(2020). Politeness Strategies in Directive Speech Act By Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama in Super Soul Sunday Talk Show. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Super Soul Sunday is an inspirational American talk show hosted by Oprah Winfrey. The episode "Becoming" is chosen as the object of the study. In this episode, Michelle Obama came as the guest to share her story about the memoir she just published entitled "Becoming." Michelle is the former first lady of the U.S. episode is chosen because the interaction between Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama in the talk show is interesting to discuss since Michelle comes to the talk show for a non-state event. Furthermore, in 2008, Oprah endorsed Barack Obama in the presidential election. There are two objectives of this study. The first one is to find out the types of politeness strategies in directives speech applied in Super Soul Sunday talk show. The second is to reveal the sociological variables illustrated in each politeness strategy in the talk show. This study is qualitative research by employing a pragmatic approach to answer the two research problems. The data were collected by choosing the utterances containing directive speech acts uttered by Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama in the talk show. Furthermore, the utterances were categorized into each type of politeness strategy. The result of the first findings was later analyzed using the theory of sociological variables to answer the second objective. The researcher found twenty-one utterances containing politeness found in the talk show.

The war in Iraq may be over, but it continues in Afghanistan and for those families whose loved ones are still gone, life during deployment is challenging, especially in Alaska, an assignment the military considers as demanding as an overseas post. For the men and women whose spouses serve in the U.S. Army, deployment is not just an abstract word heard on the evening news. It's real, it’s tough and it turns their world upside down. Military wives find themselves in a unique sisterhood. The tightest of bonds are formed over fears of deployment, realities of Army life and the emotional roller coaster of homecomings – all set against the backdrop of the rugged, demanding and extreme conditions of Alaska. (P) Sunday, November 18 (10-11 p.m. ET/PT) Episode: The Hooters Comment Was Offensive While the Brigade Commander’s wife Yolanda tries to promote sisterhood among the battalion wives, Traci and Lindsey battle over Army wife etiquette, and Sara’s housewarming takes a troubling turn after the women hear news of a communications blackout down range.

  • The Emerging Church, Oprah Winfrey, and the Reshaping of American Consciousness: Implications for Seventh-Day Adventist Ecclesiology
    The Emerging Church, Oprah Winfrey, and the Reshaping of American Consciousness: Implications for Seventh-day Adventist Ecclesiology Olive J. Hemmings Washington Adventist University Traditional church has birthed a materialistic culture1 of competing claims to truth, and an essential dis- ease with/in the faith community. A deep sigh for something more rises above the noise of ecclesiological dogmas evident in the rush for books on spirituality - meditation, ego reduction, the nature of consciousness, and paranormal experience. While the emerging church phenomenon is a response to the spiritual vacuum, Oprah Winfrey, “the world’s most famous woman”2 and a confessing Christian steps forward on a huge media platform in emergent mode. With the aid of a diverse team of ministers – spiritual/social action leaders she sets out with the express goal to transform America (and the world). By drawing upon multiple religious traditions, social, scientific and cultural disciplines she functions as high priestess of the most pervasive form of the Emerging Church, and demonstrates the extent to which many people seek God beyond traditional church even if they are still part of it. This paper sketches the basic nature and reach of the emerging church. It discusses it in the context of its academic roots and calls attention to the way Oprah’s media platform enables its outreach by what I call the “Oprah Project”. It then briefly observes an antagonistic Seventh-day Adventist ecclesiological stance towards emergence in order to hint at a christocentric transformational ecclesiology that may render the “threat” of this emergent ecclesiology benign. What is the Emerging Church? The current emerging conversation began out of perceived gap between established church practice and Jesus’ own example and teachings about the kingdom of God, between the church and contemporary culture, and between church dogmatic structures and the shifting epistemology of the age.
