Abstract

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) pertains to the examination of language or linguistic usage. The objectives of this investigation were twofold: firstly, to identify the types of CDA evident in Selena Gomez's speeches, and secondly, to delineate the social cognition apparent within her speeches. The researcher employed Teun A. Van Dijk's (1998) Critical Discourse Analysis theory as the theoretical framework. Employing qualitative and descriptive methodologies, this study aimed to depict and scrutinize the data. The analysis primarily focused on dissecting the critical discourse present in Selena Gomez's speech texts. Through this analysis, three categories of CDA elements were identified in Selena Gomez's speeches: firstly, thematic elements, comprising a single category; secondly, syntactic style elements, subdivided into five categories, namely Persuasion, Impression Management, Attribution, Cohesion, and Pronoun usage; thirdly, semantic style elements, which were further categorized into Background and Detail, as well as Presupposition; and fourthly, schemata, classified into three segments: the opening section, the content, and the closing section. Additionally, several elements contributing to social cognition were discerned, including person schemas, self-schemes, and role schemes

Abstract

This study explores the intersection between language, identity construction, and humor in the context of stand-up comedy using a critical discourse analysis approach. Stand-up comedy, as a popular cultural genre, is not merely a medium of entertainment but also a site where social meanings are created, contested, and negotiated. The research focuses on how comedians utilize linguistic strategies such as code-switching, the use of slang, metaphor, and local idioms to represent and perform multiple social identities, including those related to ethnicity, gender, and class. Through analyzing selected performances by Indonesian comedians, the study reveals that humor functions as a powerful discursive tool that reflects social realities, challenges dominant ideologies, and facilitates symbolic resistance. Furthermore, audience reactions such as laughter, silence, or applause are shown to co-construct the meaning of humor and identity on stage. The study concludes that stand-up comedy serves as a critical platform for negotiating cultural norms and identities within contemporary public discourse, contributing significantly to linguistic and cultural studies.
