Abstract
ABSTRACT
The new concept of metaphor was introduced. The main principle of the new concept is that metaphor does not only concern with language, but also connect with the way we think. It can form our thought. Thought is most often a hidden ideology that might present belief and value system of particular group. It is admitted that metaphor is an ideology. Therefore, the appropriate approach to analyze ideology of metaphor is Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). It is relevant for academic research in any subjects such as social, political, educational, and linguistic sciences. It tries to detect social inequality, power and relations embedded in texts used by the powerful people in communication. The aim of this research is to find out the way how journalists employ metaphors on the news.
The descriptive qualitative method is employed in conducting this research. To obtain the data, the researcher himself becomes the main instrument by browsing the internet, reading and classifying the data. Then, the data are analyzed by using Critical Discourse Analysis proposed by van Dijk.
The findings of the research show that the journalists use metaphors by making a comparison between the original issues with something else, with different meanings. The journalists use metaphor to highlight, dramatize, and bias the issues which occur in the social life. The special purpose of journalists in using metaphor in the Jakarta post daily newspaper is to discriminate, marginalize, intimidate, and downgrade other personals or groups.
Based on the findings above, I suggest the next researches should not fall and flow in journalist, persons, and groups view of something because we have to be neutral. Then, because this research use van Dijk’s theoretical framework, I hope the next researchers analyze metaphor uses other different frameworks such as Woodak’s or Fairchlaugh’s frameworks. Different framework will show whether metaphor in the news of Jakarta Post is appropriate to analyze with another framework. Furthermore, next researchers are able to conduct research metaphor use van Dijk’s theory in other subjects such as formal speech, movies scrip, and etc.
