THE ART OF RHETORIC USING STYLISTIC DEVICES IN WORLD UNIVERSITIES DEBATING CHAMPIONSHIP: A Study of Pragmatics

Debating is recognized as a way of doing persuasion in speech that deals with four points of debate pillars, for instance: assertion, reasoning, evidence, and link back. There are two formats on parliamentary debating competitions; Asian and British.

APPLICATION OF PERFORMATIVE CONCEPT ON ENGLISH LEGAL DOCUMENTS: A STUDY OF PRAGMATICS

The legal documents contain statements binding between several parties involved in the issues listed in the document. Prenuptial agreement, power of attorney to a case, insurance payments, inheritance issues are commonly discussed in terms of a legal document. In linguistics, there is a terminology known by performative utterances. Performative concept is one example of application of language use through legal documents as a media. The concept is mentioned by Austin (1962:6). The naming comes from the verb 'perform' or refers to the noun 'action', it is said that the word refers to a speech that shows the performance or action. Performative utterance , or sometimes just simply mentioned ‘performative’ has characters : first person singular subject and followed performative verbs in active present form (1962:5).Performative cannot be regarded as right or wrong statements, but it refers to appropriate or inappropriate, legitimate or illegitimate contents of statements. Performative utterances can be explicit and implicit. Implicit performative is performative utterances with performative verbs but they are not explicitly stated. On implicit performative, conversational context greatly affects assuming the performative verb that appears. This research will try to explain the form of performative and pragmatic mechanism on the legal documents. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive and this research is expected to contribute in application of linguistics, especially pragmatics

Use of implicit performative utterances at University of Padjadjaran and at University of Pennsylvania

The use of implicit performative utterances can be found in some announcements at Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) in Bandung, Indonesia and at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) in Philadelphia, U. S. A. In linguistics, there is a form of speech known as performative utterances (Austin, 1962). The word comes from the verb ‘perform’ and refers to the noun ‘action’; it is said that the word refers to a speech for performance or action. Performatives cannot be regarded as right or wrong statements, but refer to appropriate or inappropriate, legitimate or illegitimate actions. Implicit performatives are performative utterances with performative verbs but they are not explicitly stated. With an implicit performative, the sentence does not have an explicit performative verb, but it has illocutionary force which is known from the context. Knowing the context, the hearer assumes the performative verb that appears. The use of this kind of utterances in notices at Unpad and at UPenn is quite different. This paper examines the differences and the similarities between the announcements at Unpad and at UPenn which use implicit performative utterances

COHESION AND COHERENCE IN ARTICLES ABOUT PTNBH IN UNPAD’S WEBSITE: A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS STUDY

PTNBH (Perguruan Tinggi Negeri Badan Hukum/Corporate University) is an independent status of universities that have their own authority. Many internal system of universities are undergoing changes, but these changes provide an opportunity for universities to improve their quality. Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) inaugurated the change of status to corporate university (PTNBH) in January 2017. The change was officially marked through the signing of declaration by the Minister of Research and Technology. The event is written in an article published in www.unpad.ac.id. The article is considered as important news relating to the topic and it influences the appeareance of time in website. In article or discourse,cohesion is the relationship between sentences in a discourse, both grammatically and lexically. Using good cohesion, a speaker or writer will be able to produce good discourse. This study will look at (1) how lexical cohesive devices appear in this article and then see (2) whether the lexical cohesive devices affect the number of readers of the article. This underlies the selection of research objects that are closely related to the change of Unpad status to PTNBH. Halliday and Hasan use cohesion to refer to relations of meaning that define it as a text (1976: 4). The definition is thus a semantic one, and like all the components of the semantic system, cohesion is realized through grammar and vocabulary. According to Halliday and Hasan, cohesion can be divided into grammatical and lexical cohesion. Grammatical cohesion includes devices such as reference, substitution, ellipsis and conjunction, while lexical cohesion is divided into reiteration (repetition, synonymy etc.) and collocation (co-occurrence of lexical items). The result of this study will give recommendation to Unpad website maintainers relating to writing style in news

In other words, based on the analysis of MOU Helsinki, their position is adequate

Negative Representation of Assad’s Regime in CNN Online Articles

This research article discusses the use of chemical weapons in Syria. This study discusses the representation of Assad’s regime in two CNN articles since there is an assumption that Assad’s regime and its alliances are the responsible ones for the chemical weapon issue in Syria. The data is analyzed through Critical Discourse Analysis by Van Dijk as the grand theory so that it is examined by using macro and micro level analysis. This study shows that these articles present the negative representation of Assad’s regime. It can be seen from the negative lexical choices which are used by the writers to describe Assad’s regime and it also can be seen from the writers attempts to present the US’s arguments by trying to legitimize it by frequently using verbal reaction in schematic analysis and the writers of the articles also struggle to hide another version of truth which stated that the responsible one for the use of chemical weapon in Syria is the rebels group

Meme as political criticism towards 2019 Indonesian general election: A critical discourse analysis

This study aims to investigate the memes created by Nurhadi-Aldo, a fictional presidential candidate. Data is collected from Nurhadi-Aldo’s Instagram profile. The descriptive qualitative approach was used and the sampling procedure carried out was purposive sampling. To analyze the data and to uncover the hidden values, the three-dimension analysis proposed by Fairclough (2001) was used. The first dimension was textual analysis where the textual and visual sign of the presidential memes were examined. The second dimension was the analysis of the discursive practice surrounding the production of Nurhadi-Aldo memes. And the last was the sociocultural practice analysis that deals with how Indonesian internet users reacted to this viral phenomenon. The result points out that the memes represent the visualization of public social critics toward a political condition in Indonesia. With regards to the content creator, Nurhadi-Aldo’s memes further indicate the scepticism value of Indonesian youth. These findings further confirm that the function of the meme is not limited to entertainment purpose only, but also to deliver political criticism. Hence, it is expected that the findings will give more insights into how certain values can be delivered through the use of everyday text, such as memes
