Abstract

Media discourse plays an important role in constructing and disseminating ideological meanings, particularly in political reporting, where language is used to represent social actors and political events from specific perspectives. This study investigates the ideological stance underlying news reports on the United States government's and politicians' reactions to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, as reported in The Guardian Online Newspaper. The study employs Martin and White's (2005) Appraisal Theory, focusing on the Attitude subsystem, in conjunction with Fairclough's (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The data consist of three news reports published by The Guardian on January 3 and 4, 2026, totaling 1,567 words. The analysis examines how evaluative language is utilized to construct particular representations of social actors and political actions. The findings reveal that The Guardian predominantly employs negative evaluative polarity and frequently expresses attitudes through indirect invocation, in which evaluative meanings are implied and subsequently reinforced through quoted statements. The United States government and politicians are primarily positioned as the appraisers and active social actors, whereas Nicolás Maduro is predominantly represented as the appraised social actor. The study further demonstrates that the news reports construct the capture of Maduro as a protective and legitimate action associated with concerns over security and anti-drug enforcement. Through these evaluative patterns, the newspaper reflects and reproduces particular ideological perspectives regarding the political event. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how media discourse utilizes evaluative language to shape ideological representations in contemporary political reporting.

Abstract

This study adopted an analytical combination of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), particularly Appraisal theory of Martin & White (2005), to achieve the objective of the study. The categorization of Appraisal analysis in each lexical choice has been investigated under the Attitudinal system with its three subtypes: Judgement, Affect, and Appreciation. This research design employed a mixed-method approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, with the qualitative method aimed at describing the data and the frequencies of the lexical choices obtained from the quantitative method. The qualitative aspect is indicated by the application of CDA. The results show that President Prabowo’s intentional ideology toward the chronic issue of Palestine-Israel is positioning the main actors through evaluative expressions in his emotional speech delivered at the United Nations General Assembly 80th Session, in New York. It is found that the most dominant frequency comes to the subtype of appreciation, particularly valuation, rather than all subtypes of attitudinal types. This indicates that President Prabowo ideologically, directly, and positively appreciates the world leaders in supporting and cooperating to solve the Palestine-Israel conflict with a two-state solution. Socio-culturally, Muslims make up the majority of the Indonesian population, more than 80%, and historically, Indonesia and Palestine have a long-standing relationship. Indonesia will recognize Israel if Israel does the same to Palestine.
