Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the types of lexical cohesion found in an English speech presented by Shereen Salama on English Speeches YouTube channel.  The 13-minute-long video contained motivational words for Muslim youth without any political purposes. The video then was transcribed and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method in the form of content analysis.  The gathered data eventually were classified based on Haliday dan Hasan’ theory. The result findings showed that there were 26 synonyms, 1 superordinate, 1 collocation, and 57 repetition data. The most frequent lexical cohesion type was repetition words which appeared as many as 57 times.
