CONCLUSION

This chapter presents a conclusion of the results of the study based on the research

questions as formulated. This chapter is then subdivided into two smaller sections,

namely a conclusion and a recommendation related to the future study.

5.1 Conclusion

This study aims to investigate the representation of the conflict between KPK and

POLRI in the President’s speech and to reveal the ideology underlying the

representation. The problem examined in this study is how the conflict between KPK and POLRI is represented and what the ideology behind the President’s speech is. This study is largely qualitative. The data are the expressions contained

in the speech. Data are analysed based on the socio-cognitive approach to CDA

proposed by van Dijk (2008).

With regard to the first research question, it is found the dispute between KPK and

POLRI was represented by the President as the collective responsibilities for

Indonesian. This is further indicated as a strategy used by the President to solve

the conflict. Moreover, the conflict was also seen as a political crisis which, again,

not only blackened the reputation of the President, but also destroyed the

existence of KPK as the one and only institution established by the President

himself to fight the corruption in Indonesia.

With regard to the second research question, it is found that the President

demeanour reflects a social democracy due to his egocentric demenaour that leads

to the individualism. The study revealed that the President shows a partiality

towards the conflict. Instead of showing his impartial standpoint upon the conflict,

the President prudently made a stand against POLRI and thoroughly endorsed

The study also found that the President made a speech as a tool to restore his

“damaged” reputation due to the public’s consideration of his inactivity in

resolving the conflict between KPK and POLRI. Therefore, satisfying the people’s demand is considered to be the most effective way yet.

5.2 Recommendation

Based on the results of the present study, some suggestions are proposed,

especially for the purpose of further study. First, this study only focuses on the

representation of something in a speech. Further studies may include other types

of texts such as news reports, academic texts, or even literary works.

Second, this study only uses a text to analyse (one written text of the speech). It is

then recommended to use more data of analysis. Furthermore, analysing by using

a non-verbal interaction as body language and facial expressions are also
