Abstract

This study investigates how political discourse constructs a sense of threat through the cognitive–pragmatic process of proximization. Addressing the methodological gap in Critical Discourse Studies (CDS), it integrates Proximization Theory with Discourse Space Theory (DST) to explain how linguistic strategies collapse symbolic distance and legitimize political action. DST provides the socio-cognitive framework through which proximization operates along spatial, temporal, and axiological dimensions. Using a socio-cognitive discourse-analytic design, the study analyzes a political speech by Benjamin Netanyahu (UN General Assembly, 2025), coding each clause for its proximization function. Statistical results (χ²(2) = 25.47, p < .001) indicate a non-random distribution of proximization markers, dominated by axiological cues. These findings demonstrate that spatial contraction, temporal acceleration, and moral intensification jointly construct a trajectory moving the “Other” toward the deictic center, thereby reinforcing ideological alignment and legitimizing political intervention. The study contributes theoretically by integrating DST and proximization into a unified model of ideological cognition, methodologically by combining qualitative mapping and quantitative validation, and practically by illuminating how political actors linguistically manage perception of threat and legitimacy in global diplomacy.

Abstract

This study analyzes forms of covert linguistic influence in Indonesian political interviews, focusing on three primary strategies: presupposition, conversational implicature, and hypnotic ambiguity. Political communication functions through explicit message content and implicit utterances subtly and systematically shaping public opinion. The research aims to uncover how suggestive politicians and interviewers employ strategies to frame meaning without making direct claims. The study adopts a qualitative discourse analysis approach grounded in cognitive pragmatics. Data were drawn from ten political interview transcripts broadcast on national television and digital platforms between 2019 and 2024. Analysis was conducted using the framework of Relevance Theory (Sperber & Wilson) and hypnotic language models (Erickson & NLP). Analytical tools such as AntConc were used to map the distribution of keywords and contextual usage of suggestive phrases. Findings indicate that presupposition emerged as the most dominant strategy (28.5%), followed by implicature (23.8%) and semantic ambiguity (15.7%). Additionally, hypno questioning (14.2%), embedded commands (10%), and vocal emphasis (7.6%) were identified as supplementary techniques that enhance suggestion at both affective and inferential levels. The study also reveals that strategy usage varies depending on the media platform, interview style, and the politician's background. Conceptually, this research extends the application of pragmatic theory to local political contexts and demonstrates that language is a latent tool of influence operating at both cognitive and emotional levels. The study contributes to political linguistics and offers a new analytical framework for examining implicit communication in public discourse. Practical implications include strengthening media literacy, promoting ethical political communication, and enhancing critical education regarding suggestive influence in digital democracy.

Abstract

This study investigates President Prabowo Subianto’s 2025 address to the United Nations General Assembly through the integrated framework of Cognitive Pragmatics and Relevance Theory. It explores how persuasion in diplomatic discourse operates as a distributed cognitive process rather than a mere rhetorical performance. The analysis combines qualitative pragmatic interpretation with corpus-assisted evidence using AntConc to identify patterns of attention, inference, and empathy in the speech. Findings reveal that ostensive cues function as attentional scaffolds directing the audience’s cognitive focus, while inferential mechanisms co-construct moral legitimacy through shared reasoning. Empathy, manifested lexically and prosodically, emerges as a relevance amplifier that fuses affective alignment with inferential cooperation. Quantitative corpus results particularly the high frequency of moral and relational lexemes such as peace, justice, humanity, and together confirm the centrality of moral cognition in persuasive framing. The study extends Relevance Theory by proposing empathy as an epistemic variable mediating the affective–inferential continuum of meaning. It concludes that political persuasion, especially within Global South diplomacy, functions as a cognitive negotiation of shared moral relevance, where understanding and empathy become sources of communicative authority. This research thus contributes to the theoretical expansion of Relevance Theory, the methodological integration of corpus pragmatics, and the empirical understanding of moral cognition in global political communication.

Abstract

This study investigates the practice of linguistic manipulation in political campaigns by female figures in Indonesia, focusing on the use of suggestive strategies in constructing leadership discourse. The research is grounded in the assumption that women in politics face challenges in establishing authority amid gender-biased social expectations. To address these challenges, female political actors tend to rely on persuasive yet indirect language, employing suggestive structures that operate implicitly through context. The study aims to identify the forms and distribution of suggestive strategies and to describe how they function in framing authority, trust, and emotional connection with the public. Employing a qualitative approach supported by corpus analysis using AntConc software version 4.2.0, the study adopts Relevance Theory and Hypnotic Language Pattern as its theoretical framework, providing a conceptual basis for analyzing implicit meanings and the persuasive power of suggestion in political communication. Primary data were drawn from transcripts of speeches, public debates, and social media posts by Indonesian female politicians, while secondary data included online media articles and public documentation. Features such as Word List, Collocates, Concordance, and N-Grams were utilized to identify frequency, collocation patterns, contextual distribution, and suggestive phrase structures. Manual coding was conducted based on ten categories of linguistic suggestion, validated through a Cohen’s Kappa test (κ = 0.86), indicating a very high level of agreement. The findings reveal that presupposition accounted for 29.3% of all suggestive utterances, followed by embedded commands (21.7%), vague language (14.6%), and universal quantifiers (12.1%). Tag questions and double binds contributed 7.9% and 6.4%, respectively, while the remainder was distributed among truisms, implied cause-effect, and comparative deletion. Suggestive utterances were most prevalent in public speech texts (46.5%), followed by social media posts (33.2%) and media quotations (20.3%). Contextual distribution showed that suggestive strategies were intensively employed in the opening and closing segments of campaigns, as well as in parts emphasizing emotional proximity and calls to action.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how integrating Relevance Theory (RT) and Hypnotic Language Patterns can enhance witness honesty and recall through ethically suggestive questioning in Indonesian criminal trials. Courtroom questioning is a linguistically and cognitively complex act that mediates the production and evaluation of witness testimony. Despite its central role in shaping evidentiary narratives, questioning in Indonesian courtrooms remains predominantly procedural, with limited attention to the psychological and inferential dimensions of communication. Adopting a qualitative cognitive–pragmatic approach, the study draws on discourse and thematic analyses of two Indonesian criminal trials to explore how questioning strategies function at the intersection of cognition, inference, and judicial ethics. The analysis identifies nine recurrent questioning techniques, including soft suggestion, presupposition, and commitment framing. Findings indicate that soft suggestion (15.1%) and commitment framing (15.15%) reduce cognitive resistance and foster more detailed, coherent recollection. The results suggest that linguistic suggestion, when aligned with principles of cognitive relevance, can establish psychological safety and interpretive precision without compromising judicial neutrality. By conceptualizing courtroom questioning as guided cognition, this study advances forensic pragmatics through an integrated framework linking linguistic ethics, cognitive accessibility, and evidentiary reliability within a culturally contextualized legal setting.
