ABSTRACT

Today the Indonesia’s new capital relocation got a big attention not only from Indonesian media but also from foreign media. This descriptive study aims at describing the attitude of foreign media discussing Indonesia’s new capital relocation. The data of the study were linguistic features such as attitudinal lexis, phrases, and metaphors that reflecting attitude. The data were collected from news texts about Indonesia’s new capital from three big foreign media, those were ABC, BBC, and VOA. The data were analysed with appraisal approach to find out their attitude toward Indonesia’s new capital relocation. This results of the study showed that there were 19 affect evaluation, 27 judgment evaluation, and 97 appreciation evaluation. Then, negative evaluation dominated the attitude targeted to the bad condition, both the new capital considered not ready to use and the old capital considered no longer appropriate to use. It seemed that BBC, ABC, VOA tried to be fair to evaluate INC and Jakarta. However, the bigger frequency of positive evaluation targeted to INC indicated that there was a tendency for foreign mass media to support INC.
