Abstract

This study investigates the representation of the Cisarua landslide in news media through corpus-assisted transitivity analysis within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics. It focuses on identifying the dominant processes, participants, and circumstances employed in the news reports to construct disaster representations. A qualitative approach using discourse analysis was employed in this study. The data consisted of news reports about the Cisarua landslide published in The Jakarta Post from 25 to 31 January 2026. The collected news texts were compiled into a corpus consisting of 5,601 words and analyzed using UAM CorpusTool. The analysis involved clause segmentation, transitivity annotation, frequency calculation, and concordance or Key Word in Context analysis. The findings identified 1,799 transitivity elements, comprising participants, processes, and circumstances. Participants were the most frequent category with 921 occurrences (51.2%), followed by processes with 578 occurrences (32.1%), and circumstances with 300 occurrences (16.7%). The analysis also revealed the dominance of several participant roles and process types in the corpus. Material processes appeared most frequently with 339 occurrences (18.8%), while relational and verbal processes were also commonly identified in the news reports. Among the participant roles, Goal was the most frequent (28.7%), followed by Actor (18%), indicating that the reports foregrounded affected entities and highlighted the actions of agents. In addition, location circumstances were the most dominant circumstance category, with 207 occurrences (11.5%). The findings show that the disaster news reports primarily emphasized disaster events, institutional responses, affected entities, and landslide-related contextual information.

Abstract

Claiming that “this may be the most important speech I’ve ever made,” this speech was one of the most noteworthy turning points of the 2020 United States presidential election. This paper aims at analyzing Trump’s speech on voter fraud claims that was released on December 2, 2020 from a critical discourse perspective. This descriptive qualitative research describes and investigates the main features, the main points of concern, and the objectives tried to achieve by delivering the speech. The result of the study shows that the main features of Trump’s political discourse include simplicity, repetition, parataxis, frames, deictics, hyperboles, inarticulation, and hearsay evidence. These features reflect Trump’s personality as well as his supporters’ characteristics. Regarding the main points of the discourse, there are several issues, including pandemic, swing states, mail-in ballots, and rigged system, that Trump tries to convey. There are also further implications or objectives that Trump tries to achieve by releasing the speech: keeping loyal supporters and avoiding prosecution.

Abstract

This study investigated the functions of sentences used in Colorbox's Instagram captions applying Greenbaum & Nelson (2009) framework: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory. The aims of this study were to identify and analyze their use and to identify which types are the most frequently utilized. To achieve these objectives, 30 captions containing 58 sentences posted by Colorbox from January to December 2024 were selected using purposive random sampling. The captions were analyzed using qualitative methods. Each sentence in the text was examined and categorized based on its function. The results showed that imperative sentences are the most frequently used (46%), followed by interrogative sentences (28%), declarative sentences (21%), and exclamation sentences (5%). Imperative sentences are often used to encourage actions such as commenting or tapping on a link. The other sentence types are used to provide information, ask questions, or express emotions. These findings showed that Colorbox uses sentence functions effectively to communicate and interact with its audience. The results of this study give two implications both theoretically and practically. Theoretically, the results enrich the knowledge on functions of sentences. Practically, the results provide an insight for content creators and marketing practitioners to write more interesting, clear, and engaging captions.
