Abstract

The Indonesian government has come under intense scrutiny for its actions in the agrarian conflict in Rempang Island, Batam City, Riau Islands Province. The conflict was triggered by the government's forced relocation of the Rempang Island community in the context of the Rempang Eco City development funded by a foreign investor, Xinyi Group. The incident captured the attention of the public and the media due to the large scale of the case. This research aims to see how the Indonesian government is represented in the Indonesian news media regarding the discourse of the Rempang Island case. This research uses the theory of Critical Discourse Analysis initiated by Fairclough (1995) and Transitivity by Halliday (2014). The method used in this research is content analysis method to elaborate the image constructed by the media against the Indonesian government. The data in the study amounted to six data taken from Tempo.co media, and Batamnow.com which were analyzed through three stages, namely textual, discourse practices, and socio-cultural practices. The results showed that the Indonesian government was represented negatively by labeling it as the party that violated human rights and the perpetrator of crimes against humanity.

Abstract

This study explored the use of evaluative language in the speech of investigators and suspects during police interrogations at a district police department in Indonesia. The study aimed to analyze how interpersonal strategies were realized by the police as interrogators and suspects during interrogations. To achieve these objectives, the research applied appraisal theory within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) to identify and examine the language of evaluation. The data for the study were derived from conversations between police interrogators and suspects. The analysis involved segmenting the interrogation texts into units of utterances. There were 1320 utterances of 5 suspects analyzed in this study. These utterances were then systematically categorized based on the appraisal system's categories. Specifically, the analysis focused on the appraisal system's engagement dimension, examining the realization of monoglosss and heterogloss. The findings revealed that the expression of engagement was predominantly characterized by heterogloss, primarily conveyed by the interrogator. The findings indicated that during the interrogation process, the police increased control, reduced space for the suspect's perspective, introduced bias in information gathering, and emphasized a clearer power dynamic, which can impact the validity and ethics of the interrogation. The findings contributed to forensic linguistics practice to create opportunities for more cooperative interactions, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of information elicitation.
