Abstract

Background: Today’s political campaigns increasingly rely on multimodal rhetoric to shape public perception and voter behavior through social media platforms. Objective: This study aims to analyze the digital rhetoric strategies of Indonesian presidential candidates Ganjar Pranowo and Anies Baswedan during the 2024 election campaign on Instagram and Twitter. Method: Using a qualitative approach with Critical Multimodal Discourse Analysis (CMDA), the research examined 30–50 official posts per candidate, focusing on visual, textual, and symbolic elements. Results: The results show that Ganjar constructs a populist-technocratic identity through inclusive imagery and civic-nationalist framing, while Anies uses religious and moral narratives to mobilize faith-based voters. Ganjar’s participatory content appeals to affective publics via humor and nostalgia, whereas Anies elicits higher engagement through sermon-like storytelling and visionary rhetoric. These narrative patterns reflect distinct ideological alignments and are shaped by the structural foundations of each candidate’s political-religious coalition. Implication: The findings suggest that digital rhetoric functions not only to inform but also to emotionally mobilize and ideologically position voters within polarized digital communities. Novelty: The novelty of this study is the exploration for ethical and strategic awareness in designing political messages in digitally networked democracies.

Abstract

Background: Disaster communication in multilingual regions of Eastern Indonesia faces challenges due to linguistic diversity and the dominance of national-standard messaging. Objective: This study aims to examine how the use of local languages and culturally embedded signs influences the effectiveness of disaster risk communication in selected high-risk communities. Method: A qualitative approach was employed using semiotic analysis, critical discourse analysis, thematic analysis, and ethnographic content analysis on visual, audio, interview, and community media data. Results: Findings show that disaster messages integrating local language, visual symbolism, and oral narratives significantly enhance clarity, urgency, and trust among recipients. Multimodal communication strategies rooted in cultural familiarity improve comprehension and trigger faster behavioral response during crises. Messages delivered through local media and everyday linguistic expressions are perceived as more legitimate and emotionally resonant than standardized formats. This suggests that localized disaster communication is not only more inclusive but more effective in fostering risk awareness and action. Implications: The study implies that disaster communication policy should institutionalize culturally and linguistically responsive practices to increase resilience and equity in at-risk populations. Novelty: This study offers a novel contribution by integrating multimodal discourse analysis with culturally grounded linguistic practices to demonstrate how localized communication frameworks enhance the effectiveness of disaster risk messaging in multilingual contexts.

Abstract

Background: Indonesian television news operates within a sociolinguistic landscape where standard language ideology often shapes the representation of regional dialects, influencing public perceptions and linguistic equity. Objective: This study aims to examine how language ideologies, framing strategies, and multimodal practices interact to construct the portrayal of the Madurese dialect in provincial news broadcasts. Method: Using a qualitative design, the research integrates Critical Discourse Analysis, Framing Analysis, and Multimodal Discourse Analysis on purposively sampled TVRI Jatim segments containing dialectal speech, captions, and narration. Results: The results show that standard language ideology dominates, with dialects frequently reframed into standardized Indonesian, symbolically linked to rural identity, and commodified as cultural elements. Framing patterns often position dialect use within problem-oriented narratives, attributing socio-economic challenges to linguistic proficiency while offering assimilationist solutions. Multimodal analysis reveals visual and compositional choices that reinforce linguistic hierarchies, with captions simplifying dialectal content and visuals emphasizing traditional settings. Implication: These findings imply that broadcast media must adopt editorial practices that balance communicative clarity with equitable representation, fostering more inclusive and accurate portrayals of linguistic diversity. Novelty: This study contributes to the integration of critical, framing, and multimodal discourse approaches to reveal how standard language ideology systematically mediates and reshapes the representation of regional dialects in Indonesian television news.

