Language Ethics: | ScienceGate

Working through Balaska’s deeply perceptive, elegantly written, and profoundly honest book, Wittgenstein and Lacan at the Limit, a reader steeped in the recent academic literature about either or both of its main figures may come to feel herself placed at what is, itself, a certain kind of limit. The limit I mean is the limit of a familiar type of theoretical discourse about the constitution and structure of language and subjectivity as Wittgenstein and Lacan treat them: it includes the discourses that seek, for instance, to articulate how language and sense are constituted in the Tractatus, and thus what is really meant by “logical form” and “nonsense” there; or those that aim to comprehend the true relationship of our biological nature to language, culture, and the advent of freedom in Lacan; or, again, those that try to find, in either thinker’s works (or both), the precise location of the delicate logical buttonhole that would alone permit us entry, from within everyday language and life, to the absoluteness of an ineffable beyond. These discourses all treat of language and life, but handle these phenomena (so we might say) at arm’s length, theorizing the structure of each and the form of their relationship in such a way as to establish, ultimately, their mutual convertibility to one another, their mutual absorption into a third, more inclusive term (such as “nature” or “biology), or adduce translations from the dense theoretical matrices of one thinker’s treatment of them to the other’s (for instance, from the terminology of logic to that of psychoanalysis, or back again). Balaska’s book, doing none of these things, rather succeeds in bringing out how an interconnected reading of the Wittgenstein of the Tractatus and Lacan may speak to and inform our response to a certain kind of experience that is characteristic for both thinkers, and typical as well of those moments and occasions of our lives in which we may find ourselves drawn to reflect on what meaning is and how we relate to it.

Bahasa Indonesia

Indonesian language learning in schools is directed at improving students’ language skills, bothin the aspects of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Speaking is one of the language skillsthat is vulnerable in relation to spoken ethics. Language ethics is defined as a normative rule oflanguage use which becomes a general guideline agreed by the language user community thatsuch a method is recognized as a language that is polite, respectful, and in accordance with thevalues that apply in society. Someone who is skilled at speaking must consider what will be saidbefore speaking. It is not wrong if the saying goes that language is someone’s personal mirror.The phrase shows that a person’s personality can be judged by his speech in language. Formany people, good words, gentle, polite, will portray someone as a good person and virtuouscharacter. Conversely, rude and bad words will also cause a bad image in the person. On thatbasis, Indonesian speech ethics has an important role in learning in schools which also contributes to the student’s character education curriculum.

Language Ethics

ABSTRACT Communication and language are two phenomena from one reality. Language is a means of expressing ways of communicating, and it reciprocally presupposes with communication. Where there is communication, language presence is demanded. Hence the language exists as a medium of communication. This study analyses the language battles of “Cebong-Kampret” on Facebook groups. Two aspects are investigated in this research: logic and ethics. The logic requires the use of language by rules. Language can be understood within the framework of rationality. Ethics requires language that creating peace rather than encouraging hatred. How is the language contested in the battle of “Cebong Kampret” on Facebook? Facebook is a web-based media technology that has its characteristics, such as easily accessed and reach a wider audience. Everyone can be a creator of meaning. The communication process is synchronous and encourages the user’s instant response. This characteristic carries risks. Facebook, in the political context of “Cebong-Kampret,” is paradoxical. People’s political preferences are influenced by Facebook even though the language ignores the logical-ethical language rules. The fight of language in politics is justified as far as upholding the logic and ethics. Logic language teaches the principles based on standards. Misuse of language logic makes language lose its ethical value in practice. Language ethics teaches the principles of good language, which can create peace.Keywords: Language; Logic and Ethicsl; Social Media; Paradox, PoliticsABSTRAK Komunikasi dan bahasa adalah dua fenomena dari satu kenyataan. Komunikasi menyertakan bahasa. Bahasa sebagai alat mengekspresikan berbagai cara berkomunikasi. Bahasa dan komunikasi saling mengandaikan. Dimana terdapat kegiatan berkomunikasi bahasa dituntut kehadirannya. Bahasa hadir sebagai media ekspresi aktivitas komunikasi. Kajian ini menganalisis pertarungan bahasa kelompok “Cebong” dan “Kampret” di facebook. Dua aspek dianalisis, yaitu logika dan etika berbahasa. Logika berbahasa mensyaratkan penggunaan bahasa menurut kaidah sehingga bisa dimengerti dalam kerangka rasionalitas. Etika mensyaratkan penggunaan bahasa yang menciptakan perdamaian bukan mendorong kebencian. Apa yang terjadi dengan bahasa yang dipertarungkan “Cebong” dan “Kampret” di facebook? Facebook adalah media berbasis teknologi web. Dia memiliki karakteristik sendiri, seperti: Dapat diakses dengan mudah. Menjangkau khalayak lebih luas. Setiap orang bisa menjadi pencipta makna. Proses komunikasi berlangsung sinkronik. Mendorong respon instan penggunanya. Karakteristik ini mengandung risiko. Penggunaan facebook, dalam konteks politik “Cebong” dan “Kampret” bersifat paradoks. Preferensi pilihan politik masyarakat dipengaruhi facebook padahal bahasa yang digunakan mengabaikan aturan berbahasa secara logis-etis. Pertarungan bahasa dalam politik dibenarkan sejauh menjunjung tinggi logika dan etika berbahasa. Logika berbahasa mengajarkan prinsip berbahasa berdasarkan aturan. Penyalahgunaan logika berbahasa membuat bahasa kehilangan nilai etis dalam praktiknya. Etika berbahasa mengajar prinsip pemakaian bahasa yang baik. Bahasa yang baik menciptakan perdamaian.Kata Kunci; Bahasa; Logika dan Etika, Media Sosial, Paradoks, Politik.
