Abstract

Verbs are vital in political news for representing actions and shaping events, yet previous research rarely analyzes their morphological, semantic, and syntactic aspects comprehensively. This study examines these integrated dimensions using a qualitative content analysis approach. The data consists of 92 verbs extracted from the political news text “Violence by Authorities Is Not Easily Resolved,” published in Kompas (April 16, 2026). Data were collected via observation and note-taking. The results show that the verbs comprise base and inflected forms, convey meanings of action, process, state, and attitude, and consistently function as sentence predicates. By integrating morphological, semantic, and syntactic analysis, this study contributes a holistic framework, concluding that verbs play a central role in constructing structure and meaning in political news reporting.
