Deixis Analysis of Declaration Speeches of Indonesian Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidates

Abstract

The declaration speeches made by presidential and vice-presidential candidates Prabowo and Gibran became the public spotlight and were widely analyzed by political and linguistic experts. Deixis, in political speeches, can provide contextual information that is important in understanding the meaning of the speech. The method used is descriptive qualitative research (research that shows assessment procedures that provide descriptive information in the form of written or spoken words about the people and behaviour observed) as well as a literature study approach (collecting data by understanding and studying theories from various literature related to the research). Through this literature study, the problems described previously can be resolved well. This research aims to analyze and describe persona deixis, place deixis, time deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis in the declaration speeches of presidential and vice-presidential candidates Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabumingraka on October 25, 2023. The results of the research data are 124 forms of deixis. The data is divided into 56 person deixis, 5 place deixis, 6 time deixis, 3 discourse deixis, and 48 social deixis.
