Abstract

In a criminal trial, the plea of the accused is arguably a very important appraising discourse tool functioning mainly to counter the crime narrative made by public prosecutors in their indictment and closing statement. As an appraisal instrument, the plea represents the stance of the accused with regards to the facts of the case as well as the legal aspects of the alleged crime. In this regard, the plea may serve both argumentative and persuasive functions and may shape, to some extent, the understanding and the consideration of the judges who decide on the case. The study, which is qualitative in nature, uses Martin and White’s appraisal theory (Martin and White, 2005) to investigate evaluation strategies employed by an accused of a corruption case in his plea. Evaluation strategies are defined here as strategies in discourse used to counter the crime narrative by employing relevant evaluative resources. The result of the analysis shows that the accused strategically uses the three main discourse semantics resources, i.e. engagement, attitude, and graduation. The contractive options of engagement (deny, counter, and pronounce) are used to counter aspects of the crime narrative, while judgment of propriety (social sanction) and capacity (social esteem) of the attitude component are employed mainly to evaluate aspects of the crime narrative negatively and aspects of the counter narrative positively. Furthermore, amplification and quantification options of the graduation component are used to strengthen the degree of evaluation. It can be concluded that the narrative of plea is arguably an important evaluative instrument which, strategically and professionally constructed, may help the accused convince the judges of his/her innocence.

Abstract

This research examines the use of negative judgment expressions within the framework of appraisal theory across four Facebook fan pages: Kata Kita (KK), Media Oposisi (MO), Mak Lambe Turah (LT), and Rakyat Oposisi (RO). The methods employed are discourse analysis and quantitative content analysis. Discourse analysis focusing on appraisal analysis is used to explore the evaluative language used in these social media accounts. Findings indicate a prevalent tendency for implicit judgment, with each clause element serving as a potential marker of negative judgment. In the dimension of Engagement, pronouncement expressions are not limited to reported speech; instead, they are often marked by specific lexical elements, including -lah, mah, -nih, -loh, among others. Furthermore, in terms of graduation, these pages employ pragmatic meaning repetition in addition to lexical and semantic repetition. These results suggest that Indonesian evaluative language possesses distinctive characteristics that diverge from English evaluative language, as outlined in Martin and White`s appraisal theory. Quantitative content analysis is used to examine the comparison of patterns or tendencies in the use of evaluative language across Facebook accounts. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of cultural distinctions in the evaluative language styles found in social media discourse.

Abstract

In conveying meaning, most Indonesian speakers still struggle in determining collocations properly, particularly for words that have the same denotative meaning in English. This research aims to reveal the English native speakers’ and the Indonesian speakers’ concept of verb ‘increase’. The semantic field in this study is based on syntagmatic relations or what is called collocation. The research method in this research adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches with descriptive and comparative methods and corpus linguistic methodological approach. The research data comes from digital texts in the field of economics of British students (British Academic Written English/ BAWE) and independent digital texts containing articles from Sinta 2 accredited national journals (Indonesian Economic Written English/ IEWE). The results show that the concept of the verb increase used by English native speakers is identical with Indonesian speakers that represents the spatial concept 'up'. Comprehending the concept, therefore, will enable Indonesian speakers to improve their comprehension of English VN collocations, as well as the accuracy of the VN collocations.

Abstract

Tradisi penghormatan kepada leluhur adalah karakteristik kebudayaan Tionghoa termasuk kebudayaan masyarakat Cina Benteng di Tangerang. Tradisi ritual Ceng Beng merupakan salah satu bentuk ritual penghormatan kepada leluhur yang tetap dilakukan oleh masyarakat Cina Benteng di Karawaci dan Pasar Lama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan wujud kebudayaan tradisi ritual Ceng Beng yang dipertahankan oleh masyarakat Cina Benteng di Karawaci dan Pasar Lama. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan melibatkan lima narasumber kalangan dewasa dan pemangku adat, serta lima narasumber kalangan muda yang masih secara konsisten menjalankan tradisi ritual Ceng Beng. Berdasarkan analisis dengan teori dimensi kebudayaan dan semiotik pragmatik, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pemahaman terhadap gagasan, pranata, serta kebudayaan materi yang berupa tindakan dan persembahan dalam ritual Ceng Beng tidak sama. Pemaknaan tradisi ritual Ceng Beng didominasi oleh pemaknaan simbolis. Pemaknaan yang bersifat indeksikal dan ikonis ditemukan pada sistem sosial dan kebudayaan materi. Hasil analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa pemertahanan wujud kebudayaan tradisi ritual Ceng Beng lebih mudah dilakukan melalui tatanan sosial dan benda-benda yang mengandungi nilai-nilai kepraktisan. Pemahaman orang tua terhadap makna ritual Ceng Beng sangat berperan dalam pemertahanan tradisi budayanya.
