CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents an introductory section of the study. It provides background
of the study, research questions, aims of the study, significances of the study,
research methodology that includes data collection and data analysis, clarification
of key terms, and organization of the paper.
1.1Background
There are many ways to represent our identity, for instance, we can represent our
identity through what we do. The way we act and dress can be one of the ways to
represent our identity. For example, the way nuns dress and the way Buddhist
monks wear three rectangular pieces of cheap dress to cover their body show their
religious identity. Similarly, the way Indonesian Moslem women wear hijab
represents their identity as a Moslem.
In relation to the term hijab, Abdulmumin (2012) says that there are
misunderstandings regarding the term in which the meaning of the term has been
corrupted and reduced to women’s headscarf. In addition, Guindi & Zuhur (2013)
mention that nowadays, the word hijab refers to the use of cloth that covers head
following certain style of dress considering Islamic rules. They also provide some
references from Qur’an, however, none of them mention that hijab is associated to
women’s outfit or headscarf. Instead, it refers to spatial partition or curtain. In
relation to the misconception of the word hijab, media play an important role in
changing the meaning of hijab, especially in Indonesia.
Media, as Livingstone (1996) states can change people’s behavior and
belief towards the information they are exposed. He says that media bring gradual
changes as a part of social construction and eventually those changes are
considered as tradition. It is not surprising that some of the terms spread in the
societies have changed or shifted from their original meaning. Furthermore, Feng
& Lapata (2010) assumed that the meaning of a word can be perceived by the
Nurul Auliyasani, 2014
HIJAB IN INDONESIAN ONLINE MEDIA
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
similarly in any contexts. The representation of the meaning of certain words can
be required, organized and used in language processing and understanding. Those
representations can be retrieved from verbal text as well as from visual text. Text
according to Halliday (1994, cited in Eggin, 2004) is not always in the form of
words, it can also be in the form of visual such as pictures. In analyzing visual and
verbal text, multimodality analysis can be used. Multimodality communicates
messages through more than one semiotic mode. Understanding the concept of
multimodality is important to do the analysis because the term hijab has been
shifted from its original meaning and the media contribute heavy proportion of
such changes through both verbal and visual text.
Within that context, Bezemer & Kress (2008, cited in Hermawan, 2013,
p.20) describes that mode can be in the form of images, sounds and space that are
shaped culturally and socially. Additionally, Hermawan (2013) states that in
analyzing a multimodal text we should combine linguistic tool of analysis such as
Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and other tools for analysis to understand
the meaning of picture for example Reading Images. O’Halloran (2008) asserts
that Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) focuses on the analysis of the
sequence parts which form stages in the development of the text, such as words,
word groups, clauses, clause complexes and paragraphs.
Previous studies which used multimodality analysis, for example,
O'Halloran (2008) who conducted a study using systemic functional-multimodal
discourse analysis (SF-MDA) approach. The study revealed how metaphorical
construction of the meaning occur in both verbal and visual element in printed
advertisement. Correspondingly, Knox (2007) conducted a study where the
sources are both in the form of verbal and visual text in online newspaper home
pages. The study brought about a new news text genre and specific genre of visual
grammar which combined socio-historical trends and the demand of the new
medium in news reporting. Meanwhile, Feng & Lapata (2010) conducted a study
that employed both visual and linguistic analysis on web documents. It used
corpus to find out the semantic representation of the data by considering two
Nurul Auliyasani, 2014
HIJAB IN INDONESIAN ONLINE MEDIA
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
representation of the data. They found that visual modality was considered
important to see a word learning and word similarity in priming studies. In the
same way, Kong (2013) also used corpus in collecting data of 110 newspaper
articles. His study focused on identifying the similarities and differences of
multimodality in Chinese and English language newspapes. His research found
that English as an alphabethic language used fewer pictures and tend to emphazise
words or sentences by capitalizing the word and make them in bold format.
Chinese, in contrast, as a pictorial or logographic language tend to use more
pictures, photos, icons, and arrow, tables and lists to serve informative purposes.
This study aims at analyzing the visual and verbal representation of the
word hijab in Indonesian online media. It combines Halliday’s SFL (1994) and
Kress & Van Lueween’s Reading Images (2006) as the framework analysis along
with corpus as the tool in collecting the data.
