A Corpus-Based Study of Readers’ Comments on Online News on the Policies Adopted by the Jakarta Governor During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract The study examined comments posted on political news articles that generated negative criticism driven primarily by the politically polarized views of the readers. The investigation employed lexical and pragmatic analyses to probe a corpus of 882 reader comments posted on the Detiknews website news articles regarding the policies adopted by the Jakarta governor to handle the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. Based on the corpus, we examined the linguistic expression of negative criticism from word frequency, the speech acts underlying the negative criticism, and the stances of the commenters. The results of the examination revealed that the most frequent words of the criticism comprised nouns, pronouns, and negation lexis. Overall, such terms were used by commenters to intensify the impact of their negative criticism. Meanwhile, the most dominant speech act underlying the criticism is evaluative. In this case, the commenters functioning as judges is also the most dominant role because of the one-to-one relationship between the speech act and the stance-taking role. Such commenters produced negative criticism on the Jakarta governor, driven primarily by their different political views.
期刊介绍:
Corpus Pragmatics offers a forum for theoretical and applied linguists who carry out research in the new linguistic discipline that stands at the interface between corpus linguistics and pragmatics. The journal promotes the combination of the two approaches through research on new topics in linguistics, with a particular focus on interdisciplinary studies, and to enlarge and implement current pragmatic theories that have hitherto not benefited from empirical corpus support. Authors are encouraged to describe the statistical analyses used in their research and to supply the data and scripts in R when possible. The objective of Corpus Pragmatics is to develop pragmatics with the aid of quantitative corpus methodology. The journal accepts original research papers, short research notes, and occasional thematic issues. The journal follows a double-blind peer review system.
