- Abstract
Hate speech law cases in Indonesia also involve transgender discourse. Transgender discourse often appears in the form of a lexicon that is used to express swear words. This study aims to identify the lexicon associated with transgender that appears in the case of hate speech law in Indonesia. To get it, the researcher collected data from the Direktori Putusan Mahkamah Agung from 2017–2022 in a documentary manner. The collected data is compiled into a corpus and retrieved with AntConc. From the corpus, the lexicons that often appear are bencong, banci, homo, and wandu. Through the concordance feature, it is identified that the lexicon is often used as a greeting addressed to the speech partner as the victim. In addition, this lexicon also appears as an adjective that comes after the noun. Uniquely, this lexicon is more often aimed at male speech partners who do not have transgender status, while for speech partners who have transgender status, other lexicons appear, namely perek and lonte.
