| dc.description.abstract | This article presents the linguistic phenomena in the text of Suharto’s cases both
by the pros and cons sides. The texts are taken from internet accessed on May 30.
2008. The analysis used is referring to Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis: phenomenology-
interpretative and the combination of both qualitative and quantitative
approaches. However, the analysis applies Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar,
especially in the system of its transitivity. The result shows that there is a
contradictory in the act sequence between the pros and cons sides. The pros texts
are more humane than the cons ones. Moreover, the pros genres are narrative and
recount, and they tend to be emosional, while the cons one is report and tends to be
rational. The ideology within the pros text is humanism and feudalism, while within
the cons one is democratism/equality. | en_US |
