📄 Abstract
The study critically examined the Vice President?s speeches to determine the textual structure and evaluative stance of the Vice President?s speeches. The study revealed the textual structure of the speeches, mechanized by the Canonical Order of Spans and Textual Relation Classification: the nucleus before satellite and the satellite before nucleus order. The findings also showed that the evaluative stance in the speeches was revealed through evaluative language strategies: nomination, predication, thematization, stylization, topical segmentation, and completeness of the sentence. Furthermore, the results of this study also revealed that the Filipino values and ideology portrayed in the speeches are the Persistence of Family Ties and Raise the Standard of Living. Hence, the study's results determined how the audience may recognize the true meaning and detect the influence of a political leader?s language in relaying information and providing their socio-cultural values system. The study also emphasizes that speeches resonate by aligning with the audience?s values, enhancing emotional connections, and influencing beliefs and ideologies.
