Abstract
Discourse grammar (DG) can be applied in analyzing political discourse including the public speech, in which the speaker wins the response from the audience.

From the result, we can learn that both presidents avoid ambiguous meanings in their speeches. Keywords: Discourse Grammar (DG), collocation, adjective, noun, verb, adverb.
