PEIRCE SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS IN THE USE OF THE FOUR PILLAR OF LANGUAGE NATION AND STATE OF MPR RI Abstract The application of the term “Four Pillars of the Nation and of the State” as the socialization program of MPR RI evokes debates. This term, which has been used since 2009, gives a significant impact in many aspects of linguistics, especially in the aspect of sosiolinguistic, semantic, pragmatic, and semiotics of language. This research aims to describe and analyze the problem of semiotics in the use of the Four Pillars of the Nation and of the State by the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia. The “Four Pillars” referred to by the People's Consultative Assembly consist of Pancasila, 1945 Constitution, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and Unity in Diversity. The research data is from the phrase “Four Pillars of the Nation and of the State” which is collected by using the data inventory, data categorization, and data clarification. Method of analyzing the data in this research is using semiotic analysis. Result: The results of this study indicate that: first, the term “Four Pillars of the Nation and of the State” is a unique and unusual preposition in the sociolinguistics context of Indonesian society. Second, this term which categorizes Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and Unity in Diversity becomes a mistake of the language terminology. It is because they are on the contrary to the semantic and pragmatic aspects. Third, based on the rules of writing the symbols and the sign, the Four Pillars of the Nation and of the State does contradict the position and function Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Unitary State of the Republik of Indonesia, and Unity in Diversity originally have, as one exact same variant. Fourth, based on the semiotic aspects, the use of the Four Pillars of the Nation and of the State has disrupted the system of signs and symbols, especially the semiotic meaning of Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and Unity in Diversity.
