries of intensifiers in a YouTube video entitled How to Be the Best Women: Womanhood Reimagined. This thesis contains the results of the discovery of intensifiers in the speech in the video How to Be the Best Woman: Womanhood Reimagined which has been described and then explained regarding the relationship of these intensifiers to context. This thesis uses the core of Quirk et al. (1985) regarding intensive adverbs involved in this study. Also, the theory regarding context put forward by Dell Hymes (1960) to interpret existing data could be found in this research. The theory originating from Robin Lakoff regarding the characteristics of women’s speech features or women’s language exists to strengthen the core theory. The focus of this study was to analyze the data obtained from YouTube videos on the Jannah-Institue channel whose speaker was a woman named Dr. Haifaa Younis. In analyzing this thesis, the researcher used a qualitative descriptive method with data in the form of findings from words that appear in sentences and phrases. The focus of this research is a form of written matters such as notes and observations of the writing or video transcripts being studied. In this study, 28 intensifiers were found as data. Among them are 4 as emphasizers, 15 as amplifiers, and 9 as many downtoners. This finding proves that the use of intensifiers in speech can have an impact on the listener. Moreover, in this study, there is a relation between women's language and the intensifiers they obtain. According to Qi Pan (2011), the two factors that cause the attachment between women's speech features and intensifiers are psychological factors that exist within women, where women are known for their gentle temperament and great empathy, thus society also shapes women with expectations of what they want. Therefore, the second factor is that with social change women can voice their opinions by having the effect of using intensifiers in the speech they produce.