1.2Research questions
Regarding the issue above, the study is geared toward answering the following
research questions:
1. How is hijab verbally and visually represented in Indonesia online-media?
2. What does the representation signify?
1.3Aims of the study
1. To investigate verbal and visual representation of hijab
2. To find out the signification of the representation of hijab in Indonesia

1.4Significance of the study
The study is expected to offer a new alternative procedure in analyzing texts,
especially multimodal text. The study uses corpus as a method in collecting verbal
data so that the involvement of larger data is facilitated. Moreover, the results of
the study are also expected to enable readers in acknowledging that the meaning
of words might change over time.
1.5Clarification of key terms
To avoid misunderstanding, the following is the clarification of the terms used:
1. Representation is the process which links the relation between things,
concepts, and signs. It produces meaning of the concepts in our minds
through language (Hall, 2007).
2. Multimodality is an “analysis procedure” that combines linguistic analysis
i.e Systemic Functional Linguistics and other analysis tools to understand
pictures or images, if the texts are in the form of verbal and visual.
(Hermawan, 2013).
3. Corpus is a large collection of texts consisting of naturally occurring
examples of language stored electronically. In accordance with that,
corpus linguistic is a discipline, a methodology or an approach to the study
of language in use through corpus/corpora (Bennett, 2010).
4. Visual Grammar is the resources for encoding interpretations of
experience and forms of social interaction in visual images / pictures
(Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006 ).
5. Transitivity is a concept in Systemic Functional Linguistics where clauses
serve as representation. In dismantling the representation, transitivity
offers three linguistics structures which are used to explain the real world,
the three structures are circumstances, processes and participants. (Gerrot

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter elaborates the research methodology which is employed in the
present study. It consists of the research problem, research design, data
collection, data analysis and the examples of data presentation.
3.1. Research Problems
The study is geared toward answering the following research questions:
1. How is hijab verbally and visually represented in Indonesia online-media?
2. What does the representation signify?
3.2. Research Design
This present study uses descriptive qualitative method. Descriptive method can
use both qualitative and quantitative elements in a study (Knupfer & McLellan,
2001). According to Hancock, Ockleford, & Windridge (2009), qualitative
research deals with social phenomena and its aim is to help people understand the
social condition based on what they see. The qualitative method here is mainly
done by describing, analyzing and interpreting the construction of hijab in
selected online articles. For the purpose of the study, some numerical elements of
quantitative research in the form of frequency have been used. The study uses
Concordance software in collecting the data. It is used to find out the frequency of
collocation which appears in the textual data. Halliday‟s (1994) Systemic
Functional Linguistics and Kress and van Leeuwen‟s (2006) Visual Grammar

3.3. Data Collection
There are two types of data used in this study. The first data are in the form of
verbal texts which were selected from 150 online articles about hijab, retrieved
from the Internet. They were taken from three selected Indonesian online media.
They are republika.co.id, detik.com, and kompas.com. The articles were retrieved
from 2013 until early 2014. The second data are in the form of visual texts;
pictures accompanying the articles which contain the most frequent collocations
with the word hijab are used.
This study uses Corpus Linguistics as a tool in collecting the data. As
Bloomer and Wray (2006, p.196) mention “corpus (corpora in plural) is a set of
text in computer-readable form”. In collecting the verbal data, the online articles
had been downloaded prior to the analysis to be converted and gathered as a
txt.file as corpus-based data. They were processed by software named
Concordance to find out the collocations of the word hijab.
The study used the trial version of Concordance 3.3. Even though it was a
trial version, it still served the present study features which were needed to collect
the data of the study including making the word list, analyzing keywords,
counting word frequencies, and most importantly finding the collocation. There
are some steps to find collocations of the word hijab by using Concordance: first,
input the text file to be a concordance file; second, select the headword that is
going to be used; third, find out the collocation by clicking the collocation button
in the menu bar; fourth, sentences containing the most frequent collocation will
have been traced from the articles files; lastly, the clauses found will be analyzed
based on Transitivity framework. The steps are illustrated in these following

Figure 3.1 First step: inputting the text file to make a concordance file
To process data in Concordance software, the text file needs to be
converted to be a Concordance file. Figure 3.1 shows how to input the text file to
Concordance software to be then converted. The steps include adding files,
choosing the text file, and making a full concordance file.