Abstract

Background: E-commerce interactions are increasingly shaped by cross-cultural pragmatic differences, even between linguistically related markets such as Indonesia and Malaysia. Objective: This study aims to compare speech acts, politeness strategies, and conversational structures in buyer–seller interactions on Shopee Indonesia and Shopee Malaysia. Method: Using a qualitative comparative discourse analysis, 200 text-based exchanges (100 per country) were examined through Speech Act Theory and Politeness Theory. Results: The findings show that Indonesian sellers favor multi-act turns, directives, and positive-politeness strategies to promote immediacy and solidarity, while Malaysian sellers emphasize repair sequences, commissives, and negative-politeness strategies to ensure precision and professionalism. Additionally, code-switching patterns differ in frequency and function, and automated replies interact with cultural norms differently across contexts. These patterns reveal how platform affordances intersect with socio-cultural communication styles, shaping transactional efficiency and relational outcomes. Implication: The study’s implications highlight the need for culturally adaptive platform design and seller training to optimize customer engagement and trust in cross-border digital commerce. Novelty: This study contributes to comparatively demonstrating how culturally embedded pragmatic norms interact with platform affordances to shape distinct transactional discourse patterns in closely related e-commerce markets.

Abstract

Background: The visibility of minority languages in Indonesia’s urban public spaces reflects complex dynamics of cultural identity, political recognition, and linguistic equity. Objective: This study aims to examine the distribution, symbolic meanings, and power relations embedded in the linguistic landscape of selected Indonesian cities. Method: Employing a qualitative design that integrates Linguistic Landscape Analysis, semiotics, and Critical Discourse Analysis, data were collected through photographic documentation, field observations, municipal policy reviews, and stakeholder interviews. Results: The findings show that Makassar, Bandung, and Kupang exhibit high-visibility and institutionally supported minority language signage, integrating cultural identity with commercial and governance domains. Jayapura’s linguistic presence is dominated by political assertion and artistic expression, while Jakarta and Surabaya show lower visibility, with indigenous languages often confined to informal or peripheral spaces. These patterns indicate that ethnolinguistic vitality, governance frameworks, and socio-political histories strongly influence language placement, symbolic resonance, and public legitimacy. Implication: The study implies that sustainable indigenous language visibility requires not only spatial representation but also systemic policy support and community engagement. Novelty: This study demonstrates how governance structures and ethnolinguistic vitality jointly shape the visibility and symbolic power of minority languages in urban Indonesia through an integrated linguistic landscape, semiotic, and critical discourse perspective.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic required governments worldwide to deliver timely, clear, and persuasive crisis communication to maintain public trust and compliance. Objective: This study aims to examine the lexical patterns, narrative structures, and pragmatic strategies in Indonesian government COVID-19 briefings, focusing on how language was used to manage public understanding and behavior. Method: Using a qualitative corpus-based discourse analysis integrating corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and speech act/politeness theory, the research analyzed transcripts, press releases, and official video subtitles from March 2020 to December 2021. Results: Findings show that the government consistently employed anchor phrases such as protokol kesehatan alongside phase-specific terminology to balance continuity and adaptability. Narrative structures followed a stable Opening–Problem–Policy–Closing format, reinforced by culturally resonant frames like gotong royong and otoritas ilmiah. Pragmatically, directives dominated but were frequently mitigated through positive politeness strategies to preserve solidarity and trust. These results suggest that Indonesia’s crisis communication effectively integrated informational clarity with cultural sensitivity. Implication: The findings have implications for designing culturally adaptive, trust-oriented governmental communication strategies in future public health emergencies. Novelty: This study shows how corpus-driven discourse patterns and culturally embedded pragmatic strategies work together to sustain clarity, trust, and compliance in governmental crisis communication.

Abstract

Background: Synthetic political communication increasingly detaches recognisable voices and embodied identities from biological speakers, complicating how authority, authenticity, and evidentiary credibility are established within platformed electoral environments. Objective: This study examines how AI-generated political communication in Indonesia constructs mediated trust through synthetic voice, multimodal orchestration, disclosure practices, and institutional contestation. Method: A qualitative multimodal corpus design analysed seventeen publicly verifiable documents collected between January 2023 and June 2026, comprising eight primary artefacts, four secondary verification sources, and five institutional context documents through three integrated coding instruments. Results: Findings show that seven primary artefacts combined synthetic speech with recognisable political likenesses, while public or direct address constituted the dominant communicative configuration. Political authority represented the most recurrent trust cue, whereas linguistic revoicing, historical revival, material promises, and apparent private access provided alternative routes to plausibility. Implication: Seven artefacts lacked clear AI disclosure, and every primary case subsequently attracted verification, warning, denial, or documentation from governmental, electoral, journalistic, or fact-checking institutions. Novelty: This study introduces an integrated framework that connects vocal identity, cross-modal congruence, platform affordances, trust cues, disclosure, communicative function, and institutional response, thereby conceptualising mediated trust as a transferable yet contested political resource rather than a measurable audience attitude within contemporary digitally mediated democratic communication systems.

