IMPACTS OF INTERPERSONAL METAPHOR ON GRAMMATICAL INTRICACY AND LEXICAL DENSITY IN THE TEXT OF PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE BETWEEN BARRACK OBAMA AND MITT ROMNEY
Abstract: The objectives
of the study
are (1) to
identify types of interpersonal metaphor
used in the
text of presidential
debate between Barrack Obama
and Mitt Romney,
(2) to describe
the impacts of interpersonal
metaphor grammatical intricacy
(GI) and lexical density
(LD) in the
text of presidential
debate between Barrack Obama
and Mitt Romney
with reference to congruent
coding, (3) to
explain the ways
interpersonal metaphor have impacts on GI and LD in the text of
presidential debate between Barrack Obama and Mitt Romney. The findings reveal that
both types of
interpersonal metaphor namely metaphor of modality and metaphor of
mood are found. In terms of metaphor of modality, the three values namely high,
medium and low are
identified as the
following proportions: 18 utterances
(25.71%) with high
value, 28 utterances
(40%) with medium value
and 8 utterances
(11.42%) with low
value. Meanwhile the rest is metaphor
of mood which
is realized in questions as many as 14 utterances (20%)
and command which occur twice (2.85%). All of metaphor of modality and metaphor
mood have the
higher ratio of
GI compared to
the congruent forms. As for LD,
the result was
various; this is
to say that
to one side, the
presence of interpersonal
metaphor in some utterances cause
the utterances to
have higher ratio
of LD than that of the congruent codings. On the
other side, the ratio of LD in some of the congruent codings are higher than
that of some of the interpersonal metaphor utterances.
