But the interactional meta-discourse markers in diplomatic speech were rarely investigated. These gaps have been encouraging the researcher to conduct the present to analyze interactional meta-discourse contained in Joe Biden’s United Nations General Assembly speech in the case of Russia-Ukraine war. First, it is to identify the types of interactional meta- discourse in Joe Biden’s political speech. Second, it also determines the functions of interactional meta-discourse in Joe Biden’s political speech. It employed a qualitative approach for the analysis. Then, in collecting data, it used note-taking as an instrument. In this regard, I listened and watched Joe Biden’s UNGA speech in the case of Russia-Ukraine war and then took notes on any utterances containing types and functions of interactional meta-discourse. Then, for analysing data, I classified the types and functions of interactional meta-discourse using a theory from Hyland (2005). The result designates that Joe Biden explicitly intends to demonstrate his position as a neutral country while also advocating for peace. Besides, in diplomatic speech such as in UNGA, the interactional meta-discourse is interpreted differently by speakers as a tool for diplomatic engagement with representatives of world nations. }, issn = {3031-5794}, url = {https://proceedings.undip.ac.id/index.php/icocas/article/view/711} }
