- Abstract
Every action and decision of a government official must be based on the authority that accompanies their position. This obligation contains an implicit meaning of a model of accountability that is inherent in every normative authority. However, the interpretation of Government Officials’ actions, in particular, is always identified with physical actions or bodily movements. Whereas, every physical action cannot separate itself from speech acts. Even a physical action cannot be understood without a verbal and nonverbal communication model. The problem that will be discussed in this study is limited to the question “What is the response of Law Science, especially Administrative Law, to speech acts in a Government Official's action that creates social framing phenomena against one of the other branches of state power?” This article aims to analyze and find a legal accountability model for Government Officials’ actions that exercise hegemony through truth-games by utilizing mass media and social media. This research uses the Legal Reseach by utilizing approaches from the fields of Political and Social Sciences and Linguistics. According to the findings of this research an effort to maintain the government's credibility through framing communication that utilizes mass media and social media applications to attack the Judicial Power stakeholder, which is a form of Illegal Acts by the Ruler.
