This becomes a problem when such expressions are conveyed in public spaces. One of the interesting cases related to public speaking is the controversial speech case of Basuki Tjahja Purnama (BTP). The case of the BTP speech is linguistically interesting to study because it involves hot religious issues in Indonesia. BTP's controversial speech became a polemic because it was delivered in front of the wider community. This study reveals the controversial expressions of BTP using Praat and X-Bar Theory.

This provides forensic evidence whether the speech contains speech that promotes hate speech. Based on the results of Praat's analysis, it is known that BTP utterances experience a certain emphasis when discussing issues or problems that concern him, especially those related to religion.

X Bar focuses on the core processes of lexical constituents in three domains, namely argument, complement and determinants. Based on the analysis of the X Bar theory, it is known that BTP's controversial expressions are aimed at certain parties. This is demonstrated by the emphasis on the argument domain.
