Membangun Wacana `Perdamaian` di Era Pandemi Covid-19: Analisis Wacana Positif Tuturan Joko Widodo

Agik Nur Efendi

Abstract

This article uses positive discourse analysis to examine President Joko Widodo's speech during the Covid-19 Pandemic era. The purpose of this study is to offer exploratory insights into texts and utterances that reflect discursive practices in providing serenity and describe how discourse can be used to provide social progressiveness. This analysis is guided by positive discourse analysis which focuses more on progressivity using lexical items, delivery strategies, metaphors, diction selection, and modalities. With this strategy, we try to describe how a state leader constructs a discourse of peace and suggest people to stay calm in the community amid panic caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. This research highlights how rhetoric can be interpreted as a message, hope, protection, and giving peace. The results showed that Joko Widodo used metáfor and diction to support the stability and tranquility of society in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic. Joko Widodo gave a calm feeling by conveying the same feelings about getting through the pandemic. Positive discourse at least contributes to the problems at hand.
