CONSTRUCTION OF LEADERSHIP DISCOURSE DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN JAKARTA

Diah Merrita

Sari


Using discourse analysis, this study aims at investigating construction of leadership discourse of the Jakarta Governor’s utterances who served from 2017—2022 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using Van Dijk’s notion of propositions, one article of online newspaper articles published in 2020 is studied. The construction encompasses eight macro propositions obtained from the relation among micro propositions. The micro propositions in his speech also lead to the findings that they are dominantly classified into a directive type of illocutionary act which functions to order. Another type found is assertive which functions to inform the current situation, affirm his proposition, and express his opinion.

Keywords: Covid-19 Pandemic; Illocutionary Act; Leadership, Proposition
