Abstract

This study aims to examine the discourse construction of the four-island dispute between Aceh and North Sumatra in local media coverage. It employs a critical qualitative descriptive approach using Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis model. The data consist of linguistic elements, including diction, sentence structures, and modality that construct the discourse of the dispute. The data sources are two local media outlets, Aceh Portal and Sumut Pos, with two purposively selected news articles from each, published during May–June 2025, when the issue reached its peak intensity and public attention. Data were collected through close reading and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was conducted through Fairclough’s three dimensions: textual, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice. The findings reveal significant differences in the ideological construction of the dispute between the two media. At the textual level, Aceh Portal tends to frame the dispute as administrative injustice and a struggle to defend historical rights, whereas Sumut Pos represents it as a legitimate and final legal-administrative issue. At the level of discursive practice, these differences are reflected in the selection of perspectives, sources, and patterns of text production. At the sociocultural level, the coverage reflects tensions between state hegemony and regional resistance shaped by historical, political, and economic factors. This study highlights that local media function not merely as channels of information but also as ideological actors in constructing and framing territorial disputes.

Abstract

Persuasive language is widely used in religious discourse on social media to influence public perception and action, particularly in humanitarian issues such as the genocide in Palestine. In this context, rhetorical strategies play a crucial role in shaping support and solidarity. Purpose: This study aims to identify and describe the persuasion strategies employed in religious discourse about the Palestinian genocide on Instagram, and to explain how linguistic techniques construct moral and emotional support for Palestine. Methods: The research adopts a descriptive qualitative design with a critical discourse analysis approach. Data were collected through purposive sampling from 16 images posted on the feeds and stories of six Instagram accounts discussing Palestine. The data consist of phrases and sentence fragments containing persuasive elements. Each item was coded according to Aristotle’s rhetorical strategies (logos, ethos, pathos) and analyzed using linguistic techniques such as repetition, metaphor, synecdoche, irony, and slogan formulation. Results: The study identifies three main persuasion strategies: (1) logos, reflected through evidential claims, rhetorical questions, slogans, repetition, and comparative stylistic devices; (2) ethos, manifested through religious–moral values, irony, metaphors, and sound-play that strengthen the speaker’s credibility; and (3) pathos, expressed through emotional appeals, the synecdoche of “the heart,” and imperative statements encouraging empathy and moral action. Implications: The findings indicate that digital religious discourse significantly contributes to shaping public opinion and strengthening humanitarian advocacy through effective rhetorical strategies. Conclusions: Religious utterances on Instagram combine logic, moral credibility, and emotional appeal to influence audiences. The study recommends further research on digital rhetoric in religious and global conflict discourse.

Abstract

Tujuan – Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap sikap media Republika.co.id dalam memberitakan isu tewasnya Benjamin Netanyahu melalui pendekatan analisis wacana kritis model Norman Fairclough. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kecenderungan media dalam mengonstruksi realitas berdasarkan ideologi tertentu, terutama dalam isu yang sensitif secara politik dan kemanusiaan. Metode – Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif kritis dengan teknik purposive sampling terhadap tiga berita Republika.co.id yang terbit pada Maret 2026. Data berupa pilihan leksikal dan konstruksi kalimat dikumpulkan melalui teknik simak dan catat, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan tiga dimensi Fairclough, yaitu dimensi tekstual, praktik kewacanaan, dan praktik sosiokultural. Temuan – Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada dimensi tekstual, media menggunakan diksi evaluatif seperti penjahat perang, pelaku genosida, dan dalang, serta konstruksi kalimat yang menempatkan Netanyahu sebagai aktor utama dalam berbagai tindakan kekerasan. Pada dimensi praktik kewacanaan, sikap media tampak dari pemilihan dan pengolahan sumber secara selektif serta penyajian informasi yang tetap mempertahankan sudut pandang kritis dalam konteks klarifikasi isu. Pada dimensi praktik sosiokultural, sikap tersebut berkaitan dengan situasi viral di media sosial, karakter institusional media yang nasionalis-religius, serta latar sosial masyarakat Indonesia yang mayoritas Muslim. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberitaan Republika.co.id merefleksikan sikap kritis terhadap Netanyahu dan Israel. Kebaruan – Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pengungkapan sikap media dalam konteks pemberitaan isu kematian tokoh politik global yang bersifat viral. Signifikansi – Penelitian ini bermanfaat bagi kajian linguistik media dan komunikasi, khususnya dalam memahami peran bahasa dalam membentuk representasi dan sikap publik terhadap isu internasional.
