Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s Sharia fintech sector must reconcile religious normativity, financial intermediation, technological innovation, and consumer risk within a regulatory environment where only a small subset of licensed providers is classified as Sharia-based. Objective: This study examines how official Indonesian fintech communication constructs Sharia compliance as religious, institutional, technological, and financial legitimacy. Method: Using a qualitative corpus-assisted critical discourse design, this study analyses 19 publicly accessible documents issued between 2018 and 2026 by ALAMI, Ammana, Dana Syariah, OJK, DSN-MUI, Bank Indonesia, and AFTECH through lexical, legitimation, and multimodal interface analysis. Results: Findings show that Sharia legitimacy is primarily authorised through regulatory references, fatwas, ethical vocabulary, and named contracts, although detailed contractual explanation is less frequent than broad institutional alignment. Technological legitimacy is produced through claims of digital readiness, accessibility, efficiency, innovation, and transaction traceability, but concrete descriptions of technical safeguards remain comparatively limited. Implication: Trust is constructed alongside risk disclosure, creating a conditional legitimacy in which platforms promise transparency and inclusion while assigning users responsibility for prudent financial judgement. Novelty: This study contributes a multidimensional account of Sharia fintech discourse by demonstrating that compliance is communicatively assembled through intertwined religious authority, technological rationalisation, institutional recognition, and managed consumer risk within Indonesia’s rapidly evolving digital financial ecosystem today.

Abstract

Background: Central-bank communication increasingly governs expectations through forecasts, conditional projections, and policy signals, while artificial intelligence expands the capacity to classify and compare such language across heterogeneous monetary regimes. Objective: This study examines how central banks in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines construct economic futures, authorise policy judgement, and become analytically legible through AI-assisted textual modelling. Method: A comparative corpus-assisted discourse design analyses fourteen official English-language policy communications using predictive-language annotation, communicative-power coding, normalised institutional profiles, cosine similarity, concordance checking, and human validation. Results: Predictive discourse consistently combined epistemic modality, temporal projection, and inflation alignment, although quantification, conditionality, directional risk, and forecast revision varied across institutions. Communicative authority emerged through different configurations: Bank Indonesia foregrounded policy commitment and exchange-rate stability, MAS emphasised numerical forecasting and recalibration, BNM contextualised projections through broader macroeconomic conditions, and BSP combined formal decisions with forecast monitoring. Implication: Computational comparison identified substantial but incomplete institutional convergence, demonstrating that shared monetary vocabulary did not erase differences in mandate, genre, or policy orientation. Novelty: This study contributes an integrated account of predictive authority by linking linguistic futurity, institutional performativity, and explainable AI, while treating computational outputs as interpretive evidence requiring contextual and human scrutiny across linguistically and institutionally differentiated Southeast Asian monetary systems

Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s poverty-policy discourse increasingly translates inequality into administrative categories, yet less is known about how welfare keywords govern public understandings of poverty, responsibility, and deservingness. Objective: This study examines how Indonesian welfare discourse constructs poverty as a policy object through recurring keywords, moral-economy frames, and discursive-governance mechanisms. Method: Using a corpus-assisted critical discourse design, this study analyses 31 public and verifiable documents comprising official policy texts, statistical communications, academic sources, and contextual media or institutional materials. Results: Welfare vocabulary is dominated by targeting, data integration, social assistance, poverty reduction, empowerment, vulnerability, and inequality, showing that poverty is linguistically stabilized before it becomes administratively actionable. Results: Moral-economy framing positions poor citizens simultaneously as vulnerable beneficiaries, verifiable recipients, and productive subjects expected to move toward self-reliance. Results: Discursive governance operates through datafication, beneficiary selection, institutional coordination, delivery accountability, risk protection, and developmental inclusion. Implication: These findings suggest that welfare language is not secondary communication about policy but part of policy governance itself. Novelty: This study contributes a tripartite analytical model that integrates keyword mapping, moral-economy analysis, and governance coding to explain how inequality is talked into policy in Indonesia

Abstract

Background: Inflation in Indonesia increasingly appears not only as a macroeconomic indicator but also as an everyday social experience through which households narrate food prices, wages, transport costs, savings, and domestic uncertainty. Objective: This study examines how Indonesian social media users construct inflation as household anxiety and economic meaning-making in public digital discourse. Method: This study employs corpus-assisted discourse analysis, affective appraisal, and narrative attribution on 31 public discourse items consisting of primary social media texts, secondary media materials, and official contextual documents. Results: Inflation talk is dominated by staple-food pressure, price memory, and urban affordability frames, showing that users interpret price movement through concrete household objects rather than technical economic vocabulary. Household anxiety appears through income adequacy, food-security concern, savings erosion, mobility pressure, and moral irritation. Digital meaning-making emerges through practical adjustment, peer advice, blame attribution, spatial comparison, and simplified macroeconomic explanation. Implication: This study demonstrates that online inflation talk functions as an informal arena where households translate economic instability into shared vocabularies of survival, distrust, and practical reasoning. Novelty: This study advances inflation discourse research by shifting focus from institutional policy communication to household-centered digital interpretation in Indonesia.
Buy now, worry later: pay-later advertising, consumer desire, and the linguistic normalization of debt in Indonesia Suaidi

