<p><strong>This article aims to describe the Arab Spring phenomenon through critical discourse analysis of the Qatar Debate. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with the note-taking method. The results of the study show that the structure of the discourse contained in the Qatar debate consists of several structures. First, the macrostructure that contains thematic elements or general themes, namely about ‘Arab Spring has failed’. Second, is the superstructure which contains schematic elements referring to the system and the rules of the game in the turn of speech. Third, the microstructure contains elements of semantics, syntax, stylistics, rhetoric, and metaphors. The semantic element of the Qatar debate shows the uses of language that aims to rever to connotative meanings. Syntactically, the Qatari debaters are dominant using active sentence patterns and noun sentences (jumlah ismiyah). From the stylistic aspect, both teams have their own style of language, as the pro team uses a lot of declarative styles while the counter team tends to use an interrogative style. The rhetorical and metaphorical elements are used a few times but not in large portions. This study also shows the different views of the two teams from two countries that represent the social views of the people in their respective countries towards the Arab Spring phenomenon.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong> – <em>Arab Spring, Critical Discourse Analyst, Qatar Debate</em></p>

"Convention, Context and Critical Discourse Analysis: 'Jim The Boatman' and The Early Fiction of Trinidad" re-evaluates the claim of colored authorship which has been attributed to a short story published anonymously, in the Trinidad Spectator in 1846. This re-evaluation is significant since 'Jim the Boatman" has been cited as part of a collection of writing in the emerging literary tradition of nonwhite authors of nineteenth century Trinidad. A critical discourse approach to identifying the writer, in this essay, proposes an alternative paradigm to traditional "plantation power structures" which have been used for identifying writers of anonymous texts, as they may override the cultural context of literary discourse formation in complex Anglophone Caribbean societies like Trinidad. Critical Discourse Analysis focuses specifically on the ways in which writers’ discursive behavior is the result of external sociopolitical pressures, and the strategies they use for textualizing their worldview, in their cultural contexts. This alternative paradigm is based on the researcher’s critical observation of the social context, discourse conventions, and language use in relation to anonymous texts.

In the discussion about social injustice, inequality becomes a core issue. It is proven by inequality themed short stories which are still relevant nowadays although they were written decades ago. In this paper we analyse the 1928’s short story Magic written by Katherine Anne Porter under Fairclough's (1922) critical discourse analysis. It aims at finding social wrong—especially inequality issues in the short story and finding possible ways to solve the social wrong.The analysis will be done in the framework of Fairclough’s critical discourse methods which divides the discourse into three dimensions, i.e. linguistic description of the language text, interpretation of the relationship between the discursive processes and the text, and explanation of the relationship between the discursive processes and social processes (Fairclough, 1995). To describe the linguistic aspect of the text, appraisal theory is used as the approach to support the process of analyzing the linguistic elements that create the discourse. Thus, the analysis will link the linguistic and social contexts of the discourse. The results show that there are some social wrongs happen in the story. It is also shown through judgement, affect, and appreciation.

Bliss is one of Katherine Mansfield’s masterpieces, which is a short story containing a large number of discourses, i.e. speeches. Previous scholars analyzed this classical novel from many perspectives, among them the discursive power is less mentioned and is worth discussing. This paper applying critical discourse analysis theory on discursive power and the interrelation between discourse and power, discusses the non-equivalence between the identity and discursive power of the heroine, Bertha, aiming to provide a new perspective to appreciate the novel and unveil the power in discourse of the novel.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif deskriptif yang bertujuan untuk memahami fenomena sosial yang muncul dalam cerpen tersebut. Prosedur analitisnya tidak menggunakan prosedur analisis statistik. Data dikumpulkan dari sebuah cerpen berjudul “Datangnya dan Perginya” yang ditulis oleh A.A.Navis pada tahun 1950-an. Data tersebut adalah kata-kata yang tertulis dalam cerpen tersebut. Setelah data diperoleh, kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan teknik analisis data menurut Sudaryanto. Teknik yang digunakan dikenal dengan teknik segmentasi konstituen langsung. Berdasarkan teknik tersebut, data bahasa dapat dianalisis dengan mengatur kombinasi kata yang bermakna secara intuitif dan mengklasifikasikannya. Peneliti menemukan bahwa ada 8 gaya bahasa yang digunakan dalam cerpen karangan A.A. Navis tersebut. Kedelapan gaya bahasa tersebut adalah Personifikasi, Hiperbol, Anastrof, Satir, Simile, Metafora, Anafora, dan Pleonasme. Secara sintaksis, pola kalimat VSO dan VOS banyak digunakan selain pola SVO yang umum digunakan dalam tata bahasa Indonesia kontemporer. Untuk tahap pengolahan analisis, interpretasi yang muncul adalah penggunaan berbagai bentuk atau gaya bahasa dan struktur sintaksis yang berbeda untuk membentuk keindahan tersendiri. Selain itu, istilah religi yang mewarnai cerpen ini mendukung beberapa makna. Tahapan analisis sosial dijelaskan oleh jenis-jenis unsur yang dimunculkan yaitu kritik terhadap realitas sosial.
