Discourse grammar (DG) can be applied in analyzing political discourse including the public speech, in which the speaker wins the response from the audience. This paper, based on Collocation theory in Discourse Grammar (DG), analyses the presidential speeches of Obama (US) and Jokowi (Indonesia). From the result, we can learn that both presidents avoid ambiguous meanings in their speeches.