Abstract

Background: Social media platforms increasingly mediate linguistic visibility, yet numerical presence alone cannot reveal whether regional languages receive comparable exposure, functional diversity, or infrastructural support within multilingual digital environments. Objective: This study examines how YouTube structures the visibility of Indonesian, Javanese, and Madurese content through differences in retrieval, thematic distribution, and dominant-language mediation. Method: Using a sequential mixed-method platform-audit design, the study combines a 30-video discovery corpus with controlled visibility auditing, stratified quantitative content analysis, and sociolinguistic domain analysis across six predefined thematic categories. Results: The corpus was numerically balanced across the three languages, but its thematic composition and verification readiness differed substantially. Javanese covered all six thematic categories, Indonesian five, and Madurese four, with Madurese candidates concentrated in humour and news. Linguistic evidence was strongest for Madurese, while Indonesian was frequently inferred as an unmarked default and regional-language content sometimes relied on Indonesian subtitles or translations for wider accessibility. Implication: The findings suggest that platform-based linguistic inequality is based on the interaction of ranked exposure, functional-domain breadth, evidential certainty, and dominant-language mediation rather than as a simple disparity in content counts, thereby. Novelty: The novelty of this study is a replicable framework for examining multilingual visibility without attributing observed differences prematurely to intentional algorithmic suppression at platform scale.

Abstract

Background: Generative artificial intelligence is reshaping news production and public communication by complicating established relations among authorship, credibility, transparency, and institutional responsibility. Objective: This study investigates how Indonesian governmental, regulatory, and media institutions discursively construct authenticity in documents concerning AI-assisted journalism and public communication. Method: Using a qualitative corpus-assisted design, this study analyses fifteen public documents published between 2023 and 2026 through Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, van Leeuwen’s social-actor framework, and multimodal discourse analysis, with metadata, textual evidence, and coding stored in linked datasets. Results: Findings show that authenticity is constructed primarily through institutional authority, human verification, source traceability, ethical disclosure, and professional accountability. Human-centred authenticity dominates journalism-related documents, whereas public-communication texts more frequently combine innovation, partnership, official-data authorization, and risk framing. AI is widely granted productive agency as a tool, collaborator, presenter, or intermediary, but responsibility remains assigned to journalists, media organizations, government institutions, and platform operators. Implication: Contextual variation further indicates that news discourse protects epistemic authority, while governmental communication more readily legitimizes AI as an administrative resource. Novelty: This study contributes a relational model of authenticity that moves beyond binary human–machine authorship by integrating discursive legitimation, distributed agency, institutional context, and multimodal representation within an Indonesian communication setting amid rapid technological institutional change.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s expanding creator economy has transformed YouTube into a commercial arena where multilingual resources mediate communication, identity, visibility, and cultural value across local, national, and transnational audiences. Objective: This study investigates how Indonesian content creators deploy translanguaging to perform multilingual identities while negotiating observable logics of platform capitalism. Method: Using a qualitative digital discourse design, this study integrates translanguaging moment analysis, multimodal discourse analysis, and critical platform analysis across creator videos, transcripts, visual frames, audience responses, platform policies, and publicly visible commercial cues. Results: Findings indicate that lexical insertion, intrasentential movement, regional stylisation, humour, clarification, and audience accommodation constitute prominent communicative resources within Indonesian-dominant discourse. Glocal, cosmopolitan, regional, professional, national, and authentic identities emerge through coordinated relations among language choice, vocal delivery, setting, gesture, editing, subtitles, visual composition, and cultural symbolism. Implication: Multilingual practices also intersect with discoverability framing, engagement prompts, sponsorship integration, audience segmentation, membership promotion, and branded self-presentation, although this study does not infer direct algorithmic causation from these observable correspondences. Novelty: This study contributes a platform-sensitive account of translanguaging by conceptualising multilingual performance as identity labour situated between expressive agency, audience accessibility, cultural authenticity, commercial differentiation, and infrastructural demands for visibility within Indonesia’s increasingly metrics-driven digital cultural economy.
