Exploring interpersonal meanings on the discourse of the Indonesian national anthem from the CDA perspectives
Get PDFThis research is aimed at describing how the composer of Indonesia Raya (IR) construed and negotiated interpersonal meanings which represent his ideology to the Indonesians. The data in this qualitative study was the text of IR which is ideologically contested. The study analyzed the lexicogrammar properties dealing with words and structures and production processes. The data were collected by the researcher as the research instrument by using a documentation technique. The procedures of data analysis were conducted following the stages of Faircloughs Critical Discourse Analysis framework (1989), including micro analysis concerning lexical features in the text, meso analysis concerning the process production and interpretation of the text, and macro analysis concerning ideological effects and hegemonic processes in which discourse participates. The attitude system of appraisal was analyzed based on that proposed by Martin and White (2005), and Martin and Rose (2003). The results showed that from the affect viewpoint, the IR composer is seen as an educated young man who witnessed people suffer and did not only express his feeling of joy with the coming independence of Indonesia and the gratefulness, but also the insecurity and anxiety with the possibility of other forms of colonialism. Meanwhile, from the appreciation viewpoint, Indonesia is described as a noble, heredity, sacred, and magical land. Not only is it an expression of his admiration and love, but also it is a warning to maintain his emotional intimacy with the nation. The judgment subcategory illustrated that the Indonesians were mostly emotionally weak. The composer encouraged the Indonesian people to unite for a greater Indonesia

Modality Meanings in Student’s Argumentative Writing
Get PDFThis paper presents some exploratory observations on the use of epistemic and deontic modality in a set of 30 undergraduate students’ argumentative writing as classified by Nuyts (2006) and Bybee (1994). It is important to know the students’ understanding about when to use these expressions through the use of these epistemic and deontic modality expressions because by acknowledging the students’ understanding about them, we as a teacher will realize that our students do understand the use of them or they need better perception about modality meanings. Since the way they apply those expressions in their writing reflect their comprehension about the actual use of these expressions in the English language and culture and the indication that the area students need help with. The study finds that in terms of deontic modality, the students used modality auxiliaries more frequently than to the use of lexical verbs, adverbs, adjectives or multi word units to show modality meanings in their writing while in terms of epistemic, they employed multi word units such as I think, to express modality meaning many more compared to other expressions. These findings show that the students do not know precisely the use and meanings of these expressions so that they continually use the similar expressions in their writings or in other words because of their lack information, they ignore the precise use of these expressions. Therefore, there must be more information about the perceptions of modality expressions and the different meanings that these expressions carry
