This study posits that Biden's speech serves as a means of political engagement not only as the announcement of a decision but also as the cultivation of a shared perspective and consciousness on the role and position of the United States and its allies in the Afghanistan war. This study aims at examining the representation of social actors in his speech using van Leeuwen's approach of critical discourse analysis (van Leeuwen, 2008). This study investigates the ways how the social actors are depicted in the speech and uncovers the underlying ideology behind their portrayal. According to the result, the dominance of inclusion strategies (84.1%) indicates various ways of portrayal the social actors either. The recontextualization of the Afghanistan war in the speech is constructed significantly by beliefs and attitudes of social actors within US sides. The speech expresses the role of the current president, US forces and government aiming at the shape of public opinion positively for the future of Americans and the latest national interest of United States Furthermore, this speech emphasizes the American foreign policy during Biden's administration about the multilateralism. Its implementation is proposing the diplomacy, specifically using non-military means to protect the human rights and build strong international collaboration. Biden's decision to end the Afghan war is a deliberate attempt to promote peace and stability in the United States by focusing on its future rather than dwelling on the past.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of conversational implicature and types of speech acts in informal conversations in five episodes of the Tema Indonesia YouTube channel, namely DPN, Comedy Buddy, Gegerrr, Sekolah Ngawur, and Pods Tema. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with an interactive model data analysis technique from Miles and Huberman (1994). The theories used are Searle's Speech Acts Theory (1969) and Grice's Conversational Implicature Theory (1975). The results of the study showed that 30 conversational implicature data were found, consisting of 53% particularized conversational implicature and 47% generalized conversational implicature. Most of the utterances are expressive speech acts that function to convey social criticism, emotional evaluation, and light satire. In addition, representative and directive speech acts were also found, although with a lower frequency, functioning to provide information and suggestions in a subtle manner. No commissive or declarative speech acts were found in the data. These findings suggest that communication in Tema Indonesia is reflective, critical, and entertaining, relying on humor and implicature to strengthen the audience's emotional engagement and encourage active interpretation of implied meanings. This research confirms that digital communication not only forms entertainment, but also a space for social and political discussion packaged in a light-hearted style.
