Abstract


This article focused on women’s language features in women in a meeting as illustrated by Alexandra Petri. This research belongs to a qualitative content analysis research. Although it was mostly done using qualitative, quantitative method was also conducted to find the percentage of frequency. The data collected in this research was through transcript of Alexandra Petri’s TedTalk video, taken from Youtube, and her The Washington Post article. Her TedTalk video was posted on February 2nd 2016, whilst her article was posted prior to that on October 13th 2015. The result shows seven women's language features were used: lexical hedges or fillers, followed by super-polite form, emphatic stress, rising intonation, intensifier, empty adjectives, and tag question. The utterances demonstrated by Petri tends to use lexical hedges and super-polite form more, which shows how uncertain and unconfident women are.
