Abstract

In June 2022, people in the United States, especially celebrities were shocked by the news of the murder. The manager of actor and rapper Ludacris, Chaka Zulu, was accused as the murderer. With that accusations, he receive various negative reaction from the public. Chaka’s legal team immediately held a press conference to sway public opinion and in that occasion, it could be found social actor representation. Among the many pieces of research regarding social actor representation, research that investigate spoken discourse is rarely carried out. Therefore, this study aims to investigate exclusion and inclusion strategies used by lawyers when representing social actors in press conference. This study uses van Leeuwen’s social actor representation theory (2008). It uses a descriptive-qualitative method to ensure clear data analysis. The data were obtained from the FOX 5 Atlanta YouTube channel. This study reveals that lawyers use exclusion and inclusion. The lawyers used more inclusion than exclusion. Moreover, the most frequent sub-inclusion strategy is role allocation, as active and passive roles allow lawyers to show who is guilty and who is not. Meanwhile, the most frequent exclusion strategy is suppression, it allows lawyers to eliminate actors and emphasize others. Future studies is recommended to explore other van Leeuwen approaches. Future studies can also use other spoken discourse as research topics, for example press conference with public relation or others.    
出席查卡-祖鲁案件新闻发布会的社会活动家代表
2022 年 6 月,美国民众,尤其是名人被一则谋杀消息震惊了。演员兼说唱歌手卢达克里斯(Ludacris)的经纪人查卡-祖鲁(Chaka Zulu)被指控为凶手。由于这一指控,他受到了公众的各种负面反应。查卡的律师团队立即召开了新闻发布会,以动摇公众舆论。在有关社会行动者代表性的众多研究中,很少有研究对口语进行调查。因此,本研究旨在探讨律师在新闻发布会上代表社会行动者时所使用的排斥和包容策略。本研究采用了 van Leeuwen 的社会行动者代表理论(2008 年)。本研究采用描述-定性方法,以确保清晰的数据分析。数据来自亚特兰大 FOX 5 YouTube 频道。本研究揭示了律师使用排斥和包容的情况。律师使用的包容多于排斥。此外,最常用的次包容策略是角色分配,因为主动和被动角色可以让律师表明谁有罪、谁无罪。同时,最常用的排除策略是压制,它允许律师排除行为人并强调其他人。建议今后的研究探索其他的范-李欧文方法。未来的研究还可以使用其他口语话语作为研究课题,例如与公共关系有关的新闻发布会或其他。
