The study showed that the campaign posters can be considered as a part of efforts to improve the awareness of freedom, equality, and values comprehensively through multimodal

The development of the internet world is now increasingly widespread and diverse. Information can be immediately obtained. For example, meme content is distributed via social media accounts. Memes are a form of creative ideas that are packed with graphic design and often contain insinuations about something. The purpose of this study is to uncover the signified and signifier, and speeches that appear in memes that are circulating on Fakartun Instagram account regarding the disappointment with the House of Representatives (DPR).

In particular, electronic graphic designs spread from one person to another through social media platforms such as Instagram. These memes represent some people’s anxiety about the revised bills. This study relies on Roland Barthes’s semiotic approach which is the development of Ferdinand De Saussure’s semiotic theory and the illocutionary act of Searl. The results of this study suggest that the memes merged as a form of reaction to the disappointment of citizens over the revision of the bills. Keywords: semiotic-pragmatics, illocutionary acts, representations, meme

A slip of the tongue is one of the speech errors that often encounter in everyday life. Many people may have experienced this phenomenon either consciously or not.

The transcriptions of the three videos became the source of the data. The study uses the theory from Garrett (1975) about the process of the articulatory program and Clark and Clark (1977) about types of slips of the tongue and factors of speech error. This study also uses the theory from Carroll (1986) about other types of slips of the tongue which are addition and deletion to analyze the data.

PROMOTING ECOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN METAL GEAR SOLID V: SOCIAL SEMIOTIC APPROACH

Video game is a new media of telling stories to young people and adults and it is no longer seen as gameplay only but gameplay with story. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain took Cold War as the main story background tells the story differently. The game system of this video game offers freedom to players to interact with anything during the gameplay, but this freedom has consequences. Applying social semiotic approach, this paper aims to identify how appraisal theory and narrative representation can be used to promote ecological awareness. After observing, collecting and viewing, transcribing and analyzing multimodal data, the researchers find that killing non-playable characters in form of human and animals and even enemy will reduce the score which is important in developing the playable characters’ weapons and equipment. Adopting the theory from Martin White in appraisal theory and Kress and van Leewuen, Caple in narrative representation, this paper also finds that appraisal theory is used to guide the players to play in ethical way such as using non-lethal weaponry, capturing wild animals to protect them from war, and collecting medical plants as needed only, besides, the enemy soldiers can be hired and give beneficial results to the players when they are used to play. In narrative representation, the freedom of choices is designed to make ethical play more plausible

DECODING SOCIO-COGNITIVE ELEMENTS IN INDONESIAN ONLINE NEWS: A SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL MULTIMODAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

This study explores the representation of socio-cognitive components in Indonesian political multimodal news text using the framework of Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA). With the increasing prominence of multimedia in contemporary news production, understanding how socio-cognitive aspects are conveyed through multiple modes becomes essential. Drawing on SF-MDA, which combines systemic functional linguistics and multimodal analysis, the study examines how Indonesian political news texts incorporate social and cognitive elements to shape meaning and influence audience perceptions. This study was undertaken qualitatively involving three online news published by Indonesia’s publishers as the data. The result reveals that the visual and verbal modes merged in the news tend to highlight the good image of the political figures. It means that the meanings of visual and verbal components of the news persuasively work together to create the good impressions among readers to the human actor in the news. As the implication, multimodal resources are strategically employed to shape public opinion and promote specific political ideologies. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the development of critical media literacy and foster a more nuanced understanding of the socio-political dynamics in contemporary Indonesia

PROSIDING SEMINAR TAHUNAN LINGUISTIK UNIVERSITAS PENDIDIKAN INDONESIA (SETALI 2017): Language Policy and Language Planning: Nationalism and Globalization (Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, 10 – 11 Agustus 2017)

eminar Tahunan Linguistik 2017 kali ini bertemakan “Language Policy and Language Planning: Nationalism and Globalization”. Ada sekitar 100 (seratus) makalah terpilih yang dimuat dan akan dibentangkan dalam Setali 2017 kali ini. Makalah-makalah yang terhimpun dalam prosiding ini telah diseleksi melalui proses dan pertimbangan yang cukup cermat. Dalam konteks global, politik bahasa dan perencanaan bahasa di Indonesia tidak sekadar diarahkan pada pengelolaan bahasa yang dipilih dan direncanakan untuk diajarkan dan dipelajari di sekolah saja (perencanaan akuisisi). Bagi bangsa Indonesia ada semacam refleksi tentang kejadian politik dan proses sosial yang mengarahkan politik bahasa dan perencanaan bahasa sebagai instrumen untuk mengukuhkan kedaulatan berbahasa bagi penutur bahasa Indonesia, yaitu memuliakan bahasa Indonesia di tanahnya sendiri sebagai bahasa persatuan, bahasa keagamaan, bahasa kebudayaan, bahasa pendidikan, bahasa teknologi, bahasa politik, dan banyak yang lainnya. Sekalipun politik dan perencanaan bahasa merupakan kajian yang relatif baru berkembang dalam jagat linguistik, namun sebagai kegiatan informal politik dan perencanaan bahasa memainkan peranan penting dalam distribusi kekuatan dan sumber daya di semua lapisan masyarakat. Politik dan perencanaan bahasa merupakan bagian integral dari sekian banyak aktivitas politik yang pantas untuk dipelajari secara eksplisit dari sudut pandang politik dan kebahasaan. Dengan rasional seperti itulah tema Setali 2017 kami pertimbangkan untuk dipilih. Politik dan perencanaan bahasa adalah rangkaian kegiatan yang sangat kompleks yang melibatkan adanya persilangan dua tema besar yang sangat berbeda dan berpotensi bertentangan, yaitu politik dan bahasa. Jika kita memulainya dari titik perbedaan yang luas, yaitu antara sistem yang dirancang dan sistem yang berkembang, maka perencanaan bahasa berarti mengenalkan proses desain dan fitur desain ke dalam sistem, dalam hal ini bahasa, yang secara alami berkembang (Halliday 2001: h.177). Dalam pandangan saya, hal yang dinyatakan Halliday itu sangat relevan dengan pekerjaan besar kita, yaitu bagaimana mengenalkan proses desain dan fitur desain ke dalam sistem bahasa Indonesia yang diakui dan berfungsi secara global. Akhirnya, dengan memohon petunjuk dan keridhoan Allah Swt., saya berharap agar penyelenggaraan Setali 2017 ini dapat berjalan dengan tertib dan lancar. Selain itu, saya pun berharap semoga dokumentasi akademik seperti ini dapat memberikan kontribusi nyata bagi perkembangan Linguistik di Indonesia. Dalam kesempatan ini, saya merasa perlu untuk mengucapkan terima kasih kepada para pihak yang telah turut serta membantu terlaksananya Setali 2017 ini berjalan dengan baik. Selamat berseminar
