PERAN LINGUIS DALAM WACANA PENGADILAN: MENGURAI KARAKTERISTIK DAN MAKNA ALTERNATIF UJARAN KEBENCIAN

Amalia Dwi Utami

Abstract


This study aims to discuss the role of pragmatics, which is one of the focuses of forensic linguistic studies, in cases of hate speech in Indonesia. One of the focuses of this study is to explain why speech is categorized as hate speech. Another focus is to provide an understanding that a speech can contain more than one meaning which may not be intended to spread hatred. This study refers to the concept of illocutionary power and perlocutionary action as well as the concept of face threatening action to analyze the characteristics of speech that has the potential to contain hatred or other meanings. The results of this study show that there are characteristics that can be found in hate speech, such as choice of words with negative meanings, dehumanization, association with institutions that have a bad image, and the use of the noun "us vs them".
