Abstract

This study examines the stylistic differences between buzzer and non-buzzer hate comments on Prabowo’s Instagram posts during the 2024 Indonesian presidential election campaign. The objective is to identify distinct linguistic features used by buzzers and ordinary users in expressing hate or criticism. This qualitative descriptive research applies Searle’s Speech Act Theory and a comparative stylistic analysis. Data were collected from Instagram using manual classification and analyzed based on five speech act categories. The findings show that buzzer comments are typically short, slogan-like, emotionally charged, and repetitive, dominated by assertive speech acts. In contrast, non-buzzer comments are more varied in tone and form, reflecting personal opinion, satire, and critical reflection. This study concludes that buzzer discourse tends to serve persuasive and propagandistic purposes, while non-buzzer discourse reflects more authentic and individual political expression.

Abstract

This study investigates the authenticity of Mahira Dinabila’s suicide note using an exploratory stylometric approach with R Stylo. Mahira, a university student in Indonesia, was found dead in 2023 alongside a letter identified as a suicide note, which was later questioned by her family due to inconsistencies in linguistic style and handwriting. While initial forensic examination focused solely on graphological analysis, this research aims to explore the linguistic characteristics of the letter to determine whether it aligns with authentic suicide note patterns. Using a corpus of 20 verified suicide notes from Indonesian university students, this study applies computational stylometry via R Stylo, focusing on MFW, z-score normalization, and Classic Delta distance measures. Findings reveal that Mahira’s suicide note lacks emotional elements typically present in genuine suicide notes. Instead, the note is highly structured and dominated by time markers, suggesting narrative planning rather than emotional spontaneity. The contrast between Mahira’s suicide note and the reference corpus underscores the value of stylometric features in distinguishing textual authenticity. This study contributes to forensic linguistics through computational stylometry by demonstrating how linguistic features can provide measurable indicators for verifying the authenticity of emotionally charged personal documents, particularly in contexts where conventional forensic methods may fall short.

Abstract

In the digital age, online news platforms significantly shape public opinion, especially during political campaigns. However, little attention has been given to how linguistic and ideological strategies in online journalism construct meanings that influence democratic perception. This study investigates how Kompas, CNN Indonesia, and BBC News construct public opinion during the 2024 Indonesian presidential campaign using Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Through qualitative analysis, the study examines textual, discursive, and sociocultural dimensions to reveal how media discourse emphasizes campaign scale, continuity, and spectacle over substantive policy debates. Findings indicate that online news constructs campaigns as performances of mobilization and legitimacy, reinforcing dominant narratives of stability and progress. The study concludes that online news does not merely report politics but actively shapes democratic understanding through linguistic framing and ideological representation.
