Abstract
AbstractThis study sought to identify the many sorts of logical fallacies used in Indonesian television debates, notably those made by students who participated in the 2019 protests and rioting there. This is a descriptive study that takes a qualitative approach. In this study, the five categories and sixty-two types of fallacies introduced by Damer's (2009) theory of fallacy classification were used. There were eighteen of the sixty different types identified. First, the results revealed that students consistently violated the acceptability and rebuttal criteria in their arguments, using five different fallacies in each category. Second, with a frequency of 27.98%, poisoning the well was the type of fallacy that students used the most frequently, followed by the two-wrong fallacy with a frequency of 10.29% and manipulation of emotion with a frequency of 8.82%.
期刊介绍:
Asiatic is the very first international journal on English writings by Asian writers and writers of Asian origin, currently being the only one of its kind. It aims to publish high-quality researches and outstanding creative works combining the broad fields of literature and linguistics on the same intellectual platform. Asiatic will contain a rich collection of selected articles on issues that deal with Asian Englishes, Asian cultures and Asian literatures in English, including diasporic literature and Asian literatures in translation. Articles may include studies that address the multidimensional impacts of the English Language on a wide variety of Asian cultures (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian and others). Subjects of debates and discussions will encompass the socio-economic facet of the Asian world in relation to current academic investigations on literature, culture and linguistics. This approach will present the works of English-trained Asian writers and scholars, having English as the unifying device and Asia as a fundamental backdrop of their study. The three different segments that will be featured in each issue of Asiatic are: (i) critical writings on literary, cultural and linguistics studies, (ii) creative writings that include works of prose fiction and selections of poetry and (iv) review articles on Asian books, novels and plays produced in English (or translated into English). These works will reflect how elements of western and Asian are both subtly and intensely intertwined as a result of acculturation, globalisation and such.
