INDONESIA:

Kaplan (1966) menyatakan bahwa analisa retorika kontras merupakan salah suatu cara memahami cara menulis seseorang yang mempunyai perbedaan latar belakang budaya yang membentuk pola tersendiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memakai teori tersebut untuk mendeskripsikan berita terpilih tentang konflik Suriah pada berita online CNN dan Al-Jazeera yang dilaporkan pada bulan Mei 2014.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif yang berfokus pada pendeskripsian secara komprehensif tentang pola retorika dan strategi penulis dalam meyakinkan pembacanya. Ada dua tahap dalam penelitian ini. Pertama, mengidentifikasi konsep kohesif dan koheren untuk menentukan pola retorika. Kedua, mengungkap strategi meyakinkan pembaca berdasarkan tiga pertimbangan: pertimbangan logika, pertimbangan kepercayaan, dan pertimbangan emosional.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada pola retorika pada masing- masing website berita online. Dua pola retorika tersebut adalah English dan semitic. Hasil lain menunjukkan bahwa CNN dan Al-Jazeera keduanya menggunakan pertimbangan retorika sebagai strategi meyakinkan pembaca. Akan tetapi, CNN dan Al-Jazeera mempunyai perbedaan cara dalam mengaplikasikan ketiga pertimbangan retorika tersebut.
