Abstract

This study investigates the deployment of impoliteness strategies in political discourse, focusing on the iNEWS YouTube video “Keras! Rocky Singgung Penjilat, Silfester Emosi hingga Keluar Kata Kasar - Rakyat Bersuara 03/09.” Employing Culpeper's (1996) Impoliteness Theory, the research aims to identify, categorize, and quantify the specific strategies used by the discussants. The quantitative analysis reveals that Negative Impoliteness is the most dominant strategy, accounting for 28.85% of all occurrences, a clear indication that speakers prioritized direct attacks on the opponent’s intellectual credibility and self-worth to increase social distance. Following this were Sarcasm or Mock Impoliteness (23.08%) and Withholding Politeness (21.15%). These findings demonstrate that impoliteness in this public forum is not merely an emotional byproduct but a calculated rhetorical strategy used to assert dominance, attack the opponent's negative face, and shape public perception. The prevalence of these strategies underscores the confrontational nature of modern political debates on digital platforms, where aggressive discourse is strategically employed to gain attention and reinforce ideological positions. The study emphasizes the critical role of impoliteness as a strategic linguistic tool in media-driven political communication. Future research should explore the perlocutionary effects of these strategies on audience reception and their contribution to political polarization in the digital age.

Abstract

This study investigates the critical role of media framing in geopolitical conflict by analyzing the coverage of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's denial of the Gaza famine, a claim directly contradicted by international humanitarian reports. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Robert Entman's framing theory (Problem Definition, Causal Diagnosis, Moral Judgment, and Suggested Remedies), we conducted a comparative analysis of news articles from two ideologically distinct outlets: Al Jazeera Arabic and CNN Arabic. The analysis reveals fundamentally divergent framing strategies. Al Jazeera utilized a decisive Accountability Frame, defining the problem as a "blatant lie" against established humanitarian fact and diagnosing the cause as the "Israeli war of annihilation" and ongoing blockade. Its moral judgment was strongly condemnatory, leading to a proposed political solution (immediate lifting of the siege). Conversely, CNN Arabic adopted a cautious Debate and Juxtaposition Frame, defining the problem as a conflict of high-stakes political claims. It presented an ambiguous causal diagnosis by balancing Netanyahu's denial with counter-data on malnutrition deaths, and implicitly proposed an information solution (transparency and independent journalistic access). This ideological divergence confirms that media alignment dictates narrative construction in highly sensitive conflicts. The findings highlight the significance of discourse linguistics and critical discourse analysis as effective tools for uncovering the hidden agendas and ideological biases embedded in news texts. By analyzing linguistic choices, this research demonstrates how language actively shapes, rather than merely reports, social and political reality.
