Abstract

A large body of research on social action representation revolves around how social actors are discursively represented in a variety of media; nevertheless, very few discourse studies have investigated the Indonesian news media portrayal of an Indonesian politician in a number of social events. This research sought to fill in this gap by examining the representation of a prominent Indonesian political figure, i.e. Prabowo Subianto from the lens of two mainstream online Indonesia news media, i.e. Kompas and Republika. More specifically, the prime focus is on outlining types of social action and their grammatical and rhetorical realization in Indonesian discourse. Leeuwen’s (2005; 2008) social semiotics was adopted as the framework of analysis. Ten online news reports—five from each media—focusing on Prabowo were purposively selected on the basis of five key political incidents where Prabowo was engaged. Comparison of two media in their reporting of the events is of special interest, for the representation of the same individual in his socio-political actions can be more apparent and hence media tendencies can be easily identified. Findings reveal that both media have non-neutral, partial tendencies. Their language products entail sympathy and defense of Prabowo, albeit the journalistic code of ethics. More specifically, Republika tends to side with Prabowo’s campaign; while Kompas tends to oppose it. In the form of values, orientation, and tendencies, both media have an ideological tendency to defend or to offend the subject, Prabowo, as is clearly reflected through the distinctive discursive strategies they choose. Implicationally, these results corroborate the long-standing premise that media’s values or ideological stances to a certain extent appear to be a factor in portraying an individual and his/her action in the society, which in turn may influence public perceptions.

Abstract

Most countries in the world consider defamation case to be a civil domain. However, Indonesia still classifies defamation as a criminal act. Following the issue of defamation in the Criminal Code, the establishment of the Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information Transactions has resulted in a more complex situation because it also covers the act of defamation. After the Law came into force in 2009, to 2014, 71 people had been charged in court for alleged defamation. This study is a linguistic study in the context of law to discuss the construction of victims in copies of court decisions on defamation cases. It aims to reveal the representation of victims in the court’s verdict. The data were taken from two copy-texts of court decisions in 2014 and 2015. The texts explaining the position of victims in relation to one of the grounds for judge’s decision. This study used the Fairclough’s (1997) critical discourse analysis framework that features dialectical-relational approaches to map social relations patterns explaining a party's construction in a discourse. The data interpretation and conclusions reveal the reproductions of the logic of parties in the decisions, marginalization of victims, and the establishment of the role and position of victims in defamation discourses by ignoring institutional aspects and powerlessness. Thus, victims are not the center of discourse in the text copies of Indonesian court decisions. In addition, victim is the most important part of the defamation cases since the cases was classified as a criminal complaint.

Abstract

A tension exists between rationalists and empiricists regarding the nature of knowledge: innate then activated/discovered (rationalists) or constructed then invented (empiricists). The assumption is that, to a certain extent, basic knowledge seems to be innate in our mind and develops through experience by thinking processes to construct meanings. This meaning construction (thinking), mainly using language, is to make sense of and interpret the world. Meanings should be the primary motivation underlying linguistic constructions at all levels. This paper investigates meaning constructions at the lexical level of affixation by focusing on semantic behaviours of verbs in a complex word formation as an attempt: 1) to find out the semantic patterns of verb-based complex word formation, 2) to reveal if there is an iconic relationship of a sign (signifier) and its meaning (signified), and 3) to suggest for its teaching. Using semantic classes of verbs, based on situation types in deriving complex words, this study attempts to find out semantic patterns of such complex word formation and the possibility of revealing its iconicity. Using Antconc software, this study scrutinized linguistic expressions involving related verbs of state, event, and action in a corpus to reveal meaning construction at that level. The findings show several semantic patterns of verb-based complex word formation and an indication of the iconicity of signs. The paper also offers suggestions for teaching affixation

Abstract

Attention has been given to multimodal texts to investigate their potential meaning affordances that facilitate learning and raise awareness of ideological meanings. However, how learners learn to make meaning by integrating intermodal relations involving language and visual images, especially in the context of learning English as a foreign language (EFL), has not been researched much. This study investigated the emerging process of meaning-making in digital factual storytelling practices in a senior high school in Indonesia. Fifty-six students participated in this study and each produced a digital storytelling video (DST). The DST videos were analyzed using an intersemiotic complementary framework to reveal the occurrences and typical intermodal meaning-making practices, as shown in the student digital storytelling (DST) videos on autobiography. The analysis focused on describing the emerging modes of making experiential meanings of the intermodal verbal-visual relations. It was found that the process of meaning-making was dominantly constructed in an exposition manner involving the verbs within clauses for identifying and describing. The emerging meanings resulting from the multimodal affordances allow storytellers to track with the potential meanings projected by the images. The selection of digital images helps students explore words when telling a story, shifting the conventional genre of autobiography. This study indicates the need to emphasize the purpose of text and to afford multimodal features to support the achievement of communication purposes.

Abstract

This study looks at how power is established when translanguaging occurs in writing class discourse using English as the language of instruction. It is a qualitative research method using a case study methodology. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews with class lecturers, focus groups with nine students, and classroom observations. Fairclough's (2001) notions of "power behind discourse" and "power in discourse" serve as the analytical foundation for this study. He defined three types of aspects: subjects, or the "subject positions" that persons might hold; connections, or the social ties that people develop during talks; and content, or what is said or done. The findings demonstrated that translanguaging helps students conceive complicated concepts, negotiate meaning, and preserve their language and cultural identities. It also promotes collaborative learning environments, which normalize language variety while increasing students' confidence and academic autonomy. Translanguaging helps students to use their language resources, which promotes agency and critical engagement with academic information. However, it also emphasizes the power dynamics in students' linguistic identities, in which the usage of many languages threatens English's supremacy. By analyzing these interactions, this study emphasizes the need of inclusive instructional practices that empower students while respecting their language variety.

Abstract

This research analyzes the dynamics of care relationships and caregiving burden in extended families as represented in the film 1 Kakak 7 Ponakan directed by Yandy Laurens. The 129 minute film tells the story of Moko, an architecture student who must become the sole caregiver for his seven nieces and nephews after his sister and brother in law pass away, abandoning his dream of pursuing a master's degree at Columbia University. This study employs Cognitive Discourse Analysis (Van Dijk) integrated with care ethics (Gilligan, Noddings, Tronto) and pedagogical philosophy (Freire, Biesta) to explore mental models shaping caregiving discourse. Findings reveal three key aspects: (1) transformation from natural caring to ethical caring involving moral conflicts between personal aspirations and family responsibilities; (2) tension between justice ethics emphasizing fair distribution of responsibilities and care ethics prioritizing relationships and contextual responsiveness; (3) construction of caregiving mental models as obligatory pedagogy learned through direct experience and critical reflection. Laurens' slow-burn directorial approach presents emotional complexity through expressive close-ups and visual compositions reflecting family dynamics. This research contributes to integrating three analytical frameworks and provides practical implications for family caregiver support policies in Indonesia, including formal recognition of informal caregiving burden, culturally sensitive intervention programs, and moral education integrating care values.
