The results of the research are: (1) there are only seven out of twelve types of figurative language found based on Perrine’s theory, i.e. metaphor, simile, personification, synecdoche, paradox, irony and hyperbole; (2) among four functions of figurative language proposed by Perrine, only three are found in the speech. Bringing additional imagery is carried by metaphor, increasing emotional intensity is carried by metaphor and hyperbole and saying much in brief compass is carried by all the seven figures of speech found in the speech; and (3) there are two types of responses toward the speech, the negative which sees it as a criticism to counter U.S. dominancy towards the globe and the positive one which sees it as an invitation to discussion.