Nurul Auliyasani, 2014
HIJAB IN INDONESIAN ONLINE MEDIA
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
The study needs the most frequently appeared of hijab’s collocation, as the verbal
text data to be analyzed. There are some steps to get that: first, select the
headword that is going to be used (hijab); then, find out the collocation by
clicking the collocation button at the menu bar. The result of hiijab’s collocation
is illustrated in the Figure 3.3 below.
Figure 3.3 The collocations found
Figure 3.3 presents words that are collocated with the word hijab. It shows
that the most frequent collocation appeared is the word mengenakan or “wear” or
“to wear” (in English). The sentences that contain phrases “mengenakan hijab” are selected as the verbal text data to be then analyzed.
3.4.Data Analysis
There are two analyses in this study; the verbal text analysis and the visual text
analysis. The first step of the verbal text analysis is identifying clauses containing
the most frequent collocation. They are analyzed by using Transitivity system
developed by Halliday (1994) to reveal how is hijab represented verbally by
analyzing the participants, processes and circumstances. Those three semantic
categories are the most general way in explaining the representation of the real
world in linguistic features (Halliday, 1994). Moreover, the visual data
accompanying the articles are analyzed using Kress & Van Leeuwen‟s theory of
Nurul Auliyasani, 2014
HIJAB IN INDONESIAN ONLINE MEDIA
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
metafunctions of communication; ideational, interpersonal and textual. The visual
analysis focuses on vector (ideational), gaze and shot (interpersonal), and layout
(textual). The findings are based on the two aforementioned data analysis
techniques.
3.5. Data Presentation
The analyzed data are presented in tables. The following tables show the example
of Transitivity analysis of each clause which contains the most frequent words
which are collocated with the word hijab.

Figure 3.4 The Picture of An Article Entitled Ketika Julia Perez Berhijab
Identification
The picture appears together with an article taken from
detik.com. The woman in the picture is an Indonesian
celebrity, Julia Perez. She is using an all black long gown
as her outfit including her hijab. Based on the article, she
is attending the celebration of Islamic New Year. The
setting of the photo is a mosque. There are some people
behind her who are doing the same activity as her in the
place.
Signification
Kress and van Leeuwen (2006) state that people, place,
and anything presented in an image can be categorized as
the represented participants. In the picture, the woman
who is wearing black outfit (Julia Perez), some people
Nurul Auliyasani, 2014
HIJAB IN INDONESIAN ONLINE MEDIA
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
represented participants. There is a reactional process which happens in this picture. Kress and van Leeuwen
(2006) say that the process happens when the represented
participants share connection through vector (p.59). There
are vectors directed from the people behind Julia Perez to
her. People behind Julia Perez which are considered as the
reacters form vector through their gaze to her (Julia Perez) as the phenomena. The vector formed by the eye line or
direction of the glance of one or more represented
participants (Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006 p.67). There are two kind of gaze in this picture. The first is the gaze of
the people behind Julia Perez who are looking at her. Their
gaze makes her the center of attention. The second gaze is
addressed by Julia Perez to the viewer. In this picture, Julia
is smiling. It implies that the main represented participant
creates a demand for the viewer‟s attention to have a social
relation with her through the gaze. Kress and van Leeuwen
(2006) mention that the direct address of the represented
participants can be realized through smile, or stare with
cold disdain. This picture uses medium shot, because the
picture shows the waist of Julia Perez. According to Kress
and van Leeuwen (2006) the medium shot cuts off the
subject between waist and knees (p.124). The shot is a
social kind in which the phenomena usually occur in daily
life. In other words, the represented participants are equal
to the interactive participants. In this context, it can be said
that Julia Perez demands for people‟s attention of her new
look when she is wearing hijab. Moreover, the picture of
Julia Perez is placed in the center. Thus, the people behind
her are marginalized. According to Kress and van
Nurul Auliyasani, 2014
HIJAB IN INDONESIAN ONLINE MEDIA
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
is the nucleus of information, while the other elements are
less important (p.196). Julia Perez is depicted as the main
information of the picture which demands viewers‟
attention for her new look when wearing hijab. Julia Perez
has been known as an Indonesian celebrity who always
looks sexy shown by her daily outfit. However, in this
picture, Julia Perez is wearing an outfit which is different
from her usual look. In the context of the picture, this can
be understood that hijab worn by Julia Perez becomes
significant, new information. Hijab is considered
something special because it is worn by Julia Perez.
