{"abstract":"The purpose of this study was to examine the standard linguistic features and speech acts present in the speeches of Senator Risa Hontiveros in senate hearings. The framework utilized in this study is the Analysis of Finegan (2008), and the classified illocutionary acts of Searle (1979), which are categorized into five: assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. Furthermore, this study employed a qualitative research methodology, specifically utilizing a discourse analysis approach. As a corpus-based investigation, the research material comprised the speeches delivered by Senator Risa Hontiveros during senate hearings. Moreover, the findings of this study revealed that Senator Risa Hontiveros in senate hearing utilized a morphological process, namely: affixation, compounding, and initialism. Also, it presented only the three types of sentences according to their function, which are the declarative, interrogative, and imperative sentences. Additionally, there are four types of discourse analysis: narration, description, exposition, and argument. At last, the study revealed that Senator Risa Hontiveros, in a senate hearing, utilized the five illocutionary acts of Searle. In connection to this study, analyzing the linguistic features and speech acts in Senator Hontiveros’ senate hearing speeches is crucial as it uncovers the deliberate use of language to shape opinions, convey messages, and achieve impactful communication within the realm of politics. Therefore, this analysis provides a deeper understanding of how her speeches are crafted to communicate with the people during the senate hearing effectively.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Mara Eva Mae Balicuat","Jandy Daga-as"],"date":"2025-08-20","doi":"10.70838/pemj.450505","id":6200,"issue":5,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"761c77170163e32ca352faca6bfa42ad86fac91c6ce154fa2a97542c9e037b6a","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"A Pragmatic Analysis of Senator Risa Hontiveros Speeches in Senate Hearing","volume":45}
