Abstract
This study is focused on the use of language in the Misogyny Speech delivered by Julia Gillard, the first female Australian Prime Minister, on 22 October 2012. Data is obtained from The Sydney Moring Herald website as much as 264 clauses of Julia Gillard’s Misogyny Speech transcript. To reveal hidden meaning in the speech, this study uses theory of Critical Discourse Analysis adapted by Fairclough (1995), known as three-dimensional analysis. The method used to analyze the data is a mixed approach, includes qualitative data, statistical analysis, and non-experimental design. This method is applied to know types of process and dominant process in the speech through the analysis of transitivity proposed by Halliday (1994). It is also employed to disclose the power served by Gillard, dominant gender of Gillard, and possibility of gender inequality in Australia. As the result, this study shows that material process is the dominant process followed by relational, mental, verbal, behavioral, and existential process. Second, based on the result of transitivity analysis supported by theory of power by Fairclough, Gillard shows herself as powerless figure. Third, based on theory of gender by Cameron (1990), Gillard portrays herself as female gender. Last, the three-dimensional analysis shows that instead of presents herself as powerless figure, Gillard tries to convey the hidden meaning through the Misogyny Speech that is Australian women are still being under-represented. Therefore, gender inequality still exists in Australia, especially in political field.