Based on the analysis, hijab is verbally represented as the goal following
the material processes. According to Haliday (1994), material process describes
physical activities between participants. In other words, the participants physically
do something to the other participants or objects. The goal is the participant in
which a process may be done. The phenomena are also found visually in the
picture where the material process is realized by the action of Julia Perez (as an
actor) who is wearing hijab (as the goal).
Moreover, the circumstance of time appeared in the first clause can be
considered as an additional information. It is said that “She wore hijab at the
celebration of Islamic new year.” the compliment of time explains that Julia Perez
only wears hijab on the special occasion like the Islamic new year celebration. It
is called special because she never wears hijab in her daily activity. She is an
actress and a singer who is well known for her revealing seductive outfit.
Based on the visual analysis, Julia Perez who is wearing hijab attracts
people‟s attention more because of her new look. The position of Julia Perez which is in the center of the picture makes her the center of attention of the
viewers and the main information of the picture. Furthermore, her gaze indicates
Nurul Auliyasani, 2014
HIJAB IN INDONESIAN ONLINE MEDIA
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
the waist and knee of the represented participants. The shot indicates that the
represented participants are equal to the interactive participants (Kress and van
Leeuwen, 2006). In the context of the picture, it can be said that the represented
participants are doing something like the interactive participants do. In
conclusion, the picture implies that wearing hijab has become a common thing for
Indonesian Muslim women, because the article was published at one of the
Indonesian online media. Meanwhile, it becomes significant when a celebrity like
Julia Perez wears it. Thus, hijab is visually represented significantly as a new

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
In concluding the present study, this final chapter is divided into two subchapters
involving conclusions and suggestions. The first subchapter provides a summary
of the answers to the problems and the inference taken from the findings. The
second subchapter presents suggestions for further studies.
5.1 Conclusion
The present study is conducted to investigate how hijab is verbally and visually
represented in Indonesian online media. This study is also aimed to find out the
significations of the representation. The verbal text analysis applies Transitivity
system proposed by Halliday (1994). Meanwhile, the visual text data are analyzed
by using Kress and van Leeuwen’s framework on Visual Grammar (2006).
The general representation is mostly shaped by Material and Mental
Processes in verbal text. The verbal text analysis helps to find out the
representation of the hijab. The representation is revealed from the Processes,
Participants and Circumstances of the clauses. Specifically, based on the verbal
text analysis, the study is also found that hijab is represented as a fashion item and
as a religious rule.
The representations found based on the visual analysis are mostly
identified through action processes, offer gaze, medium shot, and center-marginal
layout. Those characteristic, then, can be said as the way of Indonesian online
media represent the use of hijab visually.
Based on the analyses, the study reveals that hijab is generally represented
identity symbol of Moslem women following their religious rule. Based on that
representation, the findings are categorized into four types of representation. It is
found that hijab is represented as a new distinctive identity, a symbol of minority
in Western countries, a symbol of women empowerment and a commodity
Nurul Auliyasani, 2014
HIJAB IN INDONESIAN ONLINE MEDIA
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
Thus, conclusion taken from both the findings and discussions lies in the
representations of hijab, heading to formation of identity as women in general.
The constructed identity therefore flows to emergent constraints of hijab in social
context: oppressive attitude towards hijab and Moslem, struggle and demand for
empowerment, and applicability of hijab as massal product in fashion business.
5.2 Suggestion
There are several suggestions for further studies which are still related to the
present study. This study uses corpus linguistic as a tool for collecting the data,
but only focuses on the collocation of the data. A larger data can be collected by
employing corpus linguistics. Furthermore, the next study can explore other
features of corpus to be the sources of the study such as make wordlists or word
frequency lists and indexes.
The present study employs a multimodal analysis, namely verbal and
visual analysis. The other mode can be used to get a various perspective by
experiencing the other analysis mode. Furthermore, this present study uses two
tools of Systemic Functional Linguistics, Transitivity System and Visual
Grammar. Thus, for the next studies, the Representational and Textual meaning
can be explored for analyzing the verbal text data.
This study uses hijab as the main topic. It only explores news article from
the online media. While, online media serves another interesting source that can
be explored more for the next studies. Current issues can be a fascinating topic for
the next study. Furthermore, news in the form of video can also be employed for a
