Abstract

From the title of this thesis: Critical Discourse Analysis of Joko Widodo’s Speech Using Thomas N. Huckin’s Theory, it could be understood that the data used was the speech of Joko Widodo regarding the importance of human resources quality and the plan of the relocation of the capital city. This study focused on explaining the language, power, and ideology used by Jokowi in his speech. This thesis about critical discourse analysis was based on the CDA theory and model by Thomas N. Huckin. Meanwhile, the research method used was descriptive qualitative, which focused on elaborating paragraphs, sentences, and words. Using descriptive qualitative data was a useful way for researchers to know about cases, who participated, what was involved, and when they happened. The elaboration started by analyzing the text as a whole, continued by analyzing sentence-level and word-level, and then analyzed the text in contextual interpretation to determine the correlation between language, power, and ideology. The results showed that the relationships between language, power, and ideology were broadly defined through CDA. From the use of language, the researcher knew the purpose of Jokowi’s speech was the importance of human resources quality and the relocation of the capital city. The power was strongly felt through uttered advices. The ideology was seen from the points conveyed by him that affected the audiences. It could be summarized that the language use involved a specific power and ideology. This implied that the power and the speaker’s intent could be understood from the language used.
