GRAMATIKA DALAM WACANA KONFLIK KPK VS POLRI JILID II (Gramatika in the Discourse of Conflict between Corruption Eradication Comission (KPK) Vs Indonesian National Police (Polri) Part II)

Abstract

Language is used by a person, group, or institution for its purposes. Such interests are hidden in the lingual features. One of them in grammar. It also appears in editorial published by Suara Merdeka newspaper in discussing the conflict of KPK vs Police part II. This paper discusses how the perspective of Suara Merdeka is in conflict between KPK vs Police part II by using critical discourse analysis model Norman Fairclough. Based on the grammatical using of transitivity, nominalization, passive active-passive choice, positive-negative sentence choice, and modality the editor of Suara Merdeka place the institution of KPK as the victim (the wrong party). On the contrary, on the other side, the editor describes the position of the Police as the dominating party and marginalizing the president's position in the conflict. Thus, the perspective of Suara Merdeka in KPK vs Police Volume II conflict tends to favor to the institution of KPK.
