Abstract

In the 2024 Presidential Debate, Prabowo Subianto (PS) attracted public attention not only due to his political profile and electability, but also because of his rhetorical delivery in presenting his national vision and mission. This study analyzes the persuasive power of rhetorical elements in a five-minute speech segment delivered by PS during the vision and mission session. Grounded in Aristotle’s classical rhetorical theory, the research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach supported by critical discourse analysis. The findings reveal that PS employed the three rhetorical appeals: logos, ethos, and pathos, in a balanced and strategic manner. This suggests a mature rhetorical style and an effective adaptation to the communicative demands of electoral democracy. Furthermore, this study contributes to Southeast Asian rhetorical and political discourse studies by highlighting how classical rhetorical strategies remain relevant and impactful in contemporary political communication. In addition, the findings hold pedagogical significance for higher education, particularly in the teaching of language, communication, and civic education. The rhetorical strategies observed in PS’s speech can serve as authentic learning materials for developing students’ rhetorical awareness, critical thinking, and public speaking skills, especially within the framework of democratic engagement and media literacy.

Abstract

This study investigates the perlocutionary acts of Walid, a central character in the Indonesian film Bid'ah Cinta. It focuses on how his utterances not only function as commands or instructions but also help build ideological and moral authority. Using a pragmatic approach based on Speech Act Theory—particularly J.L. Austin’s concept of perlocutionary acts—the research analyzes selected dialogues to identify the power dynamics and ideological messages embedded in Walid’s speech. The analysis shows that Walid’s language influences other characters psychologically and morally. It portrays him as a dominant figure who shapes beliefs and behaviors. These findings have meaningful implications for language and literature education. They highlight the value of teaching students to recognize how language in literary texts reflects and reinforces social values. Integrating film dialogue analysis into the classroom can enhance students’ pragmatic skills, critical thinking, and appreciation of context in communication.
