INTRODECTION
A. The background of the study
Everybody on this world cannot live with their self; they need to interact with
the others. That’s why people use language, because language is a network of
relationship. According to Halliday (2002) one function of language is to provide
for interaction between people, by allowing the expression of statues, social, and
individual attitudes, assessment, judgment and the like; and this is includes
participation in linguistic interaction. Language itself defines as the roles which
people may take the situation in which they are communicating with one another.
Halliday stated that language is simultaneously used as representation, exchange,
and organization of experience. Every language incorporates opinion whereby the
speaker can vary his own communication role, making assertion, asking question,
giving orders, expressing doubt and so on.
According to Hallyday, there is an interrelation between the “surface level
realization of the linguistics function and the sociocultural framework” (munday,
2001: 90). Register consist of three types; they are Field, Mode, and Tenor. Field
concerns with the topic of situation or in another word what is going on or what
activity is taking place. Mode is about who takes part in situation and where the
place situation takes. Meanwhile, tenor deals with things that influence the
This study attempt to discuss one of three types of register, it is tenor which is
focus on power. The source data of this study is the script of Ir. Joko widodo
speech. Tenor that is interpersonal meaning its concern more with the interaction
between the speaker and addressee, influence his behavior and how the speaker
expresses his viewpoint.
This reason why this research was conducted because people sometimes don’t
realize that the way they speak can show the aspect of power and status in tenor.
They are affected by the wealth, ethnicity, position, age, geographical origins, sex,
knowledge, and physical appearance of the speaker.
Chronologically at one occasion there occurs a conflict or discrepancy of need
between two sides of the participants. The conflict sets to roles that are to that of
the addresser (the speaker in spoken language or the writer in the written
language) and that of the addressee (the listener/hearer in spoken language or the
reader in written language). After the participants have their own roles, they are
then set to social relationship to solve the conflict.
The script sample of Ir. Joko Widodo’s speech can be seen as following :
“Salam Damai Sejahtera untuk kita semua, Baru saja kami mengucapkan
sumpah, sumpah itu memiliki makna spiritual yang dalam, yang menegaskan
komitmen untuk bekerja keras mencapai kehendak kita bersama sebagai bangsa
The power of the speech from this script sample can be seen that Joko
Widodo statement has an equal status with the addressee, because he state that
“we” as an Indonesian society.
Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is an Indonesian politician who has been President
of Indonesia since October 2014. Jokowi's popularity across Indonesia rose
sharply following his election to the high-profile position of governor of Jakarta.
During 2013 and early 2014 he was increasingly seen as a potential PDI-P
(Indonesia Democratic Party - Struggle) candidate for the 2014 presidential
election. His nomination was announced on 14 March 2014. This study will help
readers and the students to know how are tenor in Ir. Joko Widodo’s speech.
Someone has power is she/he gained wealth. In other words, someone is
powerful if she/he is rich as by his richness he/she can pay others to do or not to
do what he wants (Saragih:40:2014)
