ILLOCUTIONARY ACT ANALYSIS OF JOKOWI THREE PERIODS ON CNBC NEWS 2022: CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

Abstract

This paper discusses the highly controversial issue of postponing the 2024 elections. The postponement of the election was replaced with the discourse of extending President Joko Widodo's leadership term. The major objective of this study is to categorize various illocutionary acts and provide a concise description of how they are used by speakers in CNBC news content. In this investigation, the author uses descriptive qualitative research techniques to collect and dissect information from writing with the title "Dokumen Indonesia Maju Bocor, Benarkah Jokowi 3 Periode?". The analysis of the data revealed that the language employed by speakers in CNBC news predominantly consists of representative speech acts across three terms. These categories encompass representative, directive, commissive, declarative, and expressive elements within the news discourse. The researcher also found that speakers used 40% representative, 20% commissive, 20% expressive, 10% directive, and 10% declarative in the news. In addition, the speakers' speech in the news is explained from the five categories that most of the speakers use: representative, commission, and expressive. However, the three-period issue has a lot of unfavorable implications for President Jokowi because it can create unwanted chaos in the political environment for those who agree or disagree with the issue.
