Abstract

Formula-E, which was successfully held in Jakarta, Indonesia, gave rise to various reports. This linguistics study aims to analyze the purpose of online media coverage about 'dukungan pemerintah' on the Formula-E event, which took place on Saturday, 4 June 2022. The data  were taken from online media portals Bisnis.com, CNN, Detik, Kompas, Pikiran Rakyat, and Tribunnews. There are 108 articles analyzed in this study. The articles were scrapped from the same day when the Formula E was held. The data that are sentences from the articles were analyzed using a corpus approach to find words 'dukungan’ (support) and 'pemerintah' (government) using concordances. The data discussed using Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis theory to reveal its meaning. The results found that the macrostructure is government support for the 2022 Formula-E. Then the superstructure of the six media uses a framework that matches the title and content. In the microstructure, 'dukungan' and 'pemerintah' concordances were found. Analysis of social cognition found that online media portals show partiality. The media that is most likely to support the government is CNN. It can be seen from the chosen language, which tends to provide evidence that the central government has supported this event. Meanwhile, the media that seemed to criticize the government's support was Tribunnews by presenting the figure of Joko Suranto as one of the Indonesian citizens who sponsored this event rather than central government. The social context to be achieved is that online media tend to show their side with the government by not choosing words that discredit the government.

Abstract

Since the existence of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory by Lakoff and Johnson (2003), many research has focused on how the conceptualization of the abstract domain is represented in a concrete domain. This leads to a realization that metaphor is more than just a poetic device, it can show how a community understands an abstract concept using a more concrete one. In this study, conceptual metaphors of terrorism are investigated to find out how the Indonesian mass media represent it in their publication. The results show that most of the metaphors are conceptually related to LIVING ORGANISM while one being specific to Indonesian culture, which is SHADOW PUPPET. In contrast, there are no violent conceptual metaphors found in the Indonesian mass media, such as TERRORISM IS WAR or DISEASE. This can bring different effects on the readers of mass media, such as psychological and social. Also understanding the conceptual metaphors in mass media can help us understanding the framing of terrorism, in this case, in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study looks at how people talk about blessings, using the lens of cognitive semantics and focusing on metaphors in religious language. The main goal is to pinpoint the key conceptual metaphors behind words related to “blessing,” and to show how these metaphors shape meaning in real contexts. To do this, data from religious texts and contemporary written sources in both Indonesian and English were gathered. Then, using qualitative descriptive methods and conceptual metaphor theory, we sorted out the metaphorical expressions, identified their source and target domains, and checked how often they popped up in different themes. The findings stand out: people often describe blessings using metaphors like wealth, abundance, journey, light, and divine gift. But the most common are BLESSING IS WEALTH and BLESSING IS ABUNDANCE, which tie spiritual value tightly to ideas of material gain or measurable benefit. The patterns aren’t just decorative language; they're fundamental frameworks that guide how believers think and talk about religious concepts. In short, the research shows that metaphor isn’t just fancy phrasing in religious language—it’s central to how people make sense of spiritual ideas, revealing deep, culturally rooted ways of seeing the world.

Abstract

This study addresses the challenge of systematically processing the vast volume of qualitative online reviews, which significantly influence hotel reputations but are prone to researcher bias when analysed manually. The primary goal is to uncover the linguistic patterns of appraisal that shape international guest satisfaction within the Indonesian hospitality context, focusing on how guests evaluate both physical facilities and service performance. The research utilised a corpus-based approach, analysing a dataset of English-language reviews scraped from Booking.com. These data were processed using AntConc software, applying the Appraisal Framework—specifically the dimensions of Attitude, Graduation, and Engagement—to categorise and quantify evaluative tokens. Collocation analysis was further employed to identify the recurring themes and targets of both praise and complaints. The results demonstrate that guest satisfaction is primarily driven by Appreciation of the physical surroundings and Judgement of staff performance. Within the Appreciation dimension, "Overall Impression" and "Comfort" are the leading evaluative targets. In the Judgement dimension, guests are over eleven times more likely to praise staff for Courtesy, such as being "friendly" and "helpful," than for technical Professionalism. Furthermore, the analysis of Graduation reveals a heavy reliance on Force: Intensification to signal maximal commitment to praise. Regarding Engagement, guests frequently use Countering resources (e.g., "but") to present "balanced" reviews that build solidarity with potential readers. The study concludes that while Indonesian hotels excel in interpersonal warmth and emotional labour, managers must prioritise improving operational efficiency and technical professionalism to match global standards. These findings provide a systematic framework for understanding how service quality and physical amenities shape digital reputations in the competitive tourism industry.
