Abstract

During the event of disasters, news media are considered as the most visible of all parties involved in the response and rehabilitation. News media frame disaster events in certain attitudes, which then significantly resonates with the magnitude of the disaster. This research aims at investigating the attitude of the Japanese newspaper in narrating disaster events. Using the descriptive qualitative method, this study adopts the appraisal theory (Martin White, 2005) to embed and reveal appraisal in attitude features. The data were taken from three Japanese online newspapers reporting disaster events from 2019 to early 2020 with a total number of 100 articles. The findings show that of all attitudinal features, judgement is found as the most frequent source, followed by appreciation, and affect. It reveals newspapers’ tendency to emphasize the attitude and to construe the evaluation toward the events or phenomena rather than revealing the feelings or emotions experienced by the emoter(s). Interestingly, the distribution of the attitudinal implies the attitude of Japanese newspapers on reporting disaster which is highly emphasized on admiring, criticizing, praise, and condemning disaster events. It is also found that the negative features are slightly higher than the positive ones, but to refer to the phenomena rather than the victims. This lexical strategy proves that Japanese newspapers play the role in mainstreaming disaster management policy which focuses on the reconstruction and rehabilitation after disaster events.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the existence of the sense of sarcastic humour that is hidden in some visual data in the form of semiotic and verbal data in the form of transcriptions that have been selected from several video data. The approach used in this analysis is using Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) and combined with theory from The Language Metafunction. The results found are in the form of three interpretation results generated from video data, in the form of insult, satire, and dark humour. Based on these three results, it is revealed that there is an underlying purpose, making the sarcastic humour of the “Emotional Damage” meme a bridge between ironic and non-ironic humour. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of contemporary communication nuances and the multifarious dimensions of humour and sarcasm.Keywords: humour, language metafunction, MDA, sarcastic humour
