Abstract

This study aims to explain the use of humor by Indonesian presidents for political communication. Presidents’ use of humor is an interesting phenomenon, given that they are social subjects who wield great power within a country. Their social position leads to different characteristics and social impacts due to the humor used. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data was collected from books, news sites, and YouTube channels documenting the humor of the three Indonesian presidents. Data were then analyzed using pragmatic analysis. The results show that presidential humor varies according to personal preferences, speech objectives, and contexts. Presidents use joke, conversational humor, and pun to joke, tease, praise, satirize, criticize, and delegate power. Joking, teasing, and praising are used on friends and political allies. Meanwhile, satirizing and criticizing are applied to political opponents. Humor is a middle ground for presidents, enabling them to achieve speech objectives without explicitly expressing their intention. Politically, humor functions to (1) represent oneself positively and represent opponents negatively, (2) build relationships and positioning with opponents and allies, and (3) exercise control and discipline. However, the relationship between form, style, and illocutionary of presidential humor is often ambiguous. Such conditions seem related to political relations' dynamic and equal nature, where friends and foes are not always crystal clear.

Abstract

Language is pivotal in fulfilling human communicative needs, such as transactional and interactional functions. In the latter function, language is employed, one of which is to build social and personal attitudes, or so-called poetic or imaginative function.  Such functions can be accessed through songs or song lyrics. Motivated by the previous argument, this paper aims to describe construction types and categories of hyperbolic expressions found in various Indonesian song lyrics, comprising the genres of “kroncong,” “dangdut,” and other popular songs. To provide the evidence, this study collected data from YouTube and carefully examined how the song lyrics involve hyperbolic expressions. The analysis also comprised identifying the types of hyperbolic expressions in terms of their linguistic constructions. Analysis reveals that hyperbole is constructed in either positive or negative sentences, metaphors, superlative, and serial adjectival constructions. Those hyperbolic expressions can at least be classified into five categories, i.e. quantity hyperbole, quality hyperbole, distance hyperbole, time hyperbole, space hyperbole, and action hyperbole. These categories seem to closely relate to the scope of human perceptions about everything they find in the world. They will always have associations with number, state, distance, time, space, and actions anyone can perform. This study concludes the intertwined relationship between language and human behaviors.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the discourse structure, specifically the lexical and grammatical cohesion in the discourse of West Sumatra Province, with a discourse analysis approach. The object of this research is a special regional regulation (SRR) of West Sumatra Province, which is different from Regional Regulation (RR) in other regions in Indonesia, as evident in the use of local concepts and terms. This regulation is interesting to study in cohesion because its structures represent the social reality of the indigenous people’s lives. One notable regulation is Nagari, the lowest government level in West Sumatra Province, with authority to regulate their communities and customary land in the Republic of Indonesia. That social reality is illustrated in the cohesiveness and harmony of the relationships of the forms that construct the discourse. This mixed-method research employs both quantitative and qualitative data and applied lexical and grammatical cohesion theory in data analysis. Findings show that lexical cohesion is realized in the following forms: repetition, synonym, meronymy, hyponym, and collocation; while grammatical cohesion is realized in the form of references, substitutions, and conjunctions. Based on the analysis, lexical and grammatical cohesion are interconnected constituents in building the integrity of the discourse structure in the SRR of West Sumatra Province. Cohesion plays a role in determining the meaning of the discourse as a whole and reflects the coherence of ideational meanings in discourse.