Abstract

Background: Pay-later advertising in Indonesia has become a prominent site where digital retail, consumer credit, and platform persuasion converge, yet its linguistic role in making debt appear ordinary remains insufficiently examined. Objective: This study examines how Indonesian pay-later advertising frames deferred payment as desire, convenience, access, and financially acceptable consumption. Method: This study applies corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis to 18 primary public advertising and product texts, supported by secondary and regulatory contextual materials, using lexical framing, pragmatic-semiotic analysis, and risk-visibility audit. Results: Promotional discourse is dominated by savings-oriented and immediacy-oriented frames that foreground “0%,” flexibility, and present access while reducing the salience of repayment obligation. Debt is further softened through burden-reduction wording, platform legitimacy, and aspirational displacement that make borrowing appear compatible with smart, modern, and routine consumption. Risk-related information is unevenly visible, with cost and tenor more prominent than penalty, default, and explicit debt naming. Implication: These findings show that BNPL advertising should be evaluated not only as marketing, but also as financial discourse that shapes consumer understandings of obligation. Novelty: This study offers a discourse-based model for explaining how pay-later promotion normalizes debt through the interaction of desire, temporality, and selective risk visibility.

Abstract

Background: Indonesian digital marketplaces have become crucial arenas where informal selling, platform visibility, and class aspiration are linguistically organized through entrepreneurial vocabularies of access, flexibility, and success. Objective: This study examines how public marketplace-related discourse reframes survival-oriented informal labor as entrepreneurial hustle, self-improvement, and upward mobility. Method: Using a qualitative corpus-assisted critical discourse design, this study analyzes 49 public text units from Indonesian marketplace, government, and business-information sources through lexical-framing analysis, risk-obscuration mapping, and platform visibility governance mapping. Results: Findings show that entrepreneurial opportunity discourse dominates the corpus, positioning marketplace participation as access to buyers, expansion, and scalable business possibility. Risk is rarely foregrounded as insecurity; instead, it is reorganized through language of low capital, manageable fees, seller learning, promotion, and flexibility. Platform visibility emerges as a governing mechanism that encourages sellers to become data-responsive, promotional, and continuously adaptable economic subjects. Implication: This study demonstrates that marketplace discourse matters because it makes informal labor socially intelligible as ambition while softening dependence on platform infrastructures. Novelty: This study contributes a discourse-based perspective to Indonesian platform labor research by showing how hustle, survival, and aspiration converge within marketplace language.

Abstract

Background: Economic inequality in Indonesia is increasingly mediated through public language, where statistics, media narratives, and emotional vocabularies determine how injustice becomes socially recognizable. Objective: This study examines how Indonesian media and public-facing discourse frame economic inequality, organize public emotion, and construct economic justice. Method: This study applies qualitative corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis to 36 publicly verifiable media, institutional, civil-society, and scholarly documents, with 16 primary texts coded for framing, affective register, and justice vocabulary. Results: Inequality is most frequently framed through administrative-statistical narrowing, which makes distributional imbalance measurable but can soften moral conflict. Public emotion is organized through technocratic reassurance, anxiety, grievance, vulnerability, cynicism, and solidarity, showing that inequality is not only reported but affectively regulated. Economic justice is articulated through measurable equity, inclusive prosperity, spatial justice, labour dignity, anti-elite accountability, and risk-sensitive protection, revealing competing moral grammars of fairness and responsibility. Implication: These findings show that inequality discourse can clarify public problems while also limiting how suffering, blame, and redistribution are speakable. Novelty: This study advances Indonesian economic discourse research by integrating media framing, affective silence, and justice-vocabulary analysis within one coherent methodological model.

Abstract

Background: Indonesian public discourse increasingly frames livelihood not only as employment or income, but as a moral field where work, dignity, vulnerability, protection, and deservingness are publicly evaluated. Objective: This study examines how Indonesian public discourse constructs the moral grammar of livelihood and asks how vulnerable workers are represented through vocabularies of dignity, protection, responsibility, and economic risk. Method: This study applies corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis to 19 empirical public discourse items, comprising 13 primary documents and 6 contextual documents, supported by secondary scholarship on Indonesian economic discourse, precarity, moral economy, and labour dignity. Results: Livelihood discourse is organized through five moral grammars: decent-work norms, protection-as-duty, recognition of contribution, measurement-as-governance, and care-and-obligation. Vulnerability is most frequently aligned with informality and social protection, indicating that dignity becomes legible when workers are classified as informal, protected, eligible, or deserving. Responsibility is distributed across state institutions, public media, legal-statistical bodies, platform actors, international labour norms, and faith-based welfare, producing recognition while fragmenting accountability. Implication: These findings show that moral language can humanize vulnerable workers while also making insecurity administratively manageable and socially tolerable. Novelty: This study reframes Indonesian economic discourse by conceptualizing livelihood as moral grammar rather than a neutral labour-market category.
